Throughout the Pete Carroll and John Schneider era, regardless of where the Seahawks’ pressing needs have been in a given offseason, they’ve continuously added to the defensive line. It’s perhaps the group they’ve kept the freshest year-in and year-out, and that trend should continue in the coming months.
Seattle can feel great about the core they have inside, with Poona Ford and Jarran Reed set to form a partnership for years to come. Beyond that duo, it’s unclear. Shamar Stephen will be hitting free agency again, while Nazair Jones was a non-factor as a sophomore and could be heading for a position switch like Quinton Jefferson just went through.
