While most of the attention will go to Seattle’s pass rush this offseason, specifically how they approach retaining star defensive end Frank Clark, the Seahawks will also have some decisions to make with their cornerback group.

Seattle’s starters last season, Tre Flowers and Shaquill Griffin, are both under contract heading into 2019. Presumably, they are both in line to start again – although it is entirely possible they bring in a free agent or a rookie to compete for playing time.

Flowers completed a very solid rookie season, but Griffin took a step backward in year two, only earning a 50.7 grade from Pro Football Focus.

However, two of Seattle’s other cornerbacks, Justin Coleman and Neiko Thorpe, are set to become free agents. Both have proven their value to Seattle, Coleman as a nickelback and Thorpe as a special teams extraordinaire. Thorpe also served as the backup nickelback, so Seattle will need to retain at least one of them or else find someone else to play the spot.

Seattle did see a lot of good things out of backup cornerback Akeem King this season, both on special teams and as a corner when called upon.

Still – it ultimately seems likely that the Seahawks will look to bring back at least one, possibly both, of Coleman and Thorpe for 2019.
