Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network reports (via Twitter) that the Seahawks and guard Chance Warmack have come to terms on an agreement. Warmack, a first-round pick out of Alabama in the 2013 NFL Draft, once was one of the best young guards in the league but has only played 7 snaps over the past two seasons. The deal spans one season, according to Brady Henderson of ESPN (via Twitter).
The tenth overall selection by the Titans, Warmack immediately entered Tennessee’s starting lineup and graded as a well-above-average guard (per Pro Football Focus) for the first three seasons of his career. However, the combination of injuries and poor play quickly derailed a once-promising career.
After a difficult 2016 season, the Titans declined Warmack’s fifth-year option. When he became a free agent, the Eagles gave Warmack an opportunity, but he failed to replicate his early-career success and was relegated to backup duty. The Seahawks, whose struggles along the offensive line have been well documented, will surely give Warmack a chance to regain his old form.
Seattle taking a big chance here with this signing
Low risk high reward is how they see it I bet
Pete loves his former 1st round draft bust O-lineman.
Nothing can be worse than Joekel
Where has he been the last two years? This sounds like a real reach.
This is probably a league minimum deal so no harm in kicking the tires
