Mike Macdonald’s Ravens connections prove handy for the Seattle Seahawks once again. Earlier on Thursday, it was reported that the Seahawks were working out former Baltimore Ravens linebacker Tyus Bowser. He had previously worked out with the Dallas Cowboys, Tennessee Titans and even the Indianapolis Colts.
Now, Bowser has found his next NFL home, and it is in the Emerald City with his former defensive coordinator.

Actually, Seattle is now the only other team Bowser has been linked with. Ever since he broke into the league as a rookie during the 2017 season, Bowser has been a lifeling Baltimore Raven. He was ultimately released this offseason after missing the 2023 campaign due to injury. But when healthy, he can provide legitimate depth to a defensive front.
Seattle has been rather thin at linebacker and pass rush since the injury to Uchenna Nwosu and the trade of linebacker Darrell Taylor. Perhaps Bowser can eventually be brought up and give the Seahawks a boost on defense.
Having someone who is familiar with Macdonald’s defensive scheme is only going to be a positive for a team looking to transition into the next era.
