Seahawks could use a reliable 3rd wide receiver in 2020

The Seattle Seahawks find themselves with a solid one-two punch at wide receiver in Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf, but they could use a reliable third option to go with the dynamic duo.

Seattle’s offense also has tight end Will Dissly, who is a real threat when healthy, but he has succumbed to season-ending injuries in both of his years in the NFL so far. Seattle’s offense has occasionally suffered in Dissly’s absence, and given his injury history, Russell Wilson may just need another weapon to utilize in the 2020 season.

Players like David Moore, Malik Turner, and Jaron Brown have not produced significantly enough to be locked in as the No. 3 receivers and all of them are impending free agents. The only other wide receiver currently on the roster for next year is John Ursua, who made a tremendous catch against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 17 of 2019 but has seen extremely limited playing time.

The Seahawks could turn their attention toward free agency and the draft, even though they could have more pressing needs at other positions. Lockett and Metcalf are locks to make the 2020 roster, but the keepers of the third, and possibly fourth and fifth, wide receiver slots are currently unknown.
