Seattle Finalizes Signing Of Fmr. Viking DT Kevin Williams

RENTON, Wash. (AP) — The Seattle Seahawks have finalized their signing of veteran defensive tackle Kevin Williams and added running back Demitrius Bronson to their roster ahead of this week's minicamp.

Seattle made the roster moves Monday. The Seahawks begin their three-day mandatory minicamp on Tuesday.

Williams and the Seahawks agreed to terms on a one-year contract late last week. Williams will be entering his 12th season in the NFL, having spent his entire career until now with the Minnesota Vikings. Williams started 15 games last season for the Vikings with 3 ½ sacks and an interception.

Bronson was an invitee to the Seahawks' rookie camp last month. He was an honorable all-Big Sky selection his senior season at Eastern Washington.

Seattle released quarterback Keith Price and defensive end Kenneth Boatright to clear roster space. Price was a college standout at Washington and signed as an undrafted free agent following May's draft.
