Dec 26, 2024; Chicago, Illinois, USA; Seattle Seahawks defensive tackle Johnathan Hankins (97) warms up before a game against the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field. Mandatory Credit: Talia Sprague-Imagn Images The Seattle Seahawks re-signed veteran defensive tackle Johnathan Hankins to a one-year contract on Wednesday.
Hankins, 33, played in all 17 games with eight starts and made 30 tackles, one sack, five tackles for loss and one interception in his first season in Seattle in 2024.
“Being here last year, the success we had, the group we had defensively, and now we have D-Law (DeMarcus Lawrence) here, and some more key guys — we drafted a D-tackle — I just feel comfortable here,” Hankins said. “I like it here. Everything made sense. To be able to still be playing in Year 13, and obviously the organization wanted me back, so it just made sense.”
In addition to adding four-time Pro Bowler Lawrence, the Seahawks’ defensive linemen include Leonard Williams, Jarran Reed and Byron Murphy II.
“This guy is a heck of a player,” Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald said recently of Hankins. “We’re excited to get him back. I wouldn’t say it’s a major void because we have guys that can play in the A gap, but, yeah, when you watch tape last year, he played some pretty dang good football for us. Excited to get him back.”
Hankins has 433 career tackles with 18.5 sacks, 44 tackles for loss, 52 quarterback hits, three forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries and one interception in 169 games (142 starts) for the New York Giants (2013-16), Indianapolis Colts (2017), Oakland/Las Vegas Raiders (2018-22), Dallas Cowboys (2022-23) and Seahawks.
The Giants selected Hankins in the second round of the 2013 NFL Draft out of Ohio State.

<!--> Gabe Taylor, the younger brother of late Washington safety Sean Taylor, is attending Commanders rookie camp on a tryout.The Commanders announced their camp roster on Friday.Taylor, a defensive back who played five seasons at Rice, went undrafted last month. He was impressive at the Owls' pro day last month, running 40-yard dash times between 4.38 and 4.44 seconds. The agency that represents him said Taylor picked Washington after receiving multiple offers because he grew up wanting to play for the team."I had to take a moment, take a deep breath. I just looked at the helmet," Taylor said, per ESPN. "I've been watching the Washington Commanders all my life. I could have gone somewhere else, but I chose here for a reason. Hopefully I get to put it on again and continue forward with them."Sean Taylor died in November […]

The feat of endurance that is following the 2025 Colorado Rockies reached its lowest point yet on Saturday.The Rockies — owners of the worst record in MLB, the second-worst offense in MLB (by runs scored), the worst pitching staff in MLB (by ERA), the worst run differential in MLB and, let's face it, the worst vibes in MLB — lost 21-0 to the San Diego Padres in a massacre at home.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementTheir record is now 6-33, the worst 39-game start to a season in National League history and tied with the 1988 Baltimore Orioles for MLB's worst of the modern era (since 1900).

Payton Pritchard steps up for Celtics in Game 3 win vs. Knicks, and it goes far beyond his 3-point shooting
Imagn Images NEW YORK -- Boston Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla said Saturday that the days leading up to Game 3 of their first-round series against the New York Knicks were not difficult whatsoever. Yes, the Celtics were down 2-0 after blowing two 20-point leads at home, but "this is the fun part," Mazzulla said. "You don't get into the journey for it to be easy. It's been dark, but in a good way."In this situation, "you just gotta tap into your darkness, and that's it," Mazzulla said.Of course Mazzulla, who has shown the Celtics clips of hyenas and killer whales hunting their prey, would say that. To hear guard Payton Pritchard, though, Boston kept it simple after Game 2. Light, even."We watched areas where we could clean up a little bit, but it was really just being more confident and […]
