Seattle\u2019s only other external free agent signing this offseason has been safety D\u2019Anthony Bell, but he spent most of the 2025 season with the Seahawks before getting picked up by the Carolina Panthers in a mid-December waiver claim, so it appears he\u2019ll keep the No. 23 he wore last year in Seattle.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, linebacker Drake Thomas is switching from No. 42 to No. 32 after his breakout season this past fall. As a result, running back Velus Jones Jr. is switching from No. 32 to No. 33.
