According to a report from Howard Balzer, the Seattle Seahawks hosted six players for workouts on Monday – including safety Maurice Alexander.

In addition to Alexander, the team also hosted receivers Chad Hansen and Keon Hatcher, quarterback Paxton Lynch, defensive tackle Jamie Meder and cornerback Kalan Reed.

Alexander was with the Seahawks during training camp and the preseason, and was in contention to start alongside Bradley McDougald before Earl Thomas returned from his holdout.

With Thomas out for the remainder of the season, it’s no surprise to see Seattle give Alexander another shot. He started 18 games for the Rams in the last two seasons, racking up 70 tackles and two interceptions. Tedric Thompson is expected to start in Thomas’ absence, but Alexander – if signed – would give the team added depth at a key position going forward.

Among the other names, Paxton Lynch is certainly unexpected. The Seahawks have Brett Hundley backing up Russell Wilson on the active roster, and they have rookie Alex McGough on the practice squad.

Lynch was a first-rounder in 2016, but he has disappointed in his NFL career so far. He’s only made four starts, racking up 79 completions for 792 yards and four touchdowns, along with four interceptions.

Hansen was a fourth-rounder in 2017. The Cal product had nine receptions last season, but was cut in September by the Jets.

Hatcher was an undrafted free agent who caught on with the Raiders in 2017. He appeared in one game this season, but has yet to record a reception.

Meder is a four-year veteran who was cut by the Browns in early September. He started 15 games in 2016, making 48 tackles and one sack.

Reed was placed on the injured reserve by the Titans. He’s played in seven games in his two year career.
