Heart breaking news: Seattle Seahawks QB is court and has just been arrested for molestation and domestic violence……

The decision to move on from Jamal Adams, Quandre Diggs, Jordyn Brooks, and other contributors from 2023 has left a number of lingering questions for the Seattle Seahawks defense. Head coach Mike Macdonald addressed these to some extent when he spoke to reporters yesterday at the NFL’s annual meeting (at the Ritz-Carlton, no less). He spoke to the need for “versatility” from his defense, particularly from the linebacker and safety positions. He highlighted some former players, as well as some recent additions, and explained some of the rationale that has informed their decision making this offseason.

Both guys [free agent linebackers Tyrel Dodson and Jerome Baker] have played both spots,” Macdonald said. “Two guys that can run. Two intelligent football players. Tough. I thought they were both good tacklers. They’re both good players in space. Those are things we’re asking of our inside ‘backers. Those guys gotta take up a lot of ground, man. They gotta play people out of the backfield, they gotta play all the choice routes on the weakside, which is hard to do.

“I think we got the right guys for the job. They’ve gotta blitz, play man-to-man. We ask a lot out of our inside ‘backers. It’ll be a great battle, and we’ll see how it comes to life, but I think there’s some opportunity there to have a little more position flexibility than I think maybe you saw in Baltimore.”
