Marcel Reece is headed back to the Pacific Northwest.
After spending his final two college seasons at the University of Washington, the former Raiders fullback will reportedly sign a deal with the Seattle Seahawks.
News of the deal was first reported by ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Reece, a three-time Pro Bowler while in Oakland, was cut by the Raiders at the end of September.
The 31-year-old Reece ran into trouble at the end of the 2015 season when he suspended four games for violating the NFL policy on performance enhancing drugs. The penalty cost him the final game of the 2015 season and the first three games of the 2016 season.
Since being cut by the Raiders, Reece has reportedly worked out for several teams, including the Patriots, Jets and Bengals. According to the ESPN report, Reece worked out for the Seahawks on Friday.
