CWU receiver signed

Justin Helwege, a wide receiver from Central Washington University who had a tryout during the Seahawks’ rookie minicamp, was signed today.

To clear a spot on the 90-man roster, tackle Andrew Mitchell was released. He had been signed last week.

The 6-foot-6, 217-pound Helwege led the Wildcats with 51 receptions for 717 yards and eight touchdowns last season. He also played at Eastlake High School in Sammamish.
