The Seahawks signed Baker (wrist) to a one-year, $7 million deal Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Baker was released by the Dolphins with a failed injury designation earlier this month, and he's now found a new home in Seattle. The 2018 third-round pick dealt with a wrist injury that forced him to miss four games in 2023, but he was still productive when on the field, recording 78 total tackles, including 1.5 sacks, while also intercepting two passes. Baker is expected to be an integral part of the Seahawks' linebacker corps in 2024, as the team lost both Jordyn Brooks and Bobby Wagner in free agency.

Jerome Baker : Inks deal with Seattle
The Seahawks signed Baker (wrist) to a one-year, $7 million deal Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Baker was released by the Dolphins with a failed injury designation earlier this month, and he's now found a new home in Seattle. The 2018 third-round pick dealt with a wrist injury that forced him to miss four games in 2023, but he was still productive when on the field, recording 78 total tackles, including 1.5 sacks, while also intercepting two passes. Baker is expected to be an integral part of the Seahawks' linebacker corps in 2024, as the team lost both Jordyn Brooks and Bobby Wagner in free agency.
Geno Smith : Won’t face competition from Howell
Seahawks GM John Schneider said Thursday that Smith is "the guy" and fellow QB Sam Howell was brought in to be a backup, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports. That's not exactly surprising given the gaps in both 2023 performance and 2024 compensation between the two quarterbacks, but it'll nonetheless be comforting to anyone counting on Smith to start this upcoming season. It'll be especially good news for Smith if this is Seattle's only big QB move during the offseason, as the team has been mentioned in connection with Justin Fields and various draft prospects. Drafting a QB is definitely still possible, but the trade for Howell is a pretty clear signal that Seattle isn't in on Fields. The team has mostly focused on smaller moves so far this offseason, including re-signing TE Noah Fant and restructuring WR Tyler Lockett's contract. The interior offensive line is a glaring weakness as the roster is currently constructed, but there are still plenty of options to upgrade via both free agency and the 2024 NFL Draft.
Tyrel Dodson : Finds new home in Seattle
The Seahawks agreed to terms on a contract with Dodson on Thursday, Jordan Schultz of BleacherReport.com reports. Dodson will turn 26 years old in June and is coming off the best season of his four-year career last season in Buffalo, finishing with 74 tackles (57 solo), 2.5 sacks, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery across 17 games, including 10 starts. Dodson took on a bigger role following Matt Milano's season-ending leg injury and will now go to Seattle to help offset the departures of Bobby Wagner and Jordyn Brooks.
Sam Howell : Headed for Seattle
The Commanders are sending Howell, a fourth-round draft pick and a sixth-rounder to the Seahawks in exchange for third and fifth-round draft choices, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. With Howell no longer in the mix, Washington figures to use the No. 2 overall pick in April's NFL Draft on a new franchise QB. Meanwhile, Howell, who started all 17 of the Commanders' regular-season games in 2023, fills the void created by Drew Lock's departure in free agency and gives the Seahawks an alternative to incumbent No. 1 signal-caller Geno Smith.
Rayshawn Jenkins : Officially joining Seattle
Jenkins and the Seahawks agreed on a two-year contract, $12 million contract Wednesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports. Jenkins will officially head to Seattle after spending the last three seasons in Jacksonville, most recently recording 101 tackles, including 1.0 sacks, while also intercepting two passes and deflecting nine others over 17 games in 2023. He'll likely replace Quandre Diggs as the team's starting free safety in 2024 after Diggs was released.
Darrell Taylor : Running it back in Seattle
The Seahawks re-signed Taylor on Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports. Taylor is coming off an underwhelming season as a pass-rusher in 2023, when he posted a career-low 5.5 sacks. He'll hope to record his first 10.0-sack season in his fourth year in the league.
George Fant : Sticking around Seattle
Fant and the Seahawks agreed on a contract Wednesday. Fant will stick around Seattle for another season, operating as the team's top swing tackle behind Charles Cross and Abraham Lucas (knee). The 31-year-old has proven to be a capable replacement if called upon to start and his return to the Seahawks provides the team with a security blanket on the offensive line.
Rayshawn Jenkins : Signing with Seahawks
Jenkins with the Seahawks on Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of ESPN reports. Jenkins was released by the Jaguars as a cap casualty earlier this month but will now get another chance in Seattle. The 2017 fourth-round pick tallied 101 tackles (66 solo) and two interceptions in 17 games played last season and should have a chance to compete for the starting safety spot opposite Julian Love.
