It appears the Seahawks have re-signed another one of their unrestricted free agents as punter Jon Ryan tweeted Friday that he’s remaining in Seattle on a four-year deal.

“Found out this morning that I will have the honor of playing in front of the greatest fans in the world for 4 more years,” Ryan wrote on Twitter.

No figures have been reported. The deal that Ryan signed in 2010 averaged a little over $1.5 million.

Ryan, 34, has been with Seattle since 2008. He became the Seahawks’ longest-tenured player earlier this week when defensive tackle Brandon Mebane left in free agency after nine seasons in Seattle.

Ryan becomes the fourth unrestricted free agent Seattle has re-signed following defensive tackle Ahtyba Rubin, cornerback Jeremy Lane and wide receiver Jermaine Kearse.
