*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 Ziggy Ansah.
The Seahawks did not have a good pass rush last year, but it wasn’t for lack of effort. The team made a pair of veteran additions in Ziggy Ansah and Jadeveon Clowney, while also using their first-round pick on defensive end L.J. Collier.
Unfortunately, injuries and ineffectiveness worked their way across Seattle’s defensive line, hitting the veteran Ansah the hardest.
After signing a one-year deal worth $9 million dollars, Ansah was only able to deliver 2.5 sacks and eight quarterback hits in 11 games played, gradually losing playing time to Shaquem Griffin down the stretch.
While Seattle is still desperate for more help on the edge, it seems unlikely the team will give Ansah another chance after a disappointing campaign in 2019.
