Gillaspia, 27, is a former sixth-round pick of the Texans back in 2019. He signed a four-year, $2.6 million contract with the Texans but was later placed on injured reserve with a back injury.
Houston eventually cut him loose with a failed physical designation and he was picked up by the Giants for the 2021 season.
Seattle then brought him on board, playing him as both a fullback and linebacker.
In 2022, Gillaspia appeared in six games for the Seahawks and recorded six tackles.
