Seahawks have interest in free agent safety Damarious Randall

The Seattle Seahawks are looking for more depth in the secondary, and for competition for Ugo Amadi at the nickel cornerback position.

The legal tampering period of the NFL’s free agency has begun, and the Seattle Seahawks are reportedly interested in free agent defensive back Damarious Randall, according to ESPN’s Josina Anderson.

Randall, 27, spent the last two seasons as the starting free safety for the Browns, recording 146 combined tackles, 15 passes defended and four interceptions in 26 starts.

However, prior to that Randall was a versatile defensive back who spent time at both the outside corner and nickel corner spots while with the Packers, who originally drafted him in the first round of the 2015 draft.

The Seahawks would likely move Randall around in training camp, viewing him as a potential backup safety (he’s unlikely to unseat Quandre Diggs or Bradley McDougald) and potential competition for Tre Flowers and Ugo Amadi at right corner and nickel, respectively.

Randall has already drawn interest from multiple teams, so there’s no guarantee he ends up in the Emerald City, but he’d be a nice, versatile depth option for coach Pete Carroll to experiment with in training camp.
