The Seahawks made a massive move for their Super Bowl defense, releasing former All-Pro cornerback Trevon Diggs on Friday. This isn’t just a roster shuffle. It comes as our guys are reeling, sitting at a disappointing 3-3 after back-to-back losses that have us looking from the outside in on the NFC West race.
The Struggle is Real for Our Super Bowl Defense
Let’s be real, this isn’t how any of us in the Emerald City pictured the start of the season. After dropping consecutive games to the San Francisco 49ers and the Denver Broncos, we’re in an early hole in the NFC West. We’re on the outside looking in when it comes to playoff positioning, and that’s just a gut punch for a team defending a Super Bowl title. We’ve got to turn this thing around, and fast.
What’s Going Wrong on Offense?
Part of the problem, and let’s not sugarcoat it, is quarterback Sam Darnold. He needs to remember to throw the ball to his teammates, not the other team. Yeah, the protection for Darnold has been rough. “Much to be desired” is an understatement, and the absence of Anthony Bradford for five games has been seriously noticeable on that line. We’re all waiting for any news on Bradford potentially coming off injured reserve, because that unit needs help.
The Diggs Decision: A Bold Move
So, in the midst of all this, the front office made a call. According to a report from Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 Houston, the Seahawks cut Trevon Diggs to free up a roster spot. A former All-Pro, gone. That’s a bold move, especially right now. There’s no word yet on who’s filling that open spot, but you know Field Gulls will be all over it as soon as something drops. This isn’t just clearing space, this is saying: “We need to change something *now*.”
There’s still a ton of season left, and 3-3 isn’t a death sentence. But this move, cutting a big name like Diggs, it screams that the front office knows something has to change. Our Super Bowl defense is on the line, and we need to see what’s next. The Emerald City isn’t ready to wave the white flag just yet. Let’s see who’s coming in to help us right this ship!
