3 XFL players the Seattle Seahawks could pursue in free agency

The XFL is allowing players to be signed by NFL teams starting Monday, March 23. Here are three players the Seattle Seahawks should pursue.

Defensive End Anthony Johnson

Johnson was part of one of the only trades in the XFL’s first season, going from Los Angeles to DC. He finished the season with 2.5 sacks, four quarterback hits and 10 total tackles.

Johnson was one of the highest rated recruits out of high school when he committed to LSU, where he played from 2011-2013.

Johnson bounced around the NFL after going undrafted, recording 16 combined tackles in 22 games played, primarily on special teams.

Still, he was a prolific pass rusher in college and showed at age 27 that he still has some of those skills in the XFL this past season. While he probably wouldn’t come in and immediately contribute, he could be a nice depth option/camp body.

If he impresses, maybe he steals a spot as an injury replacement.
