4 cornerbacks that the Seahawks should consider signing

Player 3: Prince Amukamara

The Bears surprised me this offseason when they released Prince Amukamara. From all the games and tape I have watched, he looked solid.

He does a very nice job of keeping the defender in front of him without allowing too much space. This is where Tre Flowers struggles. He keeps the receiver in front of him but allows far too much space to be generated. This leaves the curl and comeback routes to be open all day.

Amukamara’s ability to mirror the receiver allows him a high chance of making a play on the ball. Over the last two seasons, Amukamara has 22 passes defended. He has done this through solid technique and ability to stay glued to his receiver. During that same span, he has 3 forced fumbles and 3 interceptions as well.

There are a hand full of teams that want to bring him in. So, this would likely be the most expensive of the cornerbacks to sign. However, he would also be the closest to a ‘sure thing.’

One thing is clear, if Dunbar is forced to stay on the sideline, Amukamara would be an instant upgrade over Flowers. He would undoubtedly bring playmaking to the secondary and force the receivers to work harder to get open.
