The Seattle Seahawks have agreed to a one-year deal with cornerback Antonie Winfield.

The deal is worth $3 million, according to a source.

"It was a very tough decision for me because of the relationships that I have in Minnesota," Winfield said. "I've been there nine years. I've had some really great coaches, teammates and fans there. I'm very grateful to the Vikings organization for my experience.

"I'm definitely excited about the opportunity to play in Seattle. They're a great football team. Those guys did an excellent job last season. They're young, athletic and energetic. I'm excited to play with Richard (Sherman), Brandon (Browner), Kam (Chancellor) and Earl (Thomas) because they're some of the most talented players on defense in the NFL right now."

Alabama Hosting NFL Coaches Learning To Stop Zone-Read

Jun 9, 2014 5:13 PM

Nick Saban has hosted several NFL coaches this offseason as defenses learn how to best stop the zone-read offense.

The San Francisco 49ers, Washington Redskins and Seattle Seahawks all used elements of the zone-read last season.

Saban said the NFL is a pass rush-oriented league and that the zone-read sets up to exploit overpursuing defenses.

Saban also said that the 49ers have run the zone-read the best because of how they vary their looks so frequently.
