After releasing safeties Jamal Adams and Quandre Diggs prior to free agency, the Seattle Seahawks addressed the position in a big way on Wednesday.
According to multiple reports , the Seahawks are signing veteran safety Rayshawn Jenkins to a two-year deal. No financial details have been released at this time.
Jenkins, 30, has spent the past three seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars. He's become a big part of the Jacksonville defense, recording at least 100 total tackles in each of the past two seasons. He has started all 48 games he's appeared in for the Jaguars.
Before that, Jenkins spent the first four years of his career with the Los Angeles Chargers. The 2017 fourth-round pick out of Miami saw limited playing time in his first two seasons, but developed into a full-time starter by Year 3.
Jenkins has 10 career interceptions in seven NFL seasons, with half of them coming in the past two years.
With the Seahawks having such a big need at safety, Jenkins should be a key part of the defense next season.
