Which remaining NFL free agents would fit with the Seahawks?

B.J. Raji (Defensive Tackle)
Depth at defensive line has proven to be pretty important the past few years. Seattle’s top-ranked defense can attribute a lot of their success to being able to rotate fresh bodies into the game and bring continuous pressure on opposing quarterbacks.
Last season that was lacking over the first half of the season but was addressed later on. Adding someone like Raji would continue the trend of bringing in solid players to play in a rotation with the Seahawks multiple weapons on the d-line.
Raji missed all of last season with a biceps injury and would be wise to sign a one year “prove it” deal with a team such as the Seahawks.
Red Bryant (Defensive Tackle)
Bryant would fill the same needs as previously mentioned with B.J. Raji. The benefit to adding Bryant back into the mix would be his familiarity in the system as well as the likelihood that he’d be a cheaper option.
Having played with the Jaguars in 2014, Bryant started all 16 games and played in 536 plays.
The 6-foot-4, 320 pound run-stuffer was a fan favorite among 12’s in Seattle and would be a much welcomed addition if the front office chose to bring him back.
