Originally Published 1 year ago — by NBC Sports

The Seattle Seahawks have agreed to terms with receiver Laviska Shenault, who may contribute in the return game after previously serving as a kick returner for the Panthers, averaging 27.7 yards per return on nine attempts. With the new kick return rule passing, Shenault's value may increase with Seattle, as he looks to make an impact after catching 121 passes for 1,219 yards with five touchdowns in his first two seasons but seeing reduced production in the last two years with Carolina.

Originally Published 1 year ago — by CBS Sports

Cordarrelle Patterson has signed a two-year, $6 million contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers following new NFL rule changes for kickoffs. The changes are expected to increase the number of returns and reduce injuries. Patterson, a former All-Pro return man, is known for making big plays and can also contribute as a running back and wide receiver. His addition provides the Steelers with valuable pass-catching help after trading Diontae Johnson earlier in the offseason.
