USAT: Seahawks Wire

Mar 6, 2022

The scouting combine is just about to wrap up in Indianapolis and next up on the NFL calendar is free agency and the start of the new league year. - Teams around the league will be looking to other rosters soon to find the best available players to plug any holes heading into the season. While the big names normally draw the most attention, it’s the underrated veterans who could make the most impact for a steal. - Cody Benjamin of CBS Sports took a look at some of the best free agents who could fly under the radar and Seahawks cornerback D.J. Reed is among the top 10. - “Seattle’s defense has been bad for years, but over the past season and a half, Reed, 25, has proven to be a legitimate cover man, logging 17 pass deflections and four picks since 2020,” Benjamin writes. “Feisty for his size, he has shown enough flashes in San Francisco and Seattle to warrant looks from teams hungry for long-term upside at a mercurial position, even though bigger names like J.C. Jackson and Stephon Gilmore could shape the market.” - Negotiations and tampering can begin on March 14 before the new year kicks off two days later. - - RelatedSeahawks CB Tre Brown working hard to come back from knee injury - - List - - Ranking 4 free agents from the NFC East that should interest the Seahawks - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Seahawks Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Seahawks Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.
