The Seahawks announced today that offensive lineman J.R. Sweezy signed a one-day contract with the team, allowing him to retire in Seattle as a Seahawk.

Sweezy was drafted in 2012 as a defensive lineman, but the Hawks switched him to the other side of the ball where he found an eight-year career in the NFL.

He started in 61 games in five seasons with Seattle, and was a member of the Super Bowl XLVIII squad.
