The Seahawks have once again acquired guard J.R. Sweezy.
Sweezy
Joe Montana Jersey , a seventh-round pick of the Seahawks in 2012, re-signed with Seattle today. To make room for Sweezy on the roster, the Seahawks waived guard Avery Young.
The 29-year-old Sweezy started 14 games for the Buccaneers last season. That was actually the only season he played for the Buccaneers
Anthony Sherman Jersey , despite signing a five-year deal worth $32.5 million with them in 2016. He missed the entire 2016 season with a back injury, and the Bucs released him this offseason.
Despite playing defense in college, Sweezy developed into a starting offensive lineman in Seattle
Dwayne Allen Jersey , starting 46 games from 2013 to 2015 for the Seahawks.
The Seahawks need help on the offensive line, and Sweezy should compete with D.J. Fluker and Ethan Pocic for playing time at guard.
ATLANTA FALCONS (11-7)
UNRESTRICTED FREE AGENTS: DE Adrian Clayborn; FB Derrick Coleman; WRs Taylor Gabriel, Andre Roberts and Nick Williams; LBs Jordan Tripp

RESTRICTED FREE AGENTS: FS Ricardo Allen; RBs Terron Ward and Terrence Magee; G Ben Garland.
NEEDS: Tight end is priority following release of Levine Toilolo. Veteran could be signed to challenge Austin Hooper. Team cut Derrick Shelby and could lose Clayborn, so more pass rush help at defensive end may be needed. If team loses Poe and Upshaw in free agency
Bryan Anger Jersey , another veteran defensive tackle may be signed. Guard is another priority that may be addressed high in draft or in free agency. General manager Thomas Dimitroff said at NFL scouting combine that Gabriel would not be re-signed. Kicker Matt Bryant avoided free agency by agreeing to three-year deal.
AVAILABLE SALARY CAP SPACE (approximately): $9 million
