According to 710 ESPN Seattle's Gee Scott, the organization has offered Mebane a contract. However, three other teams are in pursuit of his services, which could be why the two sides have not come to terms on an agreement yet. Scott did not disclose which teams were pursuing the free agent.

The nine-year veteran turned in a solid 2015 with 24 tackles and 1.5 sacks. Pro Football Focus rated him as the 70th best interior defensive lineman in football with a a 71.4 rating. That rating is just above backup level and below average for a starter. Mebane started 15 games in 2015 although his total number of snaps especially on pass plays were limited.

He's still effective in a limited role which is why the Seahawks want him back. Now, the ball is in his court on if he'll return.
