The tight end position may be a crucial need for the Seattle Seahawks this offseason with concerns about Will Dissly’s durability and the depth of the roster.
Dissly has been productive when he has been healthy and could still serve as a key target for Russell Wilson in the future, but he has suffered two season-ending injuries in as many years in the NFL. Seattle has few viable options outside of him.
Jacob Hollister became a key contributor on offense after the Seahawks acquired him in a trade with the Patriots, but has also had his share of rough moments and is a restricted free agent as well. Ed Dickson has spent most of his time in the Emerald City on injured reserve. This looks like a tight end unit in need of reinforcement.
There will likely be players available in free agency – such as Austin Hooper and Eric Ebron – for the team to consider as well as this year’s draft prospects. The Seahawks should be looking into all possible options moving forward.
The Seahawks’ most glaring positional needs may be along both the offensive and defensive lines, but tight end is a position of need that should not be overlooked in free agency and the 2020 NFL Draft.
