The Seahawks are in need of a returner after Tyler Lockett suffered a broken leg in Week 16. Hester, who has been named first-team All-Pro three times, was cut in December by the Baltimore Ravens after appearing in 12 games.

Hester, who is the NFL’s all-time leader in return touchdowns, averaged 24.5 yards per kick return and 7.2 per punt return this season. The 34-year-old has 14 career punt returns for touchdowns and five kickoffs that he has taken back for scores.
