SEATTLE — Veteran cornerback Antoine Winfield has agreed in principle to a one-year deal with the Seattle Seahawks, ESPN’s Josina Anderson reported Friday.
“It was a very tough decision for me because of the relationships that I have in Minnesota,” Winfield told Anderson, according to espn.com. “I’ve been there nine years. I’ve had some really great coaches, teammates and fans there. I’m very grateful to the Vikings organization for my experience.
ESPN said Winfield could be the slot corner for the Seahawks with starters Sherman and Browner playing outside. Sherman and Browner combined for 11 interceptions last season.
