RENTON, Wash. – The Seattle Seahawks continue to stockpile linebackers, bringing back Dewey McDonald and signing free agent Terence Garvin.

The signings were listed on the NFL transaction report Monday. McDonald was an exclusive rights free agent who was a special teams standout last season for the Seahawks. McDonald appeared in a career-high 14 regular-season games and was second on the team in special teams tackles.

After spending his first three seasons with Pittsburgh, Garvin appeared in 16 games last season for Washington. He had 16 tackles.

Seattle has signed four linebackers in the past week, looking to add depth at the position behind starters K.J. Wright and Bobby Wagner.
