The Seattle Seahawks have an imposing wide receiver duo featuring DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett.
Last season, Lockett finished with 1,175 yards and eight touchdowns.
Meanwhile, Metcalf had 967 yards and 12 touchdowns.
Those are impressive numbers, considering that then-quarterback Russell Wilson had to deal with constant pressure from the defense because of their faulty offensive line.
Lockett and Metcalf also provide a perfect contrast to their emerging running back, Rashaad Penny.
Those three players will lead Seattle’s charge in generating points on the board.
However, the Seahawks added more firepower to their passing game by adding a veteran wideout.
The Seahawks will fill their open roster spot with WR Marquise Goodwin, I'm told. Goodwin, 31, would add speed to the room. Vertical threat at a time when Pete wants to launch it deep with whoever plays QB. Goodwin had 20 catches for 313 yards and 1 TD with the Bears last season.

The Athletic’s Michael-Shawn Dugar tweeted, “The Seahawks will fill their open roster spot with WR Marquise Goodwin, I’m told. Goodwin, 31, would add speed to the room. Vertical threat at a time when Pete wants to launch it deep with whoever plays QB. Goodwin had 20 catches for 313 yards and 1 TD with the Bears last season.”
Goodwin is a ten-year veteran that has played for four teams before joining the Seahawks.
He was drafted by the Buffalo Bills in 2013 and has also played for the San Francisco 49ers, Philadelphia Eagles, and Chicago Bears.
Last season, he played 14 games for the Bears, finishing with 313 yards and a touchdown.
His best season came in 2017 when he had 962 yards and two touchdowns for the 49ers.
Who Will Be Seattle’s Quarterback?
While Goodwin is an additional target that can stretch the field, it’s still uncertain who will deliver the ball to him, Lockett, and Metcalf.
The Seahawks got Drew Lock from the trade that sent Wilson to the Denver Broncos.
He could be the team’s starter, unless Geno Smith proves himself to be the better option.
Jacob Eason might also have a say in the competition for the starting role.
Seattle should settle their depth chart under center to give the starter more time to mesh with his receivers.
