The Facts: The Seahawks announced Thursday they signed Walsh, the ex-Minnesota Vikings kicker.

Diehards Line: After a stellar start to his career in 2012, Walsh struggled the past two regular seasons, missing a combined nine field goal attempts and eight extra points. Walsh missed four field goals and four extra points in 2016 before being cut in mid-November. The signing could signal the end of Steven Hauschka's six-year run in Seattle -- the kicker is set to be a free agent. Hauschka was scattershot in 2016, missing four field goal attempts and six extra points. The 31-year-old has struggled since the NFL moved the extra point back, missing 11 total PATs the past two years (including playoffs).
