RENTON, Wash. (AP) — The Seattle Seahawks have agreed to terms with free agent kicker Jeff Reed.

Undrafted free agent kicker Wes Byrum tweeted that Seattle had released him to make room on the roster for Reed.
The Seahawks confirmed the release of Byrum along with defensive tackle Ladi Ajiboye, guard Michael Huey, quarterback Zac Lee and linebacker Blake Sorensen.
The team also announced the signings of linebacker Michael Johnson and running back Chase Reynolds.
