Robert Gallery will reportedly sign with the Seattle Seahawks on Friday, the first day free agents can make it official and ink deals. The move has been expected -- Seattle needs veteran depth on the offensive line and Gallery's former offensive line coach, Tom Cable, joined the Seahawks staff this offseason. The reported signing is the second major deal for the Seahawks in the last two days, with Tarvaris Jackson becoming the first free agent Seattle locked up on Tuesday.
Seattle Times' Seahawks reporter Danny O'Neil confirmed the move on Wednesday morning.
CONFIRMED: #Seahawks have an agreement with Robert Gallery.
Gallery should make an immediate impact for the Seahawks, and has a head-start on the offensive line thanks to his relationship with Cable. He would seem to be a good fit for Seattle, adding a veteran presence to a line that's looking to come together and learn a new system.
