Seahawks loses linebacker David Hawthorne to the Saints after Hawthorne signs a 5-year contract with New Orleans. Terms of the contract were not disclosed. Last year Hawthorne put up 115 tackles, 2 sacks, 1 fumble recovery, and picked off 3 passes returning 1 for a touchdown. The 26 year old linebacker undrafted out of TCU will join newly signed Curtis Lofton who came over from Atlanta in the Saints linebacker corps who will most likely be losing Jonathan Vilma because of suspension, year left on contract and other reasons. Hawthorne led the Seahawks defense to be the ninth best defense in the league allowing 332.2 yards per game, and the team was 11th in pass defense with 219.9 pass yards per game allowed and was 15th in rush defense with 112.3 yards per game allowed.
