4) Linebackers

This group is led by two elite linebackers in Bobby Wagner and KJ Wright, and this duo will keep this position playing at a top level even with the loss of Bruce Irvin.

Mike Morgan and Cassius Marsh are the two most likely candidates to replace Irvin at SAM.  Both are talented players with a lot of speed, and are more than capable of being starters in this league.

Wagner has started 55 games since being in the NFL and has played at an All-Pro level for most of his career.  Wagner had 114 total tackles last season and was all over the field making plays.

KJ Wright is still underrated in the NFL, and this year, hopefully, he will earn his first Pro-Bowl selection.  Wright had 116 total tackles last season and was a key part in the Seahawks’ defense continuing their dominance.

The linebackers also have some really good backups such as Eric Pinkins, Brock Coyle and Kevin Pierre- Louis.  These three players will play a big part in the special teams department and will also be ready to play, if needed, in case of an injury to a starter.
