The Canadian Football League's 2009 leader in sacks won't be bringing his pass rush to New England as defensive end Ricky Foley, formerly of the BC Lions, has agreed to join the Seattle Seahawks, according to Sporting News.
Foley, who led the CFL with 12 sacks a season ago, is scheduled to become a free agent on Feb. 15. The 6-foot-2, 245-pounder was the fourth overall selection in the 2006 CFL draft and was drawing interest from a handful of NFL teams, including the Patriots.
Foley had 51 tackles to go with his 12 sacks last season and is following in the footsteps of former Lions teammate Cameron Wake, who joined the Miami Dolphins last season and tallied 5.5 sacks in his first year in the NFL.
