The Seahawks have done a great job by signing some really good players to fairly low-cost contracts this offseason. Geno Atkins needs to be the next one. Seattle shouldn’t be done with getting players who can pressure opposing quarterbacks and Atkins should still be able to do that.

I know the plan is for the Seahawks to move Poona Ford from one defensive tackle spot to Jarran Reed’s old spot in hopes that Ford will be able to supply interior pressure but after Ford, there are simply a lot of run stoppers on Seattle’s current roster.
