Got the following information from Twitter:
Darren Fells was an all-state TE in HS at Fullerton in SoCal, you can be sure Pete Carroll is very familiar with his athletic history. Fells turns 27 in April, is 6-7 255lbs, former Power Forward in Europe, was born in the USA.

It is interesting, but the length of contract is fairly meaningless, since it's unlikely to contain guarantees over that time frame. Just means he's locked into us until we decide otherwise .
Not complaining though, I'll take any actual Seahawks news this time of the year that isn't bad news

Nice, will this be another Pro-bowler Pete and John find and pull off the scrap pile?

Daniel Fells is only 6'4 surprisingly. His younger brother got all the height.

A rugged competitor and a talented scorer. Superb low post moves and can score from wing or low-post. He does possess 3-pt range and is a strong rebounder. A very skilled big man he is quite fundamentally sound in all areas. Good mechanics on his shot allow him to shoot with range and also provide solid numbers at the free throw line. Crashed the offensive boards hard and also is an excellent weak side shot blocker. He also has worked hard and is now a solid ball handler and can move out and play some minutes on the perimeter. Defends both the PF and C spots effectively. Great physical body let's him bang around in the low blocks while still being quick enough to blow by most post players.
he had football offers to play tight end at Arizona and Wyoming. Article Link

Always wanted a good forward on the Hawks, and finally someone listened.

I like it. These are the types of signings that Pete and John are known for.

I think Schneider screwed up when Wilson asked him for the big TE who used to play basketball.
