Following a 2022 season in which the defensive front seven struggled to stop the ground attack of opponents, the Seattle Seahawks took to completely overhauling the defensive line.
The overhaul included moving on from several veterans, including Shelby Harris, Quinton Jefferson and Al Woods, while also letting Poona Ford leave in free agency. The Hawks quickly added Dre’Mont Jones and Jarran Reed in free agency, before using the draft to add Cameron Young and Mike Morris. Then, to further add to the competition the team also signed several undrafted free agents and street free agents who had failed to find a home so far in free agency.
