Thursday morning brought news Seahawks fans had long been waiting for: They were back in the market for a pass rusher.
After wisely filling out their defensive line rotation in free agency, adding secondary and tertiary rushers sorely missed in 2019, there was the sense they still lacked a clear-cut lead rusher—despite the overwhelming numbers at the position. A Jadeveon Clowney-sized hole remained and, while it’s unlikely Clowney will be the one to fill it, Seattle has begun sizing up other pass rushers to do so.
NFL Network’s Mike Silver reported interest from the Seahawks in both Everson Griffen and Clay Matthews, with Clowney in the rear-view mirror.
