When the Seattle Seahawks opened training camp, they had an almost entirely rebuilt position group at corner. Now several degrees of separation removed from the Legion of Boom, the Seahawks found themselves looking at names like Witherspoon, Desir, and Brown where once names such as Sherman, Thurmond, and even Griffin once populated the depth chart. The former two are no longer with the team and the latter rookie remains injured and has yet to establish himself as a pro. So when Seattle traded for Sidney Jones, another move at cornerback seemed forthcoming. Indeed, Seattle made said move on Saturday, bringing third year player and former 6th round selection Blessuan ‘Bless’ Austin to the Pacific Northwest.
