Seahawks Signing WR Phillip Dorsett

Josina Anderson of ESPN reports that the Seahawks are signing former Colts and Patriots WR Phillip Dorsett to a one-year contract on Tuesday.

Prior reports had linked Dorsett to the Jets, Seahawks, Chargers, 49ers and Raiders with a return to the Patriots still a possibility.

Dorsett, 27, is a former first-round pick by the Colts in the 2015 NFL Draft. The Patriots acquired him from the Colts in exchange for QB Jacoby Brissett.

Dorsett played out the final year of a four-year, $8.135 million rookie contract and was testing the open market as an unrestricted free agent for the first time in his NFL career last year when he re-signed with New England on a one-year deal. 

In 2019, Dorsett appeared in 14 games for the Patriots and caught 29 passes for 397 yards and five touchdowns. He also carried the ball three times for 21 yards. 

We had him included in our Top 100 Available 2020 Free Agents list.
