Ex-Texans LB Joins Seahawks
âThe #Seahawks have signed former Bears, Texans linebacker Power Echols,â Emerald City Spectrumâs Corbin K. Smith reported on X on August 7. âThey released linebacker Joseph Vaughn in a corresponding move.â
Echols, 23, was a standout at LSU before turning pro.
Echols signed with Houston in December, but the Texans cut ties with the 5-foot-11 LB just over one month later.
He played in all three of the Bearsâ preseason contests last year, though. Echols finished the exhibition slate with just 2 total tackles, but he received high marks across the board from Pro Football Focus for his efforts.
