A day after visiting with free agent cornerback Tramaine Brock, the Seattle Seahawks have reportedly signed the former San Francisco 49ers starter.
On the field, this has to be seen as a major coup for a Seahawks team that has struggled at cornerback opposite Richard Sherman over the past couple seasons.
Brock, 28, started all 16 games for the 49ers last season. He put up 59 tackles, 14 passes defended and one interception in acting as the team’s No. 1 cornerback.
San Francisco released Brock back in April after he was arrested on domestic violence charges. Once Brock himself was cleared on said charges, it became readily apparent that he would latch on to another NFL team.
Brock figures to start opposite Sherman once he gains more experience playing in Seattle’s defensive scheme.
