Center competition has been one of the biggest talking points at Seahawks training camp, and it’s not for good reason. BJ Finney, signed as a replacement for Justin Britt, was unable to take full control of the starting station, even working with the third-string attack ahead of last Saturday’s mock game. Ethan Pocic, who changed jobs often in his first three seasons in Seattle, has become a legitimate candidate for the job.
Unless a new (old) addition goes into the mix. According to the league’s trade thread on Wednesday, Justin Britt visited the Seahawks.
Assuming Britt’s knee physically checks and a contract can be made, Seattle will likely bring its longtime starter back to center just months after he leaves. Ready to earn $ 8.5 million in 2020, the Seahawks released Britt with a failed physical designation in April.
Drafted in the second round in 2014, Britt started 16 games at right tackle, then left guard to start his career before moving to center, starting 55 of the next 56 games until a ripped ACL ended his career. season 2019. At the time, it looked like an injury would end his time in Seattle as well. Now it looks like it’s not over yet.
