Looking to replenish depth in the secondary after losing Riq Woolen and Coby Bryant in free agency, the Seattle Seahawks made their second cornerback signing in as many days on Saturday, bringing a former first round pick into the fold.

According to Mike Dugar of The Athletic, the Seahawks have agreed to terms with veteran cornerback Noah Igbinoghene on a one-year contract. Other terms of the deal have yet to be disclosed.

Once a highly touted prospect coming out of Auburn, Igbinoghene landed with the Dolphins as the 30th overall selection in the 2020 NFL Draft, breaking into the league at just 20 years old. He appeared in 16 games as a rookie with a pair of starts for Miami, struggling in his first action against NFL talent, allowing 18 yards per reception and three touchdowns with quarterbacks posting a 133.9 passer rating when targeting him in coverage.
