The Seahawks tried their best to sign gargantuan offensive tackle Trent Brown, who we had identified as the top free agent target for Seattle this offseason. Unfortunately, Brown never wanted to leave New England and agreed to re-sign with the Patriots on Monday after getting wooed by Seattle all weekend. Coach Pete Carroll told KJR radio yesterday that the team didn’t get too far on that front.
That leaves the Seahawks in a bad position at OT. Both left tackle Duane Brown and right tackle Brandon Shell are free agents and getting plenty of interest on the open market. Carolina is reportedly pursuing Brown, while Denver is recruiting Shell. Carroll also admitted yesterday that this position is a spot that’s really of concern.
