Seahawks to sign ex-Dolphins, Cowboys, Commanders 1st-round CB bust

The Seattle Seahawks are looking to reshape their roster in the wake of a strong Super Bowl tax. Kenneth Walker, Coby Bryant, Boye Mafe, and Riq Woolen are all gone.

Losing such key players in free agency is a tough blow, but the Seahawks have been making moves to counter those losses. Rashid Shaheed is back, running back Emmanuel Wilson was signed, and now a cornerback has been added to help replace Woolen.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Seahawks are signing former Washington Commanders, Dallas Cowboys, and Miami Dolphins first-round bust cornerback Noah Igbinoghene to a free agent contract.

"Seahawks signed former Washington Commanders cornerback Noah Igbinoghene," Schefter reported.

Igbinoghene is a 26-year-old cornerback who's been in the NFL since being selected 30th overall by the Dolphins in the 2020 NFL Draft.

He's started 17 games in his six-years in the league, with 12 coming with the Commanders over the last two seasons. He also made two playoff starts for Washington in 2024.

So far in his NFL career, Igbinoghene has one interception, back in 2022 with the Dolphins, and 17 passes defended.

He also has one sack and two fumble recoveries to go with 119 total tackles, two tackles for loss, and two quarterback hits.

In pass coverage, Igbinoghene has allowed a passer rating of 96.3 in his NFL career. However, he's been a good bit better lately.

This past season, he allowed a 90.2 passer rating, and in 2024, he allowed an 86.4 passer rating. With the Dolphins, his passer rating allowed was 113.1, while with the Commanders, his most recent team, he allowed a 87.5 passer rating.

Igbinoghene is a cheap option to add depth to the cornerback room. While he might not be a direct replacement for Woolen, especially since Josh Jobe re-signed for three years, Igbinoghene could be a quality depth option in the best defense he's ever played for.
