He’s not Chandler Jones or Von Miller, but Uchenna Nwosu could bring some real value to the Seahawks’ edge rotation. According to a report by Adam Schefter at ESPN, Seattle has agreed to a two-year, $20 million deal – their most ever annually for an outside free agent – with Nwosu, a 3-4 outside linebacker coming over from the Chargers.
What you need to know about Nwosu is that he’s a versatile defender who can do far more than just rush the passer – although that is probably the main reason Seattle is bringing him in. Here are some of the best clips from Nwosu’s last few seasons that we found on social media.

Uchenna Nwosu had his way with Christian Darrisaw.
Nwosu sells his rush to one side, gives Darrisaw a short stutter, then has a clear path to Kirk Cousins. pic.twitter.com/Ae6ecwK586
