Why Seahawks vs. Raiders is a Jarran Reed showcase game after recent trade interest
Jarran Reed explains how the #Seahawks defense's motto ended up on t-shirts and why it is one of this favorites on with @TheMikeSalk.
Key points
- Next year (’27) will be the first year in three years that Reed’s salary cap hit will exceed his dead cap charge (according to Spotrac), making him an obvious cut candidate at 34 years of age (distressing as it is for all my fellow millennials, ancient, in NFL terms).
- Reed was away from proactive this week, due to a “ personal issue.” Was he mad about the trade rumors?
- Reed is a veteran leader, who is VERY well respected in the Seattle Seahawks’ locker room.
View Link Jarran Reed is obviously not on the same level as Jeffrey Simmons, but, according to PFF, has 6 more pressures on 55 fewer snaps, when compared to Jordan Davis.
Seattle Seahawks defensive lineman Jarran Reed has had an interesting week.
Additional details
- Is it plausible that the Seattle Seahawks could have let their willingness to engage in negotiations leak, when they saw the DT craze taking hold across the league?
- https://t.co/eif2mukIdc pic.twitter.com/6ipbTUEIdV — Seattle Sports (@SeattleSports) July 31, 2026 He got trade buzz at the trade deadline, but nothing happened.
- I wouldn’t be shocked if this was Reed’s biggest game of the current campaign.
- He is the lone remaining vestige of a former “Legion of Boom” roster that is still around, and he may have a chance to show why in the City of Sin.
- Interior defensive linemen were, arguably, the number one position as trade targets this year.
