Seahawks Add Versatile Corner Avery Smith | Seattle Seahawks News

The Seahawks just upgraded their secondary with a savvy trade: they sent a 2027 sixth-rounder to the Chargers for undrafted rookie Avery Smith, a versatile corner who dominated the preseason and brings special teams value. Smith, a four-year Toledo standout, racked up 42 tackles, 11 pass breakups, and even returned a blocked extra point for a two-point conversion. His ability to play nickel and special teams makes him a perfect fit, potentially pushing Nick Emmanwori to safety and opening a role for Igbinoghene at nickel. These moves signal Seattle’s serious push to build a deeper, more flexible defense for the season. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
