It’s no secret the Seattle Seahawks need help rushing the passer. The hope throughout the offseason has been to reunite with Jadeveon Clowney and to potentially add another big name piece as well, like Everson Griffen, Yannick Ngakoue or Matthew Judon.
So far none of that has come to fruition, with the Seahawks biding their time while shoring up their depth in the form of a pair of old friends: Bruce Irvin and Benson Mayowa, two veteran pass rushers who played with the team during the Legion of Boom era.
While the Seahawks certainly need to add at least one big name rusher, ideally Clowney, they could continue to add depth pieces to bring into training camp, hoping the collective unit will help form a solid pass rush in 2020.
Another name the team could consider, since they are on the reunion track, is Dion Jordan.
Jordan spent the 2019 season with the Raiders, appearing in seven games and racking up two sacks. He was with the Seahawks in 2017 and 2018, and while injuries limited him to just 17 total games, he did accrue 5.5 sacks, 11 quarterback hits and two forced fumbles.
Jordan has had plenty of red flags in his career, namely injury and disciplinary related, but the former third overall pick has proven capable of getting to the quarterback when he’s healthy, and he’s familiar with coach Pete Carroll’s defensive scheme and what his role would be.
