Defensive Tackle Ndamukong Suh
It seems like every year the Seahawks pursue a veteran defensive tackle to plug holes on the interior, particularly on early rushing downs. Shamar Stephen, Sheldon Richardson and most recently Al Woods have been called upon to fill these roles, with varying levels of success.
With Woods set to hit free agency and coming off a PED suspension however, it seems likely the Seahawks will once again peruse the veteran market for an interior defensive tackle – and the top of their wish list should be the 33-year-old Ndamukong Suh.
Suh has been a target of Seattle’s in the past, and while he’s no longer the player he once was – when he made five Pro Bowls between 2010 and 2016 – he’s still proven to be a more than capable run-stuffer and an adequate pass rusher.
Last year with Tampa Bay, Suh had 41 combined tackles, 14 quarterback hits, four passes defended, 2.5 sacks and four fumble recoveries, two which went for touchdowns. He appeared in all 16 games for the eighth consecutive season, and has only missed two games in his 10-year career.
Suh’s experience, spotless injury history and continued production would make him an excellent signing up front on Seattle’s defensive line, regardless of whether they bring back Jarran Reed.
