Seahawks: Potential free agent targets at guard for 2017
If the Seattle Seahawks move Germain Ifedi back to offensive tackle, they’ll need a guard who can come in and start right away.
What the Seattle Seahawks are looking for at guard depends entirely on their plans for Germain Ifedi. He was drafted to play tackle, but the Seahawks stashed him at guard for his rookie season. Both Tom Cable and Pete Carroll have said recently that the plan is to leave Ifedi at guard.
Sadly, you can never believe what coaches say this time of year. It is entirely possible that saying that is just a draft smokescreen or leverage in a negotiation with another lineman. That means we cannot assume that Ifedi is moving or staying and must account for both outcomes.
