$70 million edge rusher and former San Francisco 49er edge rusher Randy Gregory may land with NFC West rival Seattle Seahawks this offseason. According to CBS Sports, the NFC West stalwart is showing interest in Gregory to boost their defense. There’s no such thing as too many options as the Seahawks are searching for reliable talent to rush the passer. They’re not ineffective in this department, but they haven’t had a true lethal pass rush since the Legion of Boom days.
Former Seahawk linebacker, Bobby Wagner is not returning to the team after signing a one-year deal with the Washington Commanders. He was one of the last members of Pete Carroll’s defense. This now leads to a need on their defensive front and it seems like they could bring Gregory to help. His market is likely dipping with his track record of injuries which makes him an affordable addition for the team.
The Nebraska product was selected in the second round of the 2015 NFL Draft by the Dallas Cowboys and has had a bit of a tumultuous career. Gregory hasn’t played up to his potential yet after his plaguing injuries and repeated substance abuse issues. However, he may find a new life with a reunion with current Seahawks defensive coordinator, Aden Durde. Durde served as the Cowboys’ defensive line coach from 2021-2023 when Gregory was in Dallas before his departure in 2022.
