The Seattle Seahawks took several hits to their pass rush depth this spring. First, Cliff Avril was forced to retire. Then, Michael Bennett was traded to the Eagles. Then, Dion Jordan suffered a knee injury on the first day of camp, and it was revealed Frank Clark was recovering from surgery of his own. And, halfway through camp, Marcus Smith retired under vague conditions.
Once thought of as a bust, Smith revived his career somewhat with Seattle during the 2017 season. Following the season, Smith was re-signed to a modest $1.
