After visiting with the team on Tuesday, Dwight Freeney announced on Twitter that he has signed with the Seattle Seahawks.

Freeney has gone unsigned since Super Bowl LI, when he was a member of the NFC Champion Atlanta Falcons. He has recorded 122.5 sacks in his career, which places Freeney in the top 20 in NFL history.
