Veteran defensive tackle Sammie Lee Hill will visit with the Seattle Seahawks today, according to an NFL Network report.
Hill (6-foot-4, 328 pounds) spent the last three seasons with the Tennessee Titans, where he started 30 games. Originally a fourth-round pick in 2009, Hill played his first four years with the Detroit Lions.
In 2015, Hill appeared in 10 games and played 17.8 percent of the Titans' defensive snaps. He missed the first six games of the season with an MCL injury.
The Seahawks appear to be exploring all of their options to replace nose tackle Brandon Mebane, who left to sign with the San Diego Chargers in free agency. They've been linked to a number of defensive linemen, including Cam Thomas, Sealver Siliga and Brandon Thompson.
The profile they're looking for is a relatively inexpensive run-stuffer who can play alongside Ahtyba Rubin on early downs.
Hill seems to fit the description and has more experience than some of the other players the Seahawks have brought in.
