K.J. Wright may have ‘non-playing role’ if he returns to Seahawks

The Seahawks have brought back a couple of familiar faces on defense this offseason, re-signing former defensive tackle Quinton Jefferson as well as slot cornerback Justin Coleman. One other former Seattle defender who might see his way back into the organization this year is linebacker K.J. Wright, who says he wants to come back to be with his family.

Yesterday, general manager John Schneider was a guest on ESPN 710 AM and said both he and coach Pete Carroll have spoken with Wright. However, he says if Wright comes back it would probably be in some sort of “non-playing” role.

Asked about KJ Wright, Schneider says "both Pete and I have met with him this offseason. He's trying to figure some things out, too, as we are. But probably be in some sort of non-playing role.''
