The Seahawks have signed former Eagles, Cardinals and Titans defensive back K’Von Wallace. It’s a one-year deal, according to Tom Pelissero at NFL Network.
Wallace (5-foot-11, 205 pounds) played his college ball at Clemson, where he totaled five interceptions in 45 games. He was then picked by Philadelphia in the fourth round of the 2020 NFL draft. Wallace spent three seasons with the Eagles, appearing in 45 games but only getting seven starts. From there, he moved on to the Cardinals for one season, and last season he was with the Titans. All together he has played in 62 NFL games with 19 starts.
Signing Wallace continues the Seahawks’ theme of adding diverse coverage players for the back end of their defense. Like Rayshawn Jenkins, he’s gotten high grades for his coverage and he can play multiple positions.
Seattle may no longer need to pick a safety in the 2024 NFL draft, with Jenkins and Wallace effectively replacing Quandre Diggs and Jamal Adams. Seattle still has plenty of youth at this spot on their depth chart in Jerrick Reed, Coby Bryant and Ty Okada.
