Grading the Seahawks signing of Benson Mayowa

New Seahawks defensive end Benson Mayowa is a one-note player. He can get to the quarterback somewhat well, or at least he did in 2019, but beyond that, he does not do much. However, what Seattle needs, besides high-end edge rushers, is depth among players who can take down opposing quarterbacks. While somewhat in a limited fashion, Mayowa can do that.

The guy who led the Seahawks in sacks last year was Rasheem Green. Seriously, and you know this. But if Green’s agent goes to re-work Green’s contract with Seattle and says, “You know, in 2019, my guy led your team in sacks and so we want (this much) money,” he would not have a bad argument.
