Bryant recorded 73 tackles (48 solo) and six pass defenses, including three interceptions -- one of which was a pick-six -- across 17 games during 2024.
Bryant entered the 2025 season as a special-teams player and a backup defensive back, but he ended up starting in Week 7 and never looked back, starting the final 11 games. The 2022 fourth-round pick mostly played cornerback in college, but his transition to a full-time safety role looks complete. Bryant may need to battle to retain the role in 2025 depending on the Seahawks' offseason moves.

Seahawks' Tyrice Knight: Impresses in second half
Rotowire
Knight recorded 88 tackles (41 solo), including 1.5 sacks, and two pass defenses over 16 games during the 2024 season.
Knight played sparingly to begin the season, but he was named a starter after the Week 10 bye and never looked back, tallying 65 tackles through the final eight games (averaging 8.1 per game). The rookie fourth-round pick probably hasn't done enough to guarantee a starting role in 2025, but he'll be in the competition barring high-end additions to the team this offseason.

Seahawks' Leonard Williams: Hits double-digit sacks again
Rotowire
Williams recorded 64 tackles (37 solo), including 11.0 sacks, and three pass defenses, including a pick-six, across 16 games during the 2024 season.
Williams didn't slow down in his age-30 season, as he put up double-digit sacks for the first time since the 2020 season while adding his first career pick-six -- a 92-yard return. Having signed a three-year deal with the Seahawks in March of 2024, Williams has two years remaining on his contract. As it stands, he'll carry a $29.15 million cap hit in 2025.

Seahawks' Devon Witherspoon: Reaches second straight Pro Bowl
Rotowire
Witherspoon registered 98 tackles (66 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and nine pass defenses across 17 games during the 2024 season.
Witherspoon was the Seahawks' only Pro Bowl player this season, marking his second time earning the honor in as many years. The 2023 first-round pick primarily played in the slot and paid dividends for fantasy managers with a high tackle count once again. He'll undoubtedly be a starter again in 2025 and should draw plenty of fantasy intrigue.

Seahawks' Julian Love: Hits 100-tackle mark again
Rotowire
Love recorded 109 tackles (79 solo), 12 pass defenses (including three interceptions) and two forced fumbles across 17 games during the 2024 season.
Love has now stacked up at least 100 tackles in three straight seasons and at least 10 pass defenses in two straight seasons. The 2019 fourth-round pick signed a three-year contract extension with the Seahawks last summer, locking him in through 2027. Love will likely start at free safety again in 2025 as the Seahawks aim to get back into the playoffs.

Seahawks' Ernest Jones: Hits 100 tackles again
Rotowire
Jones recorded 138 tackles (77 solo) and two pass breakups across 16 games between the Seahawks and Titans in 2024.
Jones recorded 44 tackles through six games with the Titans before being traded to Seattle, where he registered 94 stops to total 138 tackles, 13th in the league. The 2021 third-round pick will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, and with the Seahawks having limited depth at the position, he's a good candidate to re-sign with the team.

Rotowire
Reed finished the 2024 season with 45 total tackles (21 solo), including 4.5 sacks, while also adding two passes defensed and a forced fumble over 17 games.
Reed was able to maintain a high level of play in 2024, reaching at least 43 tackles for the fourth straight year. The 32-year-old is an unrestricted free agent heading into the offseason, and he'll likely have plenty of interested suitors ahead of 2025.

Seahawks' Rayshawn Jenkins: Smaller role following IR stint
Rotowire
Jenkins finished the 2024 regular season with 53 tackles (34 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and a fumble return touchdown across 13 games.
Jenkins signed with the Seahawks in March of 2024 on a two-year, $12 million contract after spending the three previous seasons with the Jaguars. He started at safety alongside Julian Love and played every single defensive snap in the first six games of the regular season. Jenkins registered 38 tackles (26 solo) over that span, and his best play of the year came in Week 5 against the Giants, when he recovered fumble and returned it 102 yards for a touchdown. Jenkins was forced to go on injured reserve in mid-October after undergoing surgery on his hand, and when he returned in late November, he permanently lost his starting role at safety to Coby Bryant. Jenkins and Bryant are set to compete for the second starting safety spot alongside Love for the 2025 campaign when training camp begins in July.

