On the Bubble

Defensive End – Dion Jordan

Notice that photo on Jordan above. It is from 2013. Jordan has been in the NFL since then and has not accomplished much. He has tremendous athletic ability. Jordan could be a great speed rusher. But no one has seen this from him. Seattle decided to take a chance on him. Now he has had knee surgery this offseason. If Jordan cannot get back for training camp in late July, he will not make the team. If he does and shows his skills, he will.

Defensive Tackle – Jeremy Liggins

Liggins went undrafted this year and Seattle signed him. The coaches have been impressed with him so far. He has good size and could add more weight. If the Seahawks go with nine defensive lineman, he could be the ninth.
