Seattle hosted free agent offensive lineman Teven Jenkins earlier in the week, only to watch him sign with Cleveland, and now a day later the Seahawks have reportedly agreed to teams with a key member of the Browns’ special teams.
During the first offseason of the Mike Macdonald era the Seattle Seahawks moved on from several key members of their special teams unit, including the released of Nick Bellore, waiving Jon Rhattigan and allowing DeeJay Dallas to depart in free agency.
Those three found success in their new homes, while the special teams units of the Hawks often struggled at times. Perhaps as a result of those struggles, Friday it was reported by NFL insider Jordan Schultz that Seattle has agreed to terms with one of the special teams leaders of the Cleveland Browns.

D’Anthony Bell is a safety who has seen limited playing time on defense during his three seasons in the NFL since entering the league as an undrafted free agent out of West Florida in 2022, logging just 392 defensive snaps in three seasons. However, he finished among the special teams snaps leaders for the Browns in each of his three seasons in Cleveland, where he was a member of the kickoff coverage, kickoff return, punt coverage, punt return and field goal/extra point block units.
No terms have been reported as of publication, but Field Gulls will work to provide those details once they become available.
