"The Seahawks are hosting free agent safety Damontae Kazee for a visit today, according to a report by Jeremy Fowler at ESPN.
Kazee comes equipped with a knowledge of Seattle’s defenses, having previously played for former defensive coordinator Dan Quinn with the Falcons and with the Cowboys.
A fifth-round pick by Atlanta in the 2017 NFL draft, Kazee (5-foot-11, 174 pounds) is one of the league’s most underrated safeties. He has excellent speed, range, ball skills and physicality. In 69 career games he’s posted 12 interceptions and 17 pass breakups. Think of him as a Diet Coke Earl Thomas.

If the team does wind up signing Kazee, he would project as the backup behind Quandre Diggs at free safety. Adding Kazee probably rules out them picking any safeties in the draft outside Kyle Hamilton."

Next let’s bring in some Wide Receivers and Tight Ends. Maybe a Punter too. yeesh

They still need an upgrade at WR. Another 6’2” plus prospect. Think I’m crazy, consider what this team might look like with Another DK light threat on one side, opposite of DK and Tyler and Noah Fant rooming the middle. Meanwhile, DeeEsk just ran the fake WR end around. A lot for a defense to think about and to cover.

Another bigger WR keeps defenses honest, and DK clean.

maybe they're moving Jamal to a linebacker position?

Kazee is tiny. I think he's here to compete for/provide depth for the nickel spot.

Bringing someone in does not mean they are signing him.

Exactly. IIRC, the Seahawks secondary play has been suspect the past couple years. Doesn't hurt to check players out.

Plus, who doesn't appreciate some good ole Seahawk news during the offseason

 

[nanomoz]

Another dime / bandit dB. His signing might result in Amadi getting cut.

 

[coorslighthawk]

Great. All for more competition

 

[sutz]

Sometimes JS & PC bring people in as a smoke screed or dodge on what player or position they want to pick early. Somehow I doubt they're looking at DB as a 1st rd option.

 

[Hawkamaniac]

Depth matters. And kicking the tires on reasonably priced veterans is a solid move
