Seahawks' Defense: Urgent Need for Free Agent Signings

0:00It's March 19th for the NFL. Let's get into it. The Seattle Seahawks are coming off a Super Bowl win just two months ago, with a solid roster overall. But free agency hit their defense hard, leaving big gaps at past rush and cornerback that they need to fill soon. Minebacker Boyet Mayfe left for a three-year $40 million deal with the Cincinnati Bengals. That creates urgency, especially since the Marcus Lawrence turns 34 in April and cannot anchor the position forever. The secondary took even bigger losses, with Ric Woolen signing a one-year $12 million contract with the Philadelphia Eagles and Colby Bryan, heading to the Chicago Bears. Both were key to last season's championship run. Seattle patched things up by resigning Josh Job as their number two corner and adding Noah Igbenagine, a former first-round pick. Still, they lacked clear options for the number three spot and overall depth. Analysts suggest mixing draft picks for youth with veteran signings like, trade-daviest white or a soul Douglas.
