Three players Seahawks can least afford to lose other than Russell Wilson and Bobby Wagner

The beginning to the Seahawks season is growing closer. Besides Russell Wilson and Bobby Wagner, here are three players Seattle can’t do without.

The Seahawks open training camp on July 25th. Several position battles are ongoing and probably won’t be known until nearly week one of the regular season. But there are several Seattle players that are locked into their positions and losing any one of them would be detrimental to the season.

Two players I won’t be discussing here are too obvious. If Seattle were to lose Russell Wilson or Bobby Wagner then the team probably would finish far out of the playoff race. Wilson maybe more than Wagner as a team without its starting quarterback is pretty much a sitting duck. Or something akin to the New York Jets.

Seattle also is fairly loaded at linebacker and better equipped to play without Wagner. Not that losing Wagner would not be a travesty because it would be. But K.J. Wright and Mychal Kendricks are good enough to at least alleviate some of the pain of being without Wagner.

Seattle is pretty thin at some other position groups, though. There is a lot of unproven talent along the defensive line, for one. The secondary is pretty much in the same group even though Shaquill Griffin and Tre Flowers got a lot of snaps in 2018. It remains to be seen just how good they can be.

So who are three players besides Wagner and Wilson that the Seahawks can’t do without? Here is my best.
