The Seahawks added two familiar longtime NFL veterans over the last week with the signings of defensive tackle Tony McDaniel and fullback Will Tukuafu.

McDaniel served as one of the Seattle's anchors against the run for the Super Bowl XLVIII-winning squad, while both were members of the team that came up just short of another championship in Super Bowl XLIX.

Now, the 31-year-old McDaniel and the 32-year-old Tukuafu will compete with players nearly a decade younger than themselves for a roster spot on another Seahawks team with Super Bowl aspirations.
