Von Miller

Von Miller would add extra help for Carlos Dunlap in the pass rush, along with a veteran presence to help young defensive end Darrell Taylor. His impact on the field has been tremendous for the Rams, as he has caused headaches for opposing offensive lines when teams tried to double-team Aaron Donald.

Miller had a big impact in the Rams divisional round match-up with the Buccaneers as he had a sack and a forced fumble which the Rams recovered. He would not be a cheap solution given he is currently making over $19 million this season, but he would fill a hole in Seattle’s defense.

Miller had 9.5 sacks this year and has 115.5 sacks for his career. He also has been a three-time all-pro at his position, also has eight pro bowl appearances, and was Super Bowl 50 MVP.  If the Seahawks can afford him, Miller would be the best fit for the Seahawks defensive line, which has lacked punch in recent years.

Miller would add an identity to the defense Seattle has been lacking and give them a playmaker they have been looking for. Miller would provide the Seahawks with the edge rusher they have been missing since Jadeveon Clowney left two years ago.
