The Seattle Seahawks have made minimal moves at the cornerback position this offseason. General manager John Schneider re-signed Josh Jobe after the former undrafted free agent broke out in 2024. Elsewhere, Tre Brown signed with NFC West rival San Francisco 49ers. For depth purposes, Schneider recently signed free-agent corner Shemar Jean-Charles.
Jean-Charles recorded 14 tackles, one interception and two passes defended in nine appearances for the New Orleans Saints last season. As things stand, Jean-Charles and sophomore corner Nehemiah Pritchett are scheduled to compete for the No. 4 corner role in training camp.
The Seahawks should continue addressing depth at the corner position this offseason.
Devon Witherspoon led the Seahawks in defensive snaps last season at 1,104. Despite battling a nagging injury, Riq Woolen totaled a hefty 890 snaps as well. Jobe should see a snap-count increase after breaking out late to play 443 snaps. Those three will serve as Mike Macdonald's starting cornerback trio in 2025.
Defensive back Coby Bryant is versatile, but has essentially become a full-time safety. Macdonald places a lot of responsibility on his cornerbacks, and Pritchett and Jean-Charles may not provide the defense without enough depth to survive an injury. The Seahawks should continue adding cornerbacks to the roster this offseason.
