The Seahawks have acquired safety Shalom Luani from the Raiders, according to Michael Gehlken of the Las Vegas Review Journal (Twitter link). Oakland acquired a 2019 seventh-round pick.
Luani, 24, will now reunite with former Oakland defensive coordinator Ken Norton Jr., who now holds the same position in Seattle. A seventh-round pick in last year’s draft, Luani appeared in 16 games (one start), playing on roughly 17% of the Raiders’ defensive snaps and 68% of the club’s special teams snaps.
As Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times tweets, Luani could help the Seahawks as fellow safety Tedric Thompson deals with injury issues.
