A two-time Pro Bowler who was picked 18th overall out of Louisville in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft, Alexander has 12 career interceptions over seven pro seasons.<\/p>\n<p>The Seahawks have Devon Witherspoon, already a two-time Pro Bowler as he enters his third season, along with one-time Pro Bowler Riq Woolen as their starting cornerbacks. But Seattle lacks experience on the depth chart, with the recently re-signed Josh Jobe (nine career starts) having seen the most playing time of the remaining CBs on the roster.<\/p>\n<p>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/sports.mynorthwest.com\/brock-and-salk\/seattle-seahawks-clock-ticking-cornerback-brock-huard\/1812357\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Huard says clock is ticking on Seahawks at cornerback<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Seattle has reportedly looked at free agents Shaquill Griffin, a former Seahawks Pro Bowler, and Rasul Douglas earlier this offseason.

I think you should take a real good look at him.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s one big thing to consider, though.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnly knock on him, as you probably know and mentioned, is that he just can\u2019t stay healthy,\u201d Bumpus said.<\/p>\n<p>On the team\u2019s terms<\/p>\n<p>Alexander played just seven games in each of the 2023 and 2024 seasons due to injury, and only four games in 2021 for the same reason. But he played 16 games in 2022 and 15 games in 2020, both years in which he was named to the Pro Bowl.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis last two seasons (that) he was healthy, he was a Pro Bowl-type of guy,\u201d Bumpus said. \u201c\u2026 It\u2019s gotta be a team-friendly contract. Whoever is negotiating with Alexander, they\u2019re gonna use his past, his injury history to their advantage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There is a benefit to having Jobe on the roster, which is that it could make taking a chance on a player with a checkered injury history a little more palatable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe good thing about this roster right now is, I know no one\u2019s really excited about Josh Jobe, but at least we\u2019ve seen that he can play. So if you were to get an Alexander and he were to get banged up, you have a guy who can take his shoes,\u201d Bumpus said. \u201c\u2026 You sign a one- (or) two-year deal, a prove-it type of deal, something similar to Sam Darnold, I think you take a look at it because it\u2019s about acquiring talent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd we know what (Seahawks coach) Mike Macdonald can do with talent. We saw what he did with Baltimore (as the Ravens\u2019 defensive coordinator). So I\u2019m kicking the tires but I\u2019m not doing anything crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Catch <a href=\"https:\/\/sports.mynorthwest.com\/podcast_results?i=1720&amp;n=Brock+and+Salk\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Brock and Salk<\/a> from 6-10 a.m. and <a href=\"https:\/\/sports.mynorthwest.com\/podcast_results?i=1725&amp;n=Bump+and+Stacy\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bump and Stacy<\/a> from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. weekdays on Seattle Sports.<\/p>\n<p>More on the Seattle Seahawks<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/sports.mynorthwest.com\/nfl\/seattle-seahawks\/seattle-seahawks-linebacker-tyrice-knight-improved-year-2-wyman\/1812863\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Wyman: What looks different about Seahawks LB Tyrice Knight<\/a><br \/>\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/sports.mynorthwest.com\/nfl\/seattle-seahawks\/how-significant-is-seattle-seahawks-perfect-ota-attendance\/1812825\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Seahawks had perfect OTA attendance \u2013 why that matters<\/a><br \/>\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/sports.mynorthwest.com\/bump-and-stacy\/stacy-rost-takeaways-week-seattle-seahawks-otas\/1812823\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Takeaways from a week of Seahawks OTAs | Bump &amp; Stacy<\/a><br \/>\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/sports.mynorthwest.com\/nfl\/seattle-seahawks\/seattle-seahawks-marquez-valdes-scantling-stood-out-ota-bump\/1812808\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Why new Seahawks WR stood out to Bump at OTAs<\/a><br \/>\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/sports.mynorthwest.com\/nfl\/seattle-seahawks\/what-seattle-seahawks-abraham-lucas-said-knee\/1812761\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Seattle Seahawks RT Abe Lucas: \u2018I\u2019m playing \u2013 that\u2019s a good sign\u2019 <\/a><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"twitter-follow-button\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BrentStecker\" data-show-count=\"false\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Follow @BrentStecker<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sports.mynorthwest.com\/newsletters\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-perfmatters-preload=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/SeattleSportsEmail-830x100-1.jpg\" style=\"margin: 0 auto;\" class=\"mobile-signup\"\/>\t&#13;<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/SeattleSportsEmail-830x100-1.jpg\" style=\"margin: 0 auto;\" class=\"desktop-signup\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>                    <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If there\u2019s one spot on the Seattle Seahawks roster where they could use a veteran addition, it\u2019s cornerback.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":117095,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2081],"tags":[7,1631,3932,3930,6,238,237,261,2635,9,3931,1951,1952],"class_list":{"0":"post-117094","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-seattle-seahawks","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-home","10":"tag-mynorthwest-com","11":"tag-mynorthwest-com-seattle-news","12":"tag-nfl","13":"tag-seahawks","14":"tag-seattle","15":"tag-seattle-seahawks","16":"tag-seattleseahawks","17":"tag-sports","18":"tag-talk-and-community","19":"tag-traffic","20":"tag-weather"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114655663469742592","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117094","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=117094"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117094\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/117095"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=117094"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=117094"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=117094"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
