Former Pro Bowl linebacker works out for Seahawks

The Seattle Seahawks labored out three free brokers on Friday, one in every of whom was a Professional Bowl choice not too way back.

Linebackers Joe Schobert, Blake Lynch, and middle Marcus Henry all visited Seattle yesterday, however as of this writing none of them has been signed.

Schobert is the very best profile identify on this record, having made the Professional Bowl in 2017 with the Cleveland Browns. The previous Wisconsin star has bounced across the league since leaving Cleveland in 2019, with one-year stints in Jacksonville and Pittsburgh. He was signed by the Denver Broncos in 2022 however didn’t make ultimate cuts. In his Professional Bowl season he tied for the NFL lead in tackles with 144, and apart from 2016 (his rookie season) has had at the very least 100 tackles yearly. I’m curious as to why nobody has signed him, however that could be extra of a commentary on the worth of off-ball linebackers today.

Lynch performed 16 video games for the Minnesota Vikings final season, selecting up a few sacks in restricted snaps and in any other case that includes on particular groups. Henry performed for Boise State in school, was signed by the Dallas Cowboys as a UDFA in 2020, and was final on the Arizona Cardinals in 2021. He’s solely ever appeared in 14 complete snaps.

It’s maybe greater than a coincidence that they labored out linebackers and a middle contemplating the accidents to Cody Barton and Austin Blythe, however each males are off the harm report and are good to go for Sunday.
