*The Seattle Seahawks are heading into the 2020 offseason with 19 players set to become unrestricted free agents, which should make for another busy spring and summer for Pete Carroll and John Schneider as they look to shore up the roster and contend for the number one seed in the NFC again next year.*
Our Seahawks Wire series on Seattle’s free agents continues with defensive end Quinton Jefferson.
Entering his age-27 season, Seahawks defensive end Quinton Jefferson is coming off a second straight productive campaign along Seattle’s defensive line.
Jefferson is cherished by the Seahawks staff thanks to his versatility, proving capable as a five-tech and three-tech, and excelling as a pass rusher and a run stuffer.
He finished the 2019 season with 3.5 sacks, three passes defended and one fumble recovered, and he tacked on two more sacks in Seattle’s wild-card win over the Eagles in Philadelphia.
The 2016 fifth-round pick has been a sneaky good part of Seattle’s defensive line, and considering the unit’s overall struggles in 2019, it would be relatively surprising to see the team let him walk in free agency.
