It’s no secret the Seattle Seahawks are going to add a veteran defensive tackle before the 2020 season kicks off.
After all, recent years have seen late additions of Al Woods, Shamar Stephen and Sheldon Richardson, and this year’s squad has almost no depth behind presumed starters Jarran Reed and Poona Ford.
The question, however, is how much Seattle will be willing to spend on a third defensive tackle, a role typically reserved for a veteran guy near the end of their productive NFL seasons.
If they are willing to dip into their cap space, one name who would really help shore things up on the front lines is Damon “Snacks” Harrison.
Harrison spent the first 6.5 years of his career in New York, split between the Jets and the Giants, before joining the Lions for the last half of the 2018 season and all of 2019.
Named an All-Pro in 2016, Harrison racked up 485 tackles, 11 sacks, 10 passes defended and four forced fumbles in his career – cementing himself among the best run-stuffers in the NFL over the last decade.
As a No. 3 option behind Reed and Ford, Harrison would give Seattle some desperately needed depth on a defensive line that struggled against both the run and the pass last year, and lost Jadeveon Clowney and Quinton Jefferson, as well as Woods, this offseason.
