The Seattle Seahawks addressed one of their offseason needs by signing tight end Ed Dickson to a three-year contract.
While Dickson isn't intended to be a replacement for Jimmy Graham Shane Ray Jersey , he is the kind of tight end Seattle needs if it's going to return to an offense that controls the game with the run. Dickson is an excellent blocker who also was a serviceable pass-catching option during his time in Baltimore and Carolina.
Dickson had 30 receptions and one touchdown last season with the Panthers. He spent four seasons with the Panthers after four seasons in Baltimore.
It's also a return home for Dickson, who played collegiately at Oregon. Dickson's contract, which was announced Friday, is worth up to $14 million and includes a $2.6 million signing bonus.
Seattle also formally announced the signing of linebacker Barkevious Mingo.

Lingg didn’t realize Jones played in the NFL. Her daughter-in-law, Jackie Lingg, thought Jones worked at the airport as he wheeled Nancee Lingg to the waiting family.
鈥淢y mom thought he worked for the airlines Jeff Driskel Jersey , which is pretty funny,鈥?Teresa Lingg, Nancee’s granddaughter, said, via Wes Hodkiewicz of the team website. 鈥淚t was really cool. He seems like a standup guy. My mom and grandma both said, 鈥楬e must have been raised very well.鈥欌€?/p>
Nancee’s husband of 61 years died in February Todd Gurley II Jersey , and the Lingg family will travel to Texas for his memorial service this weekend.
Jones, meanwhile, now knows the name of his biggest fan.
鈥淚鈥檒l tell you, it brings a big smile to my face when it comes across my phone,鈥?Packers coach Mike McCarthy said. 鈥淚鈥檓 thankful that everybody else is getting to see what I get to see pretty much every day. This is a tremendous locker room. We鈥檝e been very fortunate and blessed with the caliber of character that we have in our locker room. So when things like that are expressed, especially on social media Zach Laskey Jersey , it brings a smile to my face.
