Seahawks cuts continue with release of nose tackle Bryan Mone

Today the cuts continued, as the team announced nose tackle Bryan Mone has been released.

The Seahawks front office is in a slash and burn mood this week. Yesterday the team announced that safeties Quandre Diggs and Jamal Adams as well as tight end Will Dissly had been released. All together those three moves saved Seattle around $24 million in cap space of the 2024 season.

Today the cuts continued, as the team announced nose tackle Bryan Mone has been released.

Cutting Mone saves another $5.39 million in cap room for 2024. Seattle now has around $41.6 million in cap space. Only 11 teams have more.

After going undrafted out of Michigan, Mone appeared in 41 games with the Seahawks from 2019-2022. He missed the entire 2023 season with a torn ACL.

As for the depth chart, Jarran Reed remains on top, but this news should guarantee more playing time for second-year tackle and primary backup Cameron Young next season.

Best and worst PFF grades for Seattle from loss to Pittsburgh

The Seahawks lost to the Steelers because they couldn’t tackle – especially on the back end of their defense.

The Seahawks lost to the Steelers because they couldn’t tackle – especially on the back end of their defense. While Devon Witherspoon made one impressive TFL in the third quarter, otherwise he was completely hapless trying to bring down any ball-carriers for Pittsburgh. The same case was true for practically everybody else on Seattle’s secondary. Pro Football Focus agrees, giving them all gruesome grades as tacklers this week.

On the other side of the ball, the biggest issue was bad pass protection. While Geno Smith was able to mitigate the worst of it with a great game, all that pressure kept a low lid on what the offense was able to do. As is appropriate, PFF gave exceptionally poor pass blocking grades to the Seahawks offensive line, especially their offensive tackles.

Here are the top and bottom five performers on both sides of the ball this week, according to PFF’s grades.

Seahawks NT Jarran Reed comments on rematch with 49ers

The season is far from over for Seattle, but they risk letting it slip away.

The Seattle Seahawks are not in a good spot right now. At 6-6, they are currently the No. 8 seed in the NFC, which is one behind the similarly 6-6 Green Bay Packers. Right on their tails are the 6-6 Los Angeles Rams, who in a direct face off would have the tiebreaker over them.

It does not get any easier, as the Seahawks must take on the San Francisco 49ers in a crucial rematch. Defensive lineman Jarran Reed spoke to the media at how important this game is, and what it means to get back on track.

The season is far from over for Seattle, but they risk letting it slip away. The Packers face the lowly New York Giants, which should be a win for them. As for the Rams, they play the Baltimore Ravens, which should be a loss. Should LA and Seattle both lose, with Green Bay winning, the Seahawks would fall to the No. 9 spot behind the Rams.

Not to mention falling to below .500 on the year when they were 5-2 at one point this season.

Jarran Reed: Seahawks vs. Cowboys will be ‘huge game for us’

The Seattle Seahawks are in a tough spot. Sitting at 6-5, with two-straight losses and three ugly blowout defeats in the last month, the excitement of the prospects for this season has started to wane. Now, they are about to enter a true murderer’s row.

After San Francisco, there’s no rest for the weary. Seattle will have to face the Dallas Cowboys tomorrow night. While the betting odds are, understandably, heavily in Dallas’ favor, the Seahawks are not giving up.

Defensive lineman Jarran Reed recently spoke to the media about the huge opportunity presented to the team by playing the Cowboys.

If there is one thing we have learned about the Seattle Seahawks under Pete Carroll, it’s not smart to count them out. When this team’s backs are against the wall, they usually find a way to strike back. If they are able to pull off the upset over Dallas, the outlook of the remainder of the season will change drastically.

On the flip side, a loss to the Cowboys would be genuinely devastating. There is still a buffer between the Seahawks and other teams outside of the playoff picture, but the margin will shrink considerably.

Jarran Reed ranked second at nose tackle by Next Gen Stats

Perhaps the biggest surprise of all is Jarran Reed having the best year of his career by light years at nose tackle. 

