Expecting anything out of this bust of a pick? Could he be a camp casualty?
Now I understand why they are switching to a 3-4. To minimize the bust ability of this former #1 pick!He is a big slow DE with heavy hands.
Good news is in a 3-4 is better suited for him.
He will get a lot of playing time as second string. Make or break season for him

Well, this would be the year for him to prove he was a first round pick, but I thought I read somewhere that he wouldn't really fit that well on our 3-4 defense...
Well, I figure there's a reason why they declined the 5th year option.That's interesting to me, because I remember hearing and reading that the Seahawks wanted to use Collier in the old 4-3 scheme like they used Bennett, as a DE who could play some downs at DT.
It seems to me that's just the right kind of player to be a 3-4 DE. But I'll be the first to say it's nothing more than an intuitive notion I had. If I've misunderstood, I ask that somebody please explain.
That said, Collier pretty clearly appears not to be a starter, and I'm not completely convinced he'll even make the roster this season, but the Seahawks might as well give Collier some playing time in the preseason to protect starters from unnecessary injuries and see if he can be a useful piece in a DL rotation. In either case, it's pretty clear to me that barring some kind of crazy, extremely unlikely turnaround for Collier, he won't be a Seahawk in the 2023 season.
