*The Seattle Seahawks are heading into the 2020 offseason with 19 players set to become unrestricted free agents, which should make for another busy spring and summer for Pete Carroll and John Schneider as they look to shore up the roster and contend for the number one seed in the NFC again next year.*
Our Seahawks Wire series on Seattle’s free agents continues with cornerback Neiko Thorpe.
For the fourth straight year, the Seahawks used defensive back Neiko Thorpe as a core special teams contributor. Injuries limited the former Auburn star to just seven games, however, and he wasn’t exceptionally productive on special teams – or when he was asked to play defense as an injury replacement.
All told, the soon-to-be 30-year-old racked up just four combined tackles last year, earning a 58.9 grade from Pro Football Focus.
Thorpe has not proven himself as a defensive player, and while the Seahawks could look to bring him back as a special teams contributor, it seems almost certain they’ll look to revamp their depth at cornerback – which could spell the end of his tenure in the Emerald City.
