John Gilbert is the Field Gulls Deputy Editor and has covered the NFL's Seattle Seahawks since 2016. He specializes in the salary cap, the collective bargaining agreement and statistical analysis, with an occasional film breakdown sprinkled in.
When the Seattle Seahawks and Uchenna Nwosu agreed to three-year, $45M contract extension on the eve of training camp in 2023, it represented hope for stability on the edge of the defense for the Hawks that had been lacking for several years.
Unfortunately, Nwosu’s 23 season ended less than three months later when he suffered a torn pectoral muscle in a Week 6 win over the Arizona Cardinals, and injury that landed him on injured reserve and brought his 2023 campaign to a screeching halt.
