Seahawks 2021 pre-draft checkup: Aspiring Super Bowl contender seeks starting linebacker

I fear that the Seahawks might be misinterpreting the concept of a “4-3” defense. They currently have 4 linebackers on the roster with 3 starting positions to fill. The problem is that only 2 of the 4 linebackers are starter-caliber players.

Turnover, thus far

Out:

  • Bruce Irvin - free agent, unsigned
  • K.J. Wright - free agent, unsigned
  • Shaquem Griffin - free agent, unsigned

In:

  • Zip
  • Zilch
  • Nada

Net result: We’re down 3 linebackers.
