Kevin Williams worked out for the Seattle Seahawks on Monday.

Williams played 11 seasons for the Minnesota Vikings, recording 463 tackles and 60 sacks.

Williams played 746 snaps for Minnesota a season ago at defensive tackle, according to Pro Football Focus data.

Earl Thomas has agreed to a four-year, $40 million extension with the Seattle Seahawks.

Thomas' deal makes him the highest paid defensive back on a true multi-year deal.

Thomas will become a free agent when he's 29 if this deal is played out until the end.

Thomas was due $4.725 million in the final year of his old deal.

Russell Wilson has filed for divorce after two years of marriage.

Wilson and his wife Ashton were married in January 2012, just three months before Wilson was selected in the third round of the NFL Draft.

"I have made the difficult decision to file for divorce," Wilson said in a statement released by the Seattle Seahawks. "Clearly, decisions like these don't come easy. Ashton and I respectfully ask for prayers, understanding and privacy during this difficult time. Moving forward, I will have no further comment on this matter."

Scot McCloughan has left the Seattle Seahawks to attend to a personal matter.

McCloughan was the Seahawks' senior personnel executive and is credited for having a big role in finding many of the key players of their core.

McCloughan was general manager John Schneider's right-hand man. McCloughan led Seattle's scouting group.

McCloughan had a similar role with the San Francisco 49ers, staring in 2006, before being named GM in 2008. He helped draft top players that include running back Frank Gore, linebacker Patrick Willis and tight end Vernon Davis.

Richard Sherman believes the best way for the Seattle Seahawks to show their appreciation for him is in the form of a new contract.

"Whatever they feel I am due. I will take it as respect," Sherman told NFL Network. "It's all about respect in this game and the only way people show respect is the dollars. We'll see what happens."

Contract negotiations between the Seahawks and the Pro Bowl cornerback are ongoing, but the sides still have a ways to go.

Sherman is entering the final year of his rookie contract and is scheduled to make $1.4 million this season. 

The 2014 NFL schedule will begin with the Green Bay Packers playing at the Seattle Seahawks in a Thursday night game in Week 1.

The Sunday night game in Week 1 will feature the Indianapolis Colts at the Denver Broncos.

The Seahawks will play at the San Francisco 49ers in the Week 13/Thanksgiving night game. The two teams meet again in Week 15 on Dec. 14.

Russell Wilson is confident in the talent of Terrelle Pryor, who was acquired by the Seattle Seahawks this week via trade.

Wilson called Pryor a "great competitor" who he looks forward to working with in 2014.

"I think the thing about our quarterback room is that we want to be the hardest-working guys in the room, and the hardest-working guys in the building," Wilson said on SiriusXM NFL Radio on Wednesday. "That's the way we look at it. I know that Terrelle will bring that to the table. We're looking forward to that. I'm looking forward to just being around him and getting out there. I know that our locker room definitely became more athletic with him. He can do a lot of great things."

Pryor will start out at a quarterback and compete for the No. 3 job behind Wilson and Tarvaris Jackson.

The Seattle Seahawks and Richard Sherman have made progress on a contract extension.

The deal is expected to ultimately be worth more than $13 million per season, which would make Sherman the best paid cornerback in the NFL.

Sherman has become one of the NFL's best cover cornerbacks since being drafted out of Stanford.

Both sides are hopeful of a deal being completed before the NFL Draft.

The Seattle Seahawks have acquired Terrelle Pryor from the Oakland Raiders for a 7th round pick in the 2014 NFL Draft.

The 6-foot-4, 235-pound Pryor is scheduled to make $705,000 in 2014.

The Raiders were expected to release Pryor on Tuesday if a deal wasn't worked out. 

The San Francisco 49ers were also interested in Pryor.

Sidney Rice has reached agreement on a one-year deal with the Seattle Seahawks.

Rice spent Wednesday in New Jersey visiting with the New York Jets.

Rice caught 15 passes for 231 yards and three touchdowns in eight games last season.
