Key Points:
- The Seattle Seahawks did not add any edge rushers in the recent NFL Draft, despite the position being a key strength last season and uncertainty surrounding current players Boye Mafe, Derick Hall, DeMarcus Lawrence, and Uchenna Nwosu.
- Analyst Bryan Walters suggested the Seahawks could still bolster their edge rusher group through free agency, highlighting Kyle Van Noy, former Seahawk Jadaveon Clowney, and Von Miller as top veteran options familiar with head coach Mike Macdonald’s defensive system.
- Clowney, who played for Seattle in 2019 and Baltimore under Macdonald in 2023, recorded 8.5 sacks last season with the Dallas Cowboys, while Van Noy had a Pro Bowl season in 2024 and also played under Macdonald in Baltimore.
- Von Miller, despite being 37 and injury-prone in recent years, posted 9.0 sacks and played all 17 games last season with the Washington Commanders, though he reportedly declined a Seahawks contract offer last offseason.
- The Seahawks’ edge rusher situation remains a key question mark heading into the next season, with free agency seen as a potential avenue to strengthen the position.
