Seahawks need to treat re-signing Jadeveon Clowney as a necessity

The Seahawks’ defense isn’t topping too many people’s list of concerns right now. But as sports — or at least sports chatter — serves as a proper diversion, it does remain a topic of discussion.

And here’s the thing about the Seahawks’ defense: It was pretty awful last year. Meaning if they don’t figure out a way to sign Jadeveon Clowney or someone who rivals his skill set, that D runs the risk of downgrading from awful to downright absent.

Reports surfaced on Saturday saying Seattle may be closing to re-signing Clowney, although those reports are a long way from certain.
