Seahawks Target Low-Cost WR Tyquan Thornton

0:00On March 5th, the Seattle Seahawks had a stellar season and sit pretty with cap space heading into free agency. They're eyeing wide receiver options, especially if Rashid Shaheed bolts for a bigger role elsewhere. Instead of breaking the bank on him, they could turn to Kansas City Chief Speedster, Taikwan Thornton as a smart, low-cost alternative. Shaheed shown on special teams late last year and posted solid numbers, but his projected market value hits $14.1 million. That's steep for a guy not locked in as a top target. Meanwhile, Thornton comes in way cheaper at just $2.8 million. Thornton, two years younger, made waves despite limited snaps behind a stacked chief's depth chart. He averaged 23.1 yards per catch on 19 receptions for 438 yards and 3 touchdowns. Plus, he chipped in on special teams with 38 snaps and kick returns, totaling 475 yards. Fans and analysts see Thornton fitting right in, stretching the field and forcing defenses to respect his speed alongside Jackson-Smith and Jigba.
