The Seahawks made a pair of signings ahead of the 2016 draft, adding free agent defensive end Tavaris Barnes and tight end Brandon Williams.

Barnes, who is listed as 6-foot-3, 275 pounds, signed with New Orleans last year as an undrafted rookie out of Clemson and made the 53-man roster out of training camp. Barnes, 24, appeared in 12 games with the Saints, totaling five tackles. He was waived by New Orleans earlier this week.
