The Seahawks signed former Arizona Cardinals receiver Jaron Brown Saturday, a speedy target who averaged 15.4 yards per catch last season.
The 6-foot-2, 205 pound Brown caught 31 passes for 477 yards and four touchdowns last season, all career highs, while starting eight of 16 games. Brown went undrafted out of Clemson in 2013, where, he reportedly ran a 4.29-second 40-yard dash at his pro day. In five seasons with the Cardinals, Brown has 86 catches for 1,177 yards and nine touchdowns.
The 28-year-old Brown is the second receiver the Seahawks have added since the start of the new league year, having also acquired Marcus Johnson from the Eagles as part of the trade that sent Michael Bennett to Philadelphia.
