Finding Free Agents: Gerald McCoy would be an improvement on Jarran Reed

In our 2020 iteration of Finding Free Agents, we’ll attempt to answer three questions for each player: Why would the Seahawks be interested? What would their contract look like? What is the likelihood they reach free agency? Throughout the series, we’ll be focused on specific positions of need in Seattle: Wide receiver, offensive line, defensive tackle and EDGE.

After nine outstanding years in Tampa Bay with the Buccaneers, four-time All-Pro Gerald McCoy moved on to the Panthers in 2019. Playing as a 3-4 defensive end for the first time, McCoy posted his lowest sack total since 2012, with five, and was a part of a horrendous Carolina run defense.
