The Seahawks have been a very successful team over the last 10 years. But here are three players who have outstayed their welcome in Seattle.

The Seattle Seahawks have a good roster, young and talented. But like most teams, Seattle seems to have players who show up every season on the opening day roster and makes 12s think, What do these guys have to offer? How can they help the team win a Super Bowl?

In fact, some players on the most recent Seattle rosters might actually hurt the team if they have to play. Couldn’t the Seahawks have found someone else to help fill the roster? Here are three players that Seattle needs to replace before week one of 2020.

Lano Hill

Lano Hill is a true strong safety. But that isn’t really a good thing. Seattle likes versatility among all its units. Most offensive linemen can play multiple positions, for instance. Among safeties, starters Quandre Diggs and Bradley McDougald can play both free and strong safety. Hill can play only strong.

And Hill doesn’t do that very well. He is slow. Any player with a decent amount of speed who gets down the sideline on a run and has Hill trying to play the angle on him as the Seahawks last resort is going to score. That player will outrun Hill.

Still, Hill will likely make this year’s team and should Diggs or McDougald or, heck, even Marquise Blair go down with an injury, Seattle is in trouble. Hill is nowhere near as good as those players and isn’t good enough to be a Seahawk.
