The Seattle Seahawks hosted safety Ifeatu Melifonwu for a free agent visit as they approach their mandatory minicamp. Melifonwu, a former third-round pick by the Detroit Lions in the 2021 NFL Draft, has struggled with injuries and consistency throughout his career. Last season, he played in 16 games with eight starts for the Miami Dolphins. While no immediate signing is expected, the Seahawks may consider him for depth, especially after losing starter Coby Bryant to the Chicago Bears in free agency. Seattle's safety group includes Nick Emmanwori, Julian Love, and recent second-round pick Bud Clark.
