Seahawks showing interest in wide receiver Phillip Dorsett

Just got off the phone with impending FA WR Phillip Dorsett. He told me, teams showing preliminary interest in him include the #NYJ, #SEA, #LAC, #SF, #LVR. He said, "I just want to come in and have a great opportunity to play and showcase how I can really flourish as a player."

The Seattle Seahawks are known for doing their due diligence on nearly every possible free agent or trade option on the market, especially at key positions of need.

That’s why it is no surprise to hear their name mentioned among the many interested in impending free agent wide receiver Phillip Dorsett.

Dorsett was a first round pick in 2015 by the Colts, where he spent two seasons before getting traded to the Patriots in exchange for Jacoby Brissett.

Dorsett had one of his best seasons last year in New England, recording 29 receptions for 397 yards and five touchdowns, serving as a depth option for Tom Brady.

That’s likely what he’d be competing for in Seattle. With Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf locked into the top two roles, Dorsett would compete with David Moore and Malik Turner for targets, as well as whomever else the Seahawks bring into camp via the draft or free agency.

Dorsett would be a low-cost option to bring into camp, and his recent performance would likely make him a front runner for a valuable role on this team next year – if Seattle is able to bring him in.
