*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 tackle Al Woods.
Carroll loves bringing in veteran, run-stuffing defensive tackles to rotate in on early downs. 2019 brought him one of the best he’s had in recent years in Al Woods, who racked up 32 combined tackles – including three for a loss – as well as one sack and two fumble recoveries.
This would seem like a more obvious re-signing had Woods not been hit with a four-game suspension near the end of the season, costing him Seattle’s final two regular-season games and both playoff contests.
The sour taste of the suspension along with a predicted influx of defensive tackles via the draft and/or free agency could have Woods looking for a new team in 2020.
