Seahawks Target Cashius Howell in Draft

0:00It's April 22nd, NFL news today starts now, AI powered and always on. Seattle Seahawks are gearing up for the 2026 NFL draft, and they're zeroing in on Texas A&M edge rusher Cassius Howe. He just wrapped a top 30 visit at their facility, and both sides are feeling the vibe. Howe will straight up campaigning to join them, saying on the up and atom show he'd love to rock that Seahawks jersey. The team's edge rush spot is hurting after losing boy and mafe, and it could get worse if DeMarcus Lawrence retires, or Ushen and Noosu bounces as a free. Agend. They're looking for a raw talent like Howe to mold into a star, starting him off slow and building him up for a big roll down the line. Howe's no slouch on the field, even if his size isn't elite. Over four seasons, he's racked up 121 tackles, 35.5 for loss, 27 sacks, and earned SEC defensive player. Of the year honors this year, with 11.5 sacks alone.

1:01Draft experts see him as a first round guy, but with all the offensive linemen, wide receivers, and corners in this class, he might slide into round. 2. That lines up perfect for Seattle at pick 32. At the Seahawks trade back for extra picks, they could snag Howe right there and lock in their past rush future before the draft frenzy hits full.
