Darrell Taylor has been traded to the Bears. Who could the Seahawks pick up in free agency to replace him on the roster?
Making a deal for the second straight day, the Seattle Seahawks swung a trade with the Chicago Bears on Friday, sending edge rusherin exchange for a 2025 sixth-rounder. That freed up a roster spot and put an extra pick in John Schneider's pocket for the future.
With Taylor being owed around $3 million in 2024, that is some extra cash Seattle could spend elsewhere. According to The Maryland product offers a stockier frame than Taylor, so it wouldn't be a direct replacement in regards to skillset. But Ngakoue is an established veteran with multiple double-digit sack seasons under his belt. Seattle would not need him to come in and be a leader or be relied upon to put up big time production. He would provide solid veteran depth and mix in with Seattle's already solid collection of veteran and young pass rushers.
If that's water under the bridge, he offers more of the same physical specifications Taylor had rather than Ngakoue.
