#Seahawks have agreed to a deal with OT Cedric Ogbuehi, source says. Former #Bengals first-round pick was with the #Jaguars last year.

The Seattle Seahawks indicated they hoped to keep some continuity along their offensive line heading into 2020. That appears to be out the window, however, after the team signed their third new offensive lineman in the last 24 hours, agreeing to terms with former Jacksonville tackle Cedric Ogbuehi, according to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo.
Ogbuehi joins tackle Brandon Shell and center/guard B.J. Finney as newcomers to Seattle’s offensive line, a group that is almost certainly moving on from Germain Ifedi and Mike Iupati, and already lost George Fant to the Jets.
Ogbuehi has yet to live up to his billing as a first round pick by the Browns in 2015. He has appeared in 49 games over the last five seasons, including 25 starts – none in the past two years.
He is likely on hand as added depth at the two tackle spots, and could compete with Shell to start at right tackle. Ogbuehi also has some experience in the sixth lineman/tight end role, so perhaps Seattle views him as a replacement for Fant in that role.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
