Seattle was in need of linebacker help with
middle linebacker Bobby Wagner battling a groin injury and
outside linebacker K.J. Wright in jeopardy of missing his second
straight game due to a knee injury.
Kendricks was available after the Cleveland Browns released him
in August as his legal issues increased.
Earlier this month, Kendricks pled guilty before a federal judge
and faces up to 25 years in prison, with sentencing scheduled
for December.
Kendricks, who turns 28 later this month, admitted before a
federal judge in Philadelphia that he swapped cash, NFL tickets
and access to parties with a Wall Street-connected associate for
non-public, market-shifting information.
Prosecutors said Kendricks netted close to $1.2 million in
profits off the trading during his two-year arrangement with a
former Goldman Sachs analyst.
Kendricks appeared in 85 games (74 starts) with the Philadelphia
Eagles from 2012-17. He recorded 14 sacks, three interceptions
and five fumble recoveries in that span.
Kendricks was part of Philadelphia's the Super Bowl-winning team
last season. He was released in May.
He was a second-round selection out of Cal in 2012.
