The Seattle Seahawks will host linebacker Craig Robertson on a free-agent visit, a league source confirmed.
The Cleveland Plain Dealer first reported the team's interest.
Robertson (6-foot-1, 234 pounds) started 37 games the past four seasons as an inside linebacker for the Cleveland Browns. He had 59 tackles, five passes defended, one interception and one forced fumble last year.
So how would Robertson fit in with the Seahawks? He'd be an experienced veteran behind Bobby Wagner and K.J. Wright. And with Bruce Irvin gone, the Seahawks could look to get all three linebackers on the field at the same time in their base look. They could then replace one with a pass-rusher when they move to nickel.
Robertson would also be a factor on special teams, where he had nine tackles in coverage last season.
Bottom line: He'd be a nice depth option who could compete for regular playing time.
The Seahawks have yet to sign a free agent from another team.
