Seahawks’ dance of continuity, need for adding to O-line includes Fant “is our left tackle”

INDIANAPOLIS The Seahawks are doing a dance here at the NFL combine. It’s to address their most pressing need. It’s an act that will continue all offseason through free agency, too.

It’s more a safety dance than a salsa.

Seattle’s coaches and scouts are carefully balancing their desire to keep their current, young offensive linemen -- the league’s lowest-paid unit -- together for continuity and growth in 2017 with the undeniable need to import a veteran “glue guy” to mentor the pups. The team wants a proven, dependable option, especially at tackle, if the line’s development slogs like it did last season.
