Additionally, Seattle could explore veteran options in free agency after not drafting a pass rusher in 2026. PFF notes suggest Joey Bosa as a plausible target, highlighting his elite pass-rush skills and fit within Seattle’s rotation, even if his run defense isn’t as strong. Bosa’s recent performance with the Bills, including 47 pressures and a solid pass-rush grade, supports the idea that he could elevate Seattle’s pass rush in 2026 if he joined the contender-friendly Seahawks. The article emphasizes the Seahawks’ need to reinforce the edge and create disruptive blitz packages while managing age and contract considerations across the current group.
Key takeaways:
– Seahawks’ edge defense faces turnover risk with Mafe’s departure and veteran questions for Hall, Lawrence, and Nwosu.
– Trade and free-agent targets discussed: Kayvon Thibodeaux (Giants) and Joey Bosa (Bills/free agent market) as potential fits to boost pass rush.
– Emphasis on improving run defense and preserving a dangerous edge-rushing rotation through strategic acquisitions.
