Early in free agency the Seattle Seahawks worked to address the defense by adding two off ball linebackers in Devin Bush and Bobby Wagner. Those two additions should help offset the likely lack of availability of Jordyn Brooks during the 2023 season, along with making up for the departure of Coby Barton to the Washington Commanders.
Many Seahawks fans were excited see Barton leave, even if it created a need to replace a significant number of snaps on both defense and on special teams. However, Friday afternoon Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network reported that yet another key member of the Seattle special teams units in recent seasons is set to depart.
