According to the Detroit Free Press, the Seahawks have expressed formal interest in free agent guard Chester Pitts .

Pitts conveyed the interest in his services, during an interview with Sirius NFL Radio, also listing the Lions, Dolphins, and Bengals as his other suitors. Pitts has extensive experience, starting 114 consecutive games before falling victim to a knee injury last season.

He has also expressed his desire to return to the Houston Texans, the team he has played for his entire career, but is keeping his options open.

The Seahawks have also met with former Broncos guard Ben Hamilton this offseason as well, indicating they want to add at least one starter on the open market to aid arguably the league’s worst blocking unit.

Former Indianapolis guard Ryan Lilja would seem to be a perfect fit in the zone blocking scheme used by Seattle as well, and is currently the top player available at his position.
