The latest injury news about Doug Baldwin — a sports hernia surgery set for April that may mean he is not available until training camp — would seem to only underscore the potential need for Seattle to add a receiver.
The surgery will be Baldwin’s third of the offseason. He turns 31 in September, and the surgery raises the question of if he can ever again reach the kind of form as he did in 2015, when he set a team record with 14 touchdown receptions.

Two are obvious candidates — third-year player David Moore and veteran Jaron Brown, who had the third- and fourth-most receptions of any receivers on the roster last year after Lockett and Baldwin.
