Mays will work out for the Seahawks on Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Mays hasn't suited up in an NFL game since the 2015 season with the Raiders. The 31-year-old safety has connections to the Seahawks as he played for head coach Pete Carroll at the University of Southern California before being a second-round pick of the 2010 NFL Draft. The Seahawks have their starting safeties -- Bradley McDougald and Tedric Thompson -- so Mays would serve in a reserve role with special teams duties if he was offered a contract.

2010
Mays was limited to just eight games last season due to a shoulder injury and still hasn't nabbed an interception in a four-year career that includes 89 tackles (64 solo). Nonetheless, Mays figures to be involved in the Bengals' safety rotation this season, although competition from new signing Daniel Manning could cost him some snaps.
Mays is projected to start at strong safety for Cincinnati this season, but likely will not have much fantasy value, since his impact thus far in the league has been minimal.
The disappointing Mays will be a backup at strong safety for the Bengals.
Mays displayed unexpectedly strong coverage skills during offseason workouts, but still spent most of his time training with the third-string defense before moving up to the second-team by the end of workouts. He won't push Michael Lewis for his starting job this season, but expect Mays to be a starter in 2011.
