The Seattle Seahawks will enter training camp with continuity across the offensive line. For the second straight season, the starting lineup is expected to feature, from left to right, Charles Cross, Grey Zabel, Jalen Sundell, Anthony Bradford, and Abe Lucas. If there's any competition at all, rookie guard Beau Stephens might push Bradford for the right guard gig.
Meanwhile Sundell has established himself as the unquestioned starter at center. That leaves backup Olu Oluwatimi, who was once viewed as the future starter, in no-man's land. Oluwatimi could be traded this offseason as a result, according to a recent report by ESPN's Brady Henderson.
"One potential trade candidate to watch this summer will be center Olu Oluwatimi," Henderson wrote. "The 2023 fifth-round pick is entering the final year of his rookie contract and is slated to again back up Jalen Sundell, who beat him out for the job last summer."
If the Seahawks trade Oluwatimi, they'd have to cross-train someone to snap behind Sundell. Perhaps that would be 2024 third-round pick Christian Haynes, who is another backup offensive lineman falling by the wayside. Oluwatimi has value to the Seahawks, but trading him could ensure John Schneider gets something for a player in the final year of his rookie contract.
