As the Seattle Seahawks prepare for a Saturday night game against the 2.5-point favored Kansas City Chiefs, they will also be checking out their newest member.

Edgerrin James is Seattle’s latest aging star running back, less than a year and half after Shaun Alexander was booted out of town.

The league’s leading active rusher signed a one-year contract with the Seahawks on Tuesday night. The team is hopeful he can help revive a rushing offense that has been generally quiet since 2006, when Alexander was the NFL MVP and Seattle was in its only Super Bowl.

The Chiefs have also added two new blockers leading up to this week's game.

Andy Alleman and Ikechuku Ndukwe were in uniform and sweating through Tuesday’s morning practice, just a day after the Chiefs sent Miami an undisclosed 2010 draft pick for them.

Todd Haley said he expects them both to compete for starting positions and to play Saturday against Seattle.
