ESPN: Seahawks interested in free agent DT Johnathan Hankins

The Seahawks are interested in free agent defensive tackle Johnathan Hankins, according to a report by Brady Henderson at ESPN.

Hankins (6-foot-2, 320 pounds) would bring a ton of experience to Seattle’s interior defensive line rotation. Originally a second-round pick by the Giants back in 2013, he has appeared in 152 regular season games in his career, starting 134 of them. All together, he has totaled 403 tackles, 17.5 sacks, 50 quarterback hits and 39 tackles for a loss.

Hankins played the last season and a half for the Cowboys, where his position coach was Seattle’s new defensive coordinator Aden Durde.

While his grades have been on the decline for a while, Hankins has generally been a two-down defender in his career. If the Seahawks do sign him he would project as a backup behind starters Leonard Williams, Jarran Reed and Dre’Mont Jones.