Seahawks' Boye Mafe: Productive campaign in 2024
Rotowire
Mafe finished the 2024 season with 40 total tackles (25 solo), including 6.0 sacks, while adding three passes defensed and a fumble recovery across 15 games.
Mafe rebounded well after a knee injury early in the season, securing at least 6.0 sacks for the second straight year. The linebacker has become a consistent force on Seattle's defense over his three-year NFL career and will be entering the final year of his rookie contract in 2025.

Seahawks' Derick Hall: Eight sacks in 2024
Rotowire
Hall finished the 2024 season with 37 total tackles (20 solo), including 8.0 sacks, while also adding two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery over 17 games.
Hall was a force to be reckoned with in 2024, recording 8.0 sacks after failing to get to the quarterback during his rookie campaign in 2023. Additionally, he was able to notch a scoop and score on a fumble recovery in Week 7 versus the Falcons, returning the loose ball for a 64-yard touchdown. The linebacker appears to be an ascending star for Seattle and will look to build off of his impressive sophomore campaign in the NFL in 2025.
Hankins finished the 2024 season with 30 total tackles (15 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and an interception over 17 games.
Hankins built off of an impressive 2023 campaign with the Cowboys, appearing in all 17 regular-season games with the Seahawks in 2024, snatching his first career interception in the process. The 32-year-old is an unrestricted free agent heading into the offseason, and he'll likely sign a one-year deal with his next destination for the fifth straight year.

Rotowire
Jones finished the 2024 season with 28 tackles (14 solo), including 4.0 sacks, while also adding a pass defensed and a forced fumble across 15 games.
Jones saw his production dip in 2024, recording just 28 takedowns, his lowest total since his rookie campaign in 2019. The linebacker operated as a depth option behind Boye Mafe this season and will likely do so again in 2025, his final year under contract with the Seahawks.

Seahawks' Uchenna Nwosu: Limited by injuries in 2024
Rotowire
Nwosu finished the 2024 season with 14 total tackles (eight solo), including 1.0 sacks, and a pass defensed across six games.
Nwosu was limited by injuries again in 2024, dealing with a knee issue, a thigh injury and a quadriceps injury throughout the year. His 14 total takedowns this season were a career low, while he went without a forced fumble for the first time since the 2020 campaign. The linebacker has appeared in just 12 games over the last two seasons and he'll enter the final year of his contract with the Seahawks in 2025.

Brown sustained a knee injury in the first half, ultimately seeing his day come to an end as a result. The cornerback picked up two tackles (one solo) in the contest before departing. Head coach Mike Macdonald said following the contest that the team will "see how long" the cornerback will be sidelined, potentially suggesting that Brown suffered more than a minor injury. With Seattle eliminated from the playoffs, Brown will finish the season having produced 26 total tackles (21 solo) and a pass defensed over 13 games.

Rotowire
Brown injured his knee Sunday against the Rams and has been ruled out from returning, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Brown was hurt early in the first half and never checked back in. He was ruled out for the remainder of the contest midway through the third period. Brown logged a pair of tackles (one solo) prior to his exit and finishes the campaign with 26 stops and one defensed pass over 13 regular-season games. This was the final season of his rookie contract, so he'll be a free agent upon the conclusion of the campaign.

Woolen (ribs) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Rams.
Woolen is iffy to return for the second half of Sunday's NFC West contest. With Tre Brown (knee) already ruled out for the rest of the contest and Woolen currently sidelined, Nehemiah Pritchett, Artie Burns and Devon Witherspoon will serve as the Seahawks' top corners.
