The Seahawks re-signed tight finish Jacob Hollister.
The Seattle Seahawks have re-signed tight finish Jacob Hollister retaining one other younger offensive weapon in Seattle. The signing makes the tight finish group even deeper after the group struggled for depth on the place in 2019.
Hollister grew to become the Seahawks beginning tight finish after Will Dissly went down with a season-ending harm.

“He’s only a actually good ball participant,” Carroll famous, per Yahoo Sports activities. “He’s robust as hell. He’s delivering blows and taking hits. Competing like loopy. It exhibits up. When a man is absolutely good on particular groups and he offers nice effort in blocking and he catches the soccer, that’s a whole package deal man…I believe Jacob goes to be an amazing asset for us taking place there. I don’t suppose that is any fluke or something,”
Dissly Is “Killing” His Rehab
Whereas nothing is assured, Dissly is anticipated to make a full restoration from an Achilles harm he sustained in Week 6 in 2019. It sounds just like the Seahawks predict Dissly again for the beginning of the 2020 season.

He’s spending a while down in LA to get proper, and he’s actually fired up in regards to the those who he’s working with and the progress he’s making. He’s been round lots. He’ll get it accomplished. Will will get it accomplished. There’s no query he’ll. However, it’s a protracted course of, it’s going to be some robust work for him.”
Olsen Referred to as the Seahawks a “Excellent Alternative”
Russell Wilson made no secret about the truth that he wished the Seahawks so as to add Olsen this offseason. Wilson publicly recruited Olsen on social media previous to his eventual signing with Seattle. Olsen referred to the scenario with the Seahawks as a “good alternative.”
“Clearly the soccer half was a no brainer, however (my representatives and household) mentioned, we have been on the lookout for the proper alternative and we weren’t seeking to pressure something,” Olsen defined to ESPN 710 Seattle. “Between the fan base and the town and clearly the sustained success they’ve had on the sphere and then you definately issue within the coach and the quarterback and there’s not an entire lot that they’re lacking and that was actually interesting to me.”
Carroll famous that he expects Olsen and Dissly to share the sphere collectively. Each gamers have battled accidents, so Hollister’s presence offers the Seahawks insurance coverage on the place.
“I don’t suppose there’s any query,” Carroll defined to ESPN. “… [Dissly] was thrilled to listen to that Greg was coming, for apparent causes, as a result of he desires to be nice and he desires to find out how he can be taught from Greg. They’ll each play on the sphere on the similar time, I’m positive, and I’m excited to see that occur.”
