Knowing they were going to have to move on from Doug Baldwin, the Seahawks went heavy with wide receivers in the draft this year. The team took the physical specimen D.K. Metcalf in the second round, West Virginia’s Gary Jennings in the fourth round and then traded back into the seventh round to take John Ursua from Hawaii.

While Ursua, like most seventh-round picks, isn’t guaranteed a spot on the roster or a regular workload, I predicted that Metcalf and Jennings would both be regular starters this season alongside Tyler Lockett for Seattle. Considering that David Moore would then slide to fourth on the depth chart (he was third last year), the highest Jaron Brown would be on my projected depth chart is fifth.

Brown’s best season came in 2017, his final year in Arizona when he recorded 31 receptions, 477 yards and four touchdowns. That is his only season, in his six-year career, with over 250 receiving yards.

Last season, Brown recorded just 14 receptions, 166 yards, and five touchdowns in Seattle. Brown is due $2.5 million in base salary this season, along with a $975,000 signing bonus. Considering all of their other, younger options, the Seahawks might decide to just part ways with Brown, who is already 29 years old.
