The Seattle Seahawks may have won the Super Bowl last season, but that means nothing now. Once the 2026 NFL season starts, every team will be in the same spot, sitting winless and lossless. But the offseason is where championship teams get built, and Seahawks general manager John Schneider is doing his best to put Seattle in a position to repeat.
The Seahawks have their work cut out for them. They’ve already lost offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak to the Raiders. Other losses, like starting cornerback Riq Woolen signing with the Eagles, will lead to roster changes. On Tuesday, the Seahawks may have found their replacement for Woolen.
According to ESPN’s NFL insider Adam Schefter, the Seahawks have signed cornerback Noah Igbinoghene to the roster. No contract details have been provided.
Nevertheless, the Seahawks are getting a 26-year-old former first-round pick in Igbinoghene, the 30th overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. He spent the first three seasons of his career as a member of the Dolphins before being traded to the Cowboys. Once he reached free agency for the first time, Igbinoghene signed with the Commanders, where he’s spent the past two seasons.
Interestingly, Igbinoghene has only started 17 of his 69 appearances in the NFL. Clearly, Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald sees something intriguing in the 5-foot-11, 197-pound cornerback.
Igbinoghene started two of 15 appearances in Washington last season, tallying 35 tackles (1 TFL), five pass deflections, and a sack. He’s recorded one interception in his NFL career, which came in 2022. He’ll surely try to get more opportunities in Seattle.
