The Seattle Seahawks used the NFL draft and free agency to add depth virtually everywhere on their depth chart.

With about three months remaining until the start of the season, the team will have a lot of players competing at each position for one of the 53 spots on the Seahawks roster.

However, that doesn’t mean they won’t be looking to add even more competition at key positions. That could include the cornerback spot, where the two incumbent starters – Shaquill Griffin and Tre Flowers – remain virtually unchallenged for their starting roles.

That is, unless the Seahawks make a move. Should they look to do so, one option they could explore is a trade with the Lions to bring in Pro Bowl corner Darius Slay.

Slay, 28, made it very clear on his Instagram account that he does not plan to report to Detroit’s mandatory minicamp. He still has two years and just over $23 million remaining on his contract, but if he is already threatening to hold out, it is certainly plausible the Lions will look to trade him to someone with more cap space – like the Seahawks.

Slay has made the Pro Bowl in each of the last two seasons, and was an All-Pro in 2017 when he led the league with eight interceptions and 26 passes defended. He would immediately become Seattle’s top option at cornerback, leaving Flowers and Griffin to compete for the other starting spot.

Both Griffin and Flowers looked promising in their rookie seasons, but Griffin took a big step backward in his second year.

Free agent Jamar Taylor was the team’s only cornerback addition, which means they are relying heavily on the two youngsters to perform well next season.

The Seahawks currently have 12 projected picks in the 2020 NFL draft, so they definitely have the capital to swing a deal for Slay. They also have over $28 million in remaining cap space, so getting a deal done with Slay could be accomplished as well – if the team is willing to spend money in the secondary.

The Seahawks currently rank dead last in the league in spending at the cornerback position, so splurging on an elite talent like Slay is something that could be on their minds as they put the finishing touches on their roster heading into training camp.
