Seahawks' Pierre Desir: Signing with Seahawks

Desir agreed Wednesday with the Seahawks on a one-year contract, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

The addition of Desir bolsters the Seahawks' depth at cornerback, with Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times noting that the move presumably makes it less likely that the team will consider signing free-agent cornerback Richard Sherman. In 12 games last season between the Jets and Ravens, Desir recorded 49 tackles and three picks.
