Seattle Seahawks Re-sign Veteran DT Johnathan Hankins for 13th NFL Season

The Chicago Bears signed undrafted rookie running back Deion Hankins to strengthen their backfield, bringing a power running style with nearly 2,900 college rushing yards and 25 touchdowns. Hankins faces stiff competition during the Bears' upcoming rookie minicamp and voluntary offseason practices, which will influence whether the team pursues veteran running backs. Meanwhile, the Seattle Seahawks re-signed veteran nose tackle Johnathan Hankins for his 13th NFL season, adding experienced depth alongside recently acquired DeMarcus Lawrence and Jarran Reed on their defensive line. Hankins, who played all 17 games last season for Seattle, expressed comfort with the team and is expected to contribute as part of a strong defensive front with multiple key veterans and promising rookies. The Seahawks' defensive line now boasts nearly 900 pounds of veteran presence, a strategic move to bolster their interior defense. Both teams are actively managing roster decisions in the offseason to enhance their respective units with a blend of youth and experience.
