GM Schneider to reporters at NFL meetings: Team considering moving RG Germain Ifedi to RT

The Seahawks’ plans to upgrade their offensive line just got a bit clearer -- in theory, anyway.

General manager John Schneider told Seattle-area reporters at the league’s owners meetings in Arizona on Tuesday recently acquired lineman Oday Aboushi will begin his Seattle tenure this preseason as a right guard -- and, thus, the Seahawks are indeed considering moving Germain Ifedi to right tackle.

Ifedi, the team’s first-round draft choice last year, spent his rookie season as the starting right guard. He was a right tackle before that, in college for Texas A&M. Speculation has remained that tackle may be his best position for Seattle.
