Seahawks agreed to terms with DT Junior Siavii on a one-year contract.
The 32-year-old's 2010 season ended with a spinal cord injury. Siavii was a rotational player before that, struggling in run defense. He's never been a pass rusher, so this has to be a familiarity re-signing more than anything else. Thu, Jul 28, 2011 11:54:00 PM

Junior Siavii - DL - Seahawks

Seahawks claimed DT Junior Siavii off waivers from the Cowboys.

The 6-foot-5, 320-pound Siavii will work in a rotation at nose tackle behind Colin Cole once he gets up to speed in Pete Carroll's 4-3 defense. Siavii has been a 3-4 nose tackle the past few seasons for Jerry Jones' club.

Cowboys re-signed restricted free agent DT Junior Siavii to a one-year, $1.226 million contract.

Cowboys extended an original draft-pick tender to restricted free agent DT Junior Siavii.

Junior Siavii - DL - Seahawks

The Cowboys are counting on former second-round bust Junior Siavii to serve as Jay Ratliff's backup at nose tackle.

Siavii has the size (6'5/320 pounds) but has never lived up to expectations. There was no room for him on the roster last year with Tank Johnson around, but he'll be expected to rotate in at nose tackle this season.

Junior Siavii - DL - Seahawks

Cowboys signed DT Junior Siavii to a reserve/future contract.

Siavii was a huge bust as a second-round pick by the Chiefs in 2004. The 6'5/330-pound monstrosity will get another chance in Dallas' 3-4 scheme.

Former Chiefs DT Junior Siavii met with the Rams Tuesday.

He didn't sign a contract. The 2004 second-round pick was out of the NFL last year. This does show St. Louis isn't satisfied with its condition at nose tackle.

Junior Siavii - DL - Seahawks

Chiefs DT Junior Siavii is unlikely to make the team.

The mountainous former Oregon Duck, a second-round pick in 2004, is yet another defensive failure from GM Carl Peterson's tenure. The Ravens can only hope Siavii's replacement at school, Haloti Ngata, works out better.

As the story goes, he assaulted a doorman last August 14 at a Minneapolis hotel. Siavii, 27, pleaded guilty to a charge of causing fifth-degree "assault fear." The 6-5/336-pounder proceeded to cause "assault fear" in the hearts of running backs on 6 tackles in 2005.

Junior Siavii - DL - Seahawks

The Chiefs signed second round pick DT Junior Siavii to a six-year contract.

The enormous defensive tackle was considered a reach by many draftniks. The 6'5, 336 pound native of America Samoa is already 25 years old, so could make an impact in Kansas City's run defense soon.
