The Facts: Weaver will sign a one-year, $1.417 million tender offer today, agent Harold C. Lewis said. "This is the next step for Leonard to spend what he hopes is the rest of his career with the Seattle Seahawks," Lewis said.
Diehards Line:After no other team showed a desire to give the Seahawks a second-round pick to sign Weaver, a restricted free agent, the fourth-year player decided to sign the team's tender offer, which was given at the beginning of free agency. ... Lewis said he did not get indications Weaver is being marginalized because the Seahawks signed free agent T.J. Duckett, a 254-pound running back. Lewis said he thinks the two will share the fullback position, with Duckett brought in as a short-yardage specialist.
