Multiple reports say the Seahawks have signed free agent linebacker Barkevious Mingo.

The former Colts linebacker started his career with the Browns. Cleveland made him a first round pick, sixth overall, in 2013. He also spent a season with the Patriots.

He had a career high five sacks in his rookie season. Last year, he collected two sacks with Indianapolis.

The durable LB has only missed two games in five seasons.

The Houston Chronicle's Aaron Wilson gives a nice break down of the contract.

So far, no confirmation from the Seahawks.

If you're wondering about his name, Wikipedia gives the backstory to his first name. His mom, Barbara, liked the name Kevious. So she added the first three letters of her name to it and came up with Barkevious.
