The Seattle Seahawks have made a commerce to assist repair a struggling protection.
Ian Rapoport experiences that Seattle is sending a 2026 sixth-round choose to the Jacksonville Jaguars for defensive lineman Roy Robertson-Harris. That is Seattle’s second commerce with the Jaguars this season, having dealt a 2025 sixth-rounder for outdoor linebacker Trevis Gipson. With the Jaguars at 1-5 and seemingly in complete disarray, this can be an indication that Jacksonville can be commerce deadline sellers in a misplaced season.
Robertson-Harris was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Chicago Bears in 2016, finally making his approach into Chicago’s defensive position rotation in 2018. After staying with the Bears on a second-round tender in 2020, Robertson-Harris was misplaced for the back-end of the season as a consequence of a shoulder harm.
The 31-year-old signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars on a three-year deal in 2021, incomes a beginning function and racking up no less than three sacks and 9 quarterback hits in his first three seasons. Robertson-Harris signed a three-year extension price as much as $30 million within the 2023 offseason, placing him underneath contract via the 2026 season.
By means of six video games, Robertson-Harris has two sacks and 4 QB hits, but it surely’s price noting that this was his first season underneath new defensive coordinator Ryan Nielsen, who switched Jacksonville’s protection from a 3-4 base to a 4-3.
The Seahawks are already at 53 gamers so an accompanying roster transfer will must be made to get RRH on board. It is a shocking transfer given he’s extra generally known as an inside go rusher than run-stopper. Nearly all of his profession snaps (together with this season) have been for go dashing functions. Until Byron Murphy II has had a setback we don’t find out about, this will likely converse extra to the dissatisfaction with a few of the different inside DL decrease on the depth chart.
Robertson-Harris was supposed to remain in London for the Jaguars’ subsequent recreation towards the New England Patriots, however now he’ll be making a really lengthy flight to Seattle earlier than the Seahawks head all the way down to Atlanta to tackle the Falcons.
