Jamie Sharper, the former Houston Texans linebacker whose services are being sought by at least eight teams, is scheduled to visit with the Seahawks in Kirkland tomorrow.

Sharper, released by Houston last week for salary-cap purposes, is still believed a longshot to sign with the Seahawks. That is in large part because of his unfamiliarity with the Seattle front office and coaching staff, but Sharper will meet many of those people tomorrow.

He indicated last weekend that he felt he should see what was out there in free agency, hence the decision to visit the Seahawks.

Sharper and his agent would like to reach a decision as to where the 30-year-old will sign before the end of the week. Sharper has started 127 of the past 128 games and has not missed a regular-season game in eight seasons with the Baltimore Ravens and Houston. He has 100 or more tackles in four consecutive seasons.

The Cleveland Browns, Jacksonville Jaguars and Cincinnati Bengals are among the other interested teams.

The Seahawks would likely have to free up salary-cap space by restructuring contracts in order to sign Sharper.

Notes

• Seahawks CB Bobby Taylor starts a business education workshop today at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. Taylor is among 66 NFL players enrolled in three-day workshops this week at Wharton and Harvard. The workshops are set up by the league and union to help players prepare for careers after football. Players are reimbursed for their tuition by the NFL.

• Defensive end Brandon Mitchell is expected to sign with the Atlanta Falcons. Seattle did not express interest in re-signing the eight-year veteran, who played the past three seasons with the Seahawks.
