Seahawks re-signed K Steven Hauschka.

Hauschka, 28 in June, made 24-of-27 field goals last season, and he has been with the Seahawks for the past two years after bouncing around with three teams in three years. He doesn't have a huge leg, as he's just 4-of-10 from 50-plus yards out in his career. Hauschka also handles kickoff duties for Seattle.

710 ESPN considers free agent K Steven Hauschka the Seahawks' most likely candidate for the franchise tag.

Hauschka was 23-of-23 from inside 50 yards last season. Franchising him would cost $2.926 million, something the financially comfortable Seahawks can certainly live with. However, Hauschka went just 1-of-4 from 50-plus yards out last season and is 4-of-10 from that distance in his career. Perhaps coach Pete Carroll will want to bring in a bigger leg.

Coach Pete Carroll clarified that K Steven Hauschka's injury is to his calf, not his ankle.

"You could see him limping out there," Carroll said. "But he made good kicks out there when we needed him." Punter Jon Ryan took over kickoff duties, and Hauschka was limited to field goals under 50 yards. Don't be surprised if the Seahawks bring in another kicker this week.
