SEATTLE -- Free-agent cornerback Pierre Desir has agreed to a deal with the Seattle Seahawks, according to his agency.
EnterSports Management tweeted Wednesday that the deal is for one year.
Desir, who is 30, has started 44 games over seven NFL seasons.
The Seahawks are familiar with Desir, who has the size and length (6-1, 192 pounds) that coach Pete Carroll prefers in outside cornerbacks. Desir spent part of the 2016 season on their practice squad and was with Seattle the next offseason before being waived during roster cutdowns. He landed with the Indianapolis Colts, who gave him a three-year, $22.5 million extension in March 2019 but released him a year later.
The New York Jets then signed Desir to a one-year, $4 million deal with the expectation that he would be their No. 1 cornerback, but they released him in November after benching him twice. He finished the season with the Baltimore Ravens.
Desir had three interceptions -- including a pick-six -- in nine games for the Jets. He has eight career interceptions and 42 passes defended in 73 games since entering the league as a fourth-round pick by the Cleveland Browns in 2014 out of Division II Lindenwood.
The Seahawks signed former San Francisco 49ers cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon last month after losing Shaquill Griffin in free agency. They also lost Quinton Dunbar after attempting to re-sign him. Seattle's other options at outside cornerback include D.J. Reed, Tre Flowers and Damarious Randall.
The Seahawks re-signed Randall earlier this month and said they plan to move him from safety to cornerback, where he played earlier in his career.
