The Seattle Seahawks have re-signed linebackers Leroy Hill and Matt McCoy.

Both players were signed to one-year deals. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Hill has been with the Seahawks for the past seven seasons after being drafted by the team in 2005 out of Clemson. He started all 16 games last season and had 89 tackles.

McCoy has spent the last two seasons with the Seahawks, where he has mainly been used as a special teamer. He was a second-round selection by the Philadelphia Eagles in 2005 and has played for four teams in his seven seasons.
