Tre Brown CB | NYJ
Seahawks' Tre Brown: Makes seven starts in 2023
Brown recorded 34 tackles (29 solo), six pass breakups, two interceptions and a sack across 15 games during the 2023 regular season.
Brown stayed mostly healthy in 2023 and made seven starts, as Brown, Mike Jackson and Artie Burns filled in behind Devon Witherspoon and Riq Woolen. The Seahawks may try to bolster their cornerback room this offseason, but Brown probably showed enough to hang onto a roster spot as he heads into the final year of his contract.

Devin Bush LB | CHI
Seahawks' Devin Bush: Volatile usage in 2023
Bush posted 37 tackles (18 solo) across 13 games during the 2023 regular season.
Bush logged 10 or fewer defensive snaps in seven of 13 games this season, averaging 18.2 defensive snaps overall. Still, Bush racked up a whopping 18 tackles in a Week 17 loss to the Steelers, his former team. He'll turn 26 years old in July and will be a free agent in March, so Bush may look for a starting job elsewhere.

Derick Hall LB | SEA
Seahawks' Derick Hall: No sacks as rookie
Hall posted 38 tackles (18 solo) and a pass breakup across 17 games during the 2023 regular season.
Hall generated 19.5 sacks over his final three seasons at college, but his skillset and remarkable athleticism didn't translate immediately to the NFL. In fact, failing to record a sack at all is cause for concern. However, Hall is still more than two years younger than fellow outside linebacker Boye Mafe, who led the team with nine sacks this season after an underwhelming rookie season in 2022. Thus, Hall has time to develop his skills and become a complete player in the NFL.

Leonard Williams DE | SEA
Seahawks' Leonard Williams: Four sacks with Seahawks
Williams recorded 62 tackles (37 solo), 5.5 sacks and two pass breakups across 18 regular season games between the Giants and Seahawks in 2023.
Williams played 18 games this season because the Giants traded him to the Seahawks midseason, missing both of the team's bye weeks. He tallied four sacks with his new team. Williams, who will be a free agent in March, turns 30 years old in June and it's unclear if he'll stick around under the new regime in Seattle.

Jamal Adams S | LV
Seahawks' Jamal Adams: More injury woes in 2023
Adams (knee) posted 48 tackles (34 solo) and two pass breakups across nine games during the 2023 regular season.
Adams has played just 34 games over four seasons with the Seahawks, including just 10 games over the last two years. The 29-year-old safety has been a consistent starter when healthy, typically stacking up high tackle counts despite showing some lapses in coverage. His current knee injury shouldn't keep him out to start the 2024 season. Adams is signed through the 2025 season, although his contract has outs in each of the next two seasons.

Dre'Mont Jones LB | NE
Seahawks' Dre'Mont Jones: Racks up 49 stops
Jones recorded 49 tackles (26 solo) and 4.5 sacks across 17 games during the 2023 regular season.
This was just the second time in five seasons that Jones played more than 14 games, and it translated into a career high in tackles during his first year in Seattle. However, he posted his lowest sack total since his rookie campaign despite averaging 43.4 snaps per game. He's lined up to start again in 2024 as he goes into the second year of a three-year, $51 million contract.

Tariq Woolen CB | PHI
Seahawks' Riq Woolen: Tackling struggles in 2023
Woolen posted 53 tackles (42 solo), 11 pass breakups and two interceptions across 16 games during the 2023 regular season.
After posting 16 pass breakups and six interceptions, including a pick-six, during his rookie campaign, Woolen took a step back in both categories as a second-year corner. Woolen's tackling was an issue this season that will need to be addressed in 2024 under a new coaching regime, but the UTSA product has flashed enough upside the past two seasons to make him a strong favorite to start next year.

Jarran Reed DT | SEA
Seahawks' Jarran Reed: Impresses in Seattle again
Reed (knee) posted 54 tackles (27 solo), seven sacks, two pass breakups and a forced fumble across 16 games during the 2023 regular season.
This was Reed's first season back in Seattle, and the 2016 second-round pick impressed. Reed missed the season finale but still managed to post a career high in tackles and his most sacks since the 2018 campaign. He's entering the final year of a two-year, $10.8 million contract, so the Seahawks will look to build around the veteran nose tackle on their defensive line.

Quandre Diggs S | SEA
Seahawks' Quandre Diggs: Career high in tackles
Diggs posted 95 tackles (63 solo), five pass breakups and an interception across 17 games during the 2023 regular season.
This was the first time since 2016 -- Diggs' second NFL season -- that he didn't post at least three interceptions, but the veteran safety still managed to post a career high in tackles while playing nearly every snap. He's heading into the final year of a three-year, $39 million contract and should be set up as the Seahawks' starting free safety again in 2024.

Julian Love CB | SEA
Seahawks' Julian Love: Stacks up 123 tackles
Love posted 123 tackles (85 solo), 10 pass breakups and four interceptions across 17 regular season games in 2023.
Love registered career highs in solo tackles, pass breakups and interceptions in his first season with the Seahawks. His snap counts dipped when Jamal Adams (knee) was healthy, but Adams finished the season on injured reserve. Love's ability to step up when Adams was injured makes him a strong candidate to stay with the team for the last year of his contract despite more than $5 million in cap savings if he was cut.
