Patrick Kerney isn't going to consider retirement just yet. There were rumors that Kerney could call it quits after 11 seasons. The last two campaigns have been marred by injuries after he recorded a career-high 14.5 sacks in 2007. "I've got a couple good ones left in me," Kerney said in a text message to NFL.com. "Gonna be in sick shape." Kerney said his surgically repaired elbow has healed and that he has started offseason workouts.

The Seahawks have signed punter Tom Malone, according to the player's agent. Malone attended USC beginning in 2002, punting for Pete Carroll, who is now the Seahawks coach.

The Seahawks have signed CFL sack leader Rick Foley to a contract. Foley turned down offers from the Eagles and Rams to sign with Seattle. "New team, new coach, new defense and new position in their defense," Foley told The Province. "Nobody has an advantage going into camp." Foley was signed by the Ravens in 2006 but never got into a game.

New Seahawks offensive coordinator Jeremy Bates says quarterback Matt Hasselbeck "has been incredible" learning his new system. Bates added that running backs Julius Jones and Justin Forsett will fit Seattle's new offense well. Hasselbeck has one year left on his contract and Bates brings the third offense the quarterback has had to learn in the last 14 months. "He's a heck of a player," Bates said. "We're very fortunate to be able to walk into an organization with Matt Hasselbeck being the leader."

Seahawks left tackle Walter Jones used his Twitter account to announce that he plans to retire. Jones previously discussed retirement on his account, but later said he was joking. He said that he had decided, "it is time for me to retire from football."
