Just In: Top-tier free agent Brock has his eye on for Seattle Seahawks

The Seattle Seahawks’ roster appears to be largely set as they approach the start of obligatory minicamp in less than one month and the start of voluntary organized team activities (OTAs) in less than a week.

Six things to remember about the Seattle Seahawks schedule

With the exception of offensive linemen Christian Haynes and Michael Jerrell, the Seahawks have signed six of their eight 2024 draft picks to contracts. Additionally, in order to further restructure their roster under first-year head coach Mike Macdonald, Seattle made a number of smaller free agency signings. As per Over The Cap, the Seahawks are down to just $1,343,214. It seems Seattle is simply unable of making any further moves with so little left. But NFL teams always manage to find a way to clear cap space in order to make the correct trade.

Do the Seahawks still have a chance to sign a free agent? During Blue 88 on Seattle Sports’ Brock and Salk on Thursday, former Seahawks quarterback Brock Huard mentioned a specific player.

“At safety, they have already contributed. Justin Simmons is a fantastic player, therefore this is probably not a good idea,” Huard remarked. “He is simply waiting for a lot more money, which is why he is still living on the streets,”

Although the Seahawks might not have the money Simmons is requesting, he would surely bring a dynamic presence to the back end of Seattle’s defense. Simmons amassed 30 interceptions throughout his eight seasons with the Denver Broncos, including a league-high six in 2022 while appearing in just 12 games. Additionally, during the last six seasons, he has intercepted three passes or more.

Huard said, “He really is a stud.” “His back end is such a rock.”

With Julian Love back from injury, the Seahawks have one of their starting safety slots set. After agreeing to a two-year, $12 million contract with the organization in the offseason, Rayshawn Jenkins seems to be the team’s primary choice for the second starting position. Between stints with the Jacksonville Jaguars and Los Angeles Chargers, he has started every one of the last five NFL seasons. Competition for playing time at safety will also come from K’Von Wallace, an offseason signing, and returner Coby Bryant.

Huard pointed out that the most likely scenario in which Simmons would join the Seahawks is if they have a major injury at the position.

Huard remarked, “Just keep an eye on Justin Simmons, man.” He is, in my opinion, the best player remaining on the field who is either waiting for an injury or a big contract. it guy can really ball; hopefully it doesn’t happenu
