Since the moment the final whistle was blown on the 2024 season for the Seattle Seahawks, the big question for fans and observers has been how the Seahawks would address the issues on the offensive line.
The line was, quite simply, very bad for most of the 2024 campaign, with Geno Smith constantly under pressure and a lack consistent running lanes for Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet, leading to a less than potent ground game.
However, with the legal tampering period opening Monday and teams allowed to negotiate contracts with free agents, the Seahawks are reported to have agreed to terms with a veteran free agent offensive lineman according to Ian Rapoport.
#Ravens versatile OL Josh Jones is expected to sign with the #Seahawks, source says, adding key OL depth. He gets a 1-year deal worth up to $4.75M.

If the name Josh Jones sounds familiar, it’s probably because Seattle fans remember the other Josh Jones, a safety who was with the team during the 2021 and 2022 seasons.
However, this is a different Josh Jones, one who entered the NFL as a third round pick of the Arizona Cardinals in 2020, but was traded to the Houston Texans in a pick swap ahead of the 2023 season, where he spent the year with former Seahawks offensive lineman George Fant. Jones signed with Baltimore in free agency ahead of the 2024 season, and played 46 snaps for the Ravens this past season while providing depth at multiple spots across the line.
