Former Carolina Panthers tight end Ed Dickson signed with the Seattle Seahawks on Friday.
Terms weren't announced but it is a three-year contract that is worth up to $14 million, a source told ESPN's Josina Anderson. Year 1 of the deal is "fully guaranteed," the source said.
Dickson fills a need for the Seahawks, who lost tight end Jimmy Graham in free agency to the Green Bay Packers.
Dickson, 30, was used primarily as a blocker in two-tight end sets during his first three seasons with the Panthers, but that changed in 2017 after three-time Pro Bowl selection Greg Olsen suffered a broken foot in Week 2 and missed nine games.
Dickson finished the season with 30 receptions for 437 yards and a touchdown, including a career-best 175 yards on five catches in a Week 5 win against the Detroit Lions. In his first three seasons with the Panthers, he totaled 37 catches for 370 yards and 4 touchdowns.
He came to Carolina on a one-year deal in 2014 after four seasons with the Baltimore Ravens. He then was signed to a three-year, $6.8 million extension before the Panthers' Super Bowl run in 2015.
