The Seattle Seahawks just parted ways with defensive coordinator Ken Norton Jr. this week and the team is already on the hunt for his replacement. Seattle has reported interest in a number of candidates, with a new name thrown into the mix as of Wednesday night according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
“The Seahawks put in a request to interview Cowboys defensive passing game coordinator/secondary Joe Whitt Jr. for their defensive coordinator job, per source,” Pelissero tweeted. “Whitt is a 14-year NFL assistant and widely respected.”
Whitt has spent time with the Falcons, Packers, Browns and Cowboys throughout his professional career.
