NFL free agency: 5 targets for Seahawks after Russell Wilson trade

Seattle is in need of pass rushing help, as they only accumulated 34 sacks on the opposing quarterback, which is tied with the New York Giants and Baltimore Ravens for the ninth-fewest in the entire league. Given the cap space they have at their disposal, the Seahawks can make a run at one of the top edge rushers this offseason, who just so happens to be a player they see twice a season.

Chandler Jones.

Throughout his career, Jones has shown that he is able to post double-digit sacks on a near yearly basis. In 2020, Jones was limited to just five games after tearing his biceps. The injury did not limit his production when returning this past season, as he recorded 41 combined tackles, 26 quarterback hits, 10.5 sacks and six forced fumbles in 15 games.

The Seahawks know all too well about Jones, as he recorded 16.5 sacks against them in his career, the most out of every team he’s played. It only makes sense for Seattle to throw a big contract at Jones to pry him away from the Cardinals.
