The position group where the Seahawks could be impacted the most in free agency is defensive tackle as both starters from 2015 — Brandon Mebane and Ahtyba Rubin — can be unrestricted free agents beginning Wednesday.
Here’s a closer look at Rubin.
DT Ahtyba Rubin
2015 salary: Rubin played last season on a one-year contract worth $2.6 million (1.35 million salary, $1 million signing bonus, $250,000 roster bonus) as an unrestricted free agent.
Role with Seahawks in 2015: Rubin was signed after he had played the previous seven years in Cleveland to compete for the defensive tackle job, specifically at what is called the “three-technique’’ spot, aligned outside the shoulder of the guard.
