Seahawks continue their search for offensive lineman | Notebook

RENTON There was more news Tuesday involving the Seahawks search for a veteran offensive lineman to add in free agency.

But there wasnt a signing.

The Seahawks completed a visit with one potential addition guard Teven Jenkins of the Bears and reportedly set up a visit with another with guard, Dillon Radunz of the Tennessee Titans.

They also saw a player who was linked to them sign elsewhere, former Vikings center Garrett Bradbury, who is headed to the Patriots.

Jenkins, who was the 39 th overall pick of the 2021 NFL draft and had 38 starts with the Bears over the last four years, would probably elicit the most excitement in the fan base of any of the interior offensive linemen who remain available.

As of early Tuesday evening there was no indication that a signing was imminent though that can change quickly.

The main concern of the Seahawks and of all teams is the injury bug Jenkins has dealt with in his career that has caused him to miss 23 games and have to leave a few others early.

Jenkins visit would have included a physical and the Seahawks will have to weigh what they learned as they decide whether to make an offer while Jenkins may consider other suitors, though he had no other visits known as of Tuesday evening.

The Seahawks had former New Orleans and Green Bay guard and center Lucas Patrick in for a visit on Monday and he remains an option, especially since he played last season with the Saints when new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak was the teams OC.

The Seahawks are exploring a few options as it was reported that Radunz was set to visit Tuesday, which would last into Wednesday.

NFL Network first reported the news.

Radunz was the 53 rd overall pick of the 2021 draft out of North Dakota State by the Titans and started 31 games over the last four seasons.

New Seahawks run-game specialist and assistant offensive line coach Justin Outten was with Radunz in Tennessee the past two seasons as running game coordinator in 2023 and tight ends coach in 2024.

Radunz, 26, played all 903 snaps last season at right guard.

Over his career, he has 504 snaps at right tackle, 162 at left tackle and 322 at left guard.

Radunz was rated 234 th on Pro Football Focus list of available free agents.

As for Bradbury, there was speculation the Seahawks might make a run at him because of his ties with Kubiak who was an assistant with the Vikings for three of the six years Bradbury played there and that Bradbury spent last year snapping to new Seahawks quarterback Sam Darold.

It was reported he agreed on a deal with the New England Patriots, a reported two-year contract worth up to $12 million.

Every center who ranks above 195 on Pro Football Focus rating of top free agents has signed with another team.

The Seahawks are thought to think optimistically of the improvements holdovers Olu Oluwatimi and Jalen Sundell will make in the teams new offensive scheme.

They could add a center in the draft.

Three 30 visits reportedly set Things move fast in the NFL this time of year, and no sooner was the first wave of free agency completed than teams began to turn their attention to the draft.

That means hosting prospective draftees for what are termed 30 visits, a reference to every team being able to bring in 30 prospects for an official visit to their complex.

The visits can include physicals and more extended interviews than are allowed at the NFL scouting combine or the Senior Bowl.

On Tuesday, reports stated three players are set for visits with the Seahawks South Carolina safety Nick Emmanwori, Louisville quarterback Tyler Shough and Washington State offensive tackle Esa Pole.

Shoughs scheduled visit was reported by ESPN, Emmanworis by The Athletic and Poles by The Spokesman-Review.

Emmanwori measured 6-foot-3, 220 pounds at the combine while running a 4.38-second 40-yard draft and has been a popular player linked to the Seahawks with their pick in the first round at No.

18.

Shough, who began his career at Oregon and also played at Texas Tech, is considered a likely Day 3 pick, or rounds 4-7.

Pole started all 13 games at left tackle last year for WSU and, according to PFF College, did not allow a sack in 498 pass-blocking snaps while recording the second-best pass-block grade by a tackle in the country (86.7)..
