Seahawks Trade for Avery Smith | Seattle Seahawks News

The Seahawks just pulled off a savvy move, trading for undrafted rookie Avery Smith — a slot cornerback who played under John Harbaugh in LA and now joins Mike Macdonald’s defense, where trust runs deep. With three new corners on the roster (including injury-prone Trevon Diggs and legal holdout Terrion Arnold), Seattle is clearly hedging its bets to fix a shaky secondary. Smith’s preseason stats were mixed — he allowed big QB ratings and picked up penalties — but his size and pedigree suggest he’ll be best used in special teams or as depth. Don’t expect him to displace starters like Devon Witherspoon anytime soon, but this move signals serious intent to build a reliable corner corps from the ground up.
