NEWS REPORT: SEATTIE SEAHAWAKS HEAD COACH MIKE MACDONALD EXPLAINED WHY HE NO LONGER CONTINUE WITH THE TEAM.. …
Out are Bobby Wagner and Jordyn Brooks and in are Tyrel Dodson and Jerome Baker as linebackers for the Seattle Seahawks.
Seattle Seahawks’ free agency points to clear direction with 1st-round pick
Wagner and Brooks started for the Hawks last year, but both are on new teams with Wagner joining a few of his former coaches in Washington while Brooks, Seattle’s first-round pick in 2020, signed a three-year contract with the Miami Dolphins.
In turn, the Seahawks signed Dodson and Baker to one-year deals in free agency. Dodson is 26 years old and spent the first four years of his career in Buffalo, while the 27-year-old Baker just wrapped up his sixth NFL season, all of which have been with Miami.
During this week’s John Schneider Show on Seattle Sports with the Seahawks general manager and president of football operations, he first had a little fun with hosts Dave Wyman and Bob Stelton when asked about his two new linebackers, who were not signed at the time of last week’s show.
“Both of you guys (last week) were freaking out about the linebackers at the time, and I was like, ‘Well, there’s one upstairs (in Dodson) and there’s another one flying in tomorrow night (in Baker). I really want to tell these guys. I really want to tell them, but I don’t want the other guy going to the other club and the guy upstairs leaving to get on the plane to go where he was supposed to go,’” Schneider said.
