What happened: Free agent safety Ifeatu Melifonwu worked out for the Seattle Seahawks on Monday as the team evaluates veteran additions to its secondary. While a signing is not yet imminent, the workout comes just one day before the start of Seattle's mandatory minicamp on June 9.
Why it matters: Seattle is looking to bolster a safety group led by Julian Love and Ty Okada following the departure of Coby Bryant in free agency. Melifonwu, a former third-round pick, offers the positional versatility head coach Mike Macdonald prizes, having experience at both safety and cornerback during his time with the Lions and Dolphins.
By the numbers: Melifonwu is coming off a 0 sack, and one interception across 16 games. Despite his production, he has faced durability challenges, missing 21 games over his first four NFL seasons due to various injuries.
What to watch: The Seahawks will proceed with mandatory minicamp this week and could revisit a deal for Melifonwu later in the summer if they seek additional veteran competition for training camp.