The Seahawks are 5-2 heading into a huge road game today against the 6-2 Ravens. They wouldn’t have gotten here without some pleasant surprises on defense in the early part of the season. For one thing, Boye Mafe has blossomed into one of the NFL’s most potent edge rushers. For another, Jordyn Brooks has suddenly become one of the game’s most well-rounded off-ball linebackers. Perhaps the biggest surprise of all is Jarran Reed having the best year of his career by light years at nose tackle.

According to Next Gen Stats, Reed has been among the best in the league at that position this year. In fact, heading into Week 9 only Dexter Lawrence of the Giants is ranked higher.

Indredible work from Reed. While he’s been a solid starter his entire career he’s hasn’t made a Pro Bowl team yet. That will likely change this year if he keeps this up and he may even have a shot at second-team All-Pro. That remarkable development this late in Reed’s career is more proof that there’s something special about these 2023 Seahawks…

Leonard Williams could be the final piece for Seahawks’ evolving defense. Grade: A

The Leonard Williams trade gives the Seahawks another force multiplier in a defense that’s been evolving right under your nose.

The Seattle Seahawks, after their 24-20 win over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, find themselves ranked 15th overall in Defensive DVOA, and ninth against the run. Both pretty decent upgrades over the 2022 season, when the Seahawks ranked 22nd in Defensive DVOA, and 24th against the run. Seattle did a lot in the offseason to upgrade their interior defensive line, signing former Denver Broncos star Dre’Mont Jones and journeyman Mario Edwards Jr., and bringing Jarran Reed back after seasons in Kansas City and Green Bay — Reed was Seattle’s second-round pick in 2016.

So, the Seahawks have had multiple guys who can stop things up inside, and can also show out in multiple fronts. That process accelerated seriously on Monday, when general manager John Schneider dropped the hammer on a trade that sends former New York Giants and New York Jets lineman Leonard Williams to the Emerald City for a second-round pick in 2024, and a fifth-round pick in 2025.

For the Giants, the thought process is obvious — they’re sellers at 2-6, and they were going to have trouble re-signing Williams, who’s in the last year of the three-year, $63 million contract extension he signed in 2021. 2024 is a void year in that contract, so the Seahawks rented Williams for the second half of the season and however far they make it through the postseason, and the Giants will eat a lot of the 2023 money.

For the Seahawks, this move gives them four legitimate inside/outside guys who can all disrupt the quarterback and stop the run, which is an obvious boon for defensive coordinator Clint Hurtt just as young edge-rushers Boye Mafe and Darrell Taylor starting to show up hard. Add in a linebacker group led by Bobby Wagner that’s playing lights-out, and a secondary with as much talent as any NFL team could boast, and… well, this might not be a return to the Legion of Boom, but it’s pretty impactful.

What does the tape show for Seattle’s newest defender, who has two sacks, 22 total pressures, 14 tackles, and 13 stops this season? Let’s get to it.

Jarran Reed and Quandre Diggs both wanted Frank Clark back

The latest to join the back-again club is Frank Clark.

2023 is appropriately the year of the throwback. Not only are the Seahawks embracing their past by wearing their gorgeous green and blue uniforms of the 80s and 90s, they’ve also brought back several former defensive players to help make them a contender again. The latest to join the back-again club is Frank Clark, who signed with the team earlier this week after some free agent flirting with the Broncos.

In theory, Clark will help keep Seattle’s edge rotation running smoothly in the absence of Uchenna Nwosu, who’s been placed on injured reserve after suffering a pectoral injury last week that willr require season-ending surgery.

Even before Nwosu’s injury a reunion made sense. Apparently several of Clark’s new/old teammates were pitching the front office to bring him back. Among them were nose tackle Jarran Reed, who’s having the best season of his career by far.

Free safety Quandre Diggs also shared a message on Twitter that says he was trying to bring Clark back this offseason, as well.

Clark’s old No. 55 is now being worn by defensive end Dre’Mont Jones, so he’s taken No. 57, which he wore at Michigan. Clark is expected to make his second Seahawks debut later today against the Browns.
