Fant came to Seattle in the Russell Wilson trade, and has been a consistent performer for the team since arriving. With the timing of this move and some ongoing contract disputes with players on other teams in the league, one has to wonder if General Manager John Schneider is freeing up money to make a move. The Seahawks now stand with 4th most amount of cap space in the entire NFL.

The national perspective would say the Seahawks aren't yet ready. Vegas projects the Seahawks at 7.5 wins total. People are sleeping on the Seattle. Yet, this is the same team, now a couple years removed from one of the biggest most lopsided trades in NFL history, those collected assets in that deal now developed and ready to roll. This a team that has had three straight winning seasons. Far from far away, the Seattle Seahawks are very close. Let me make my case.

Defenses have skewed towards the recent trend of taking the passing attack away. Offenses across the NFL have begun to use two tight end sets more than ever before, and we are having a revitalization of the fullback position in recent years. It's no wonder new Seahawks Offensive Coordinator Klint Kubiak is making this a big point of emphasis.

Over the past few years the Seattle Seahawks have taken many young talented players very high in the draft. Players who would need to time to reach their final form, their full potential.  That time is now for for a few of them.

Since entering the league in 2018, Alexander has been one of the better cornerbacks in the sport. He can play man or zone, and so is a good fit for Mike Macdonald's scheme. The Seahawks also have plenty of money, though the cost should be somewhat inexpensive considering Alexander's recent injury history. Let's discuss whether this is the right big move to make at this time.
