You might have missed it if you blinked. Seattle made a sizable addition to their defensive line ten days into the free agent period. Ahtyba (pronounced Ah-TAH-bah) Rubin signed a one-year, $2.6M contract with just $1M fully guaranteed. He was once an up-and-comer in the Cleveland Browns organization, signing a sizable $26.5M contract extension with the team back in 2011 that included $18M in guarantees, but has fallen out of favor with waning performance and some injury trouble last year. Pete Carroll has been unabashed in his eagerness to see what Rubin can do in his defense.
