The Seattle Seahawks defensive line needs to improve across the board in 2023 if the team wants to achieve their aspirations of winning at least one playoff game. Al Woods was arguably the best and most consistent defensive lineman for Seattle last season. However, the former LSU Tiger will be turning 36 before the ‘23 season gets underway so it would be foolish for Pete Carroll to rely on him to make a similar impact. Additionally, like Woods, fellow veteran interior defensive lineman Shelby Harris is entering the final year of his contract.
As a result of the age and contract statuses of the Seahawks interior defensive line it has quietly become a must address position for Clint Hurtt’s defense.
