In 14 games (four starts) last year, Dorsett finished with 29 receptions for 397 yards and a career-high five touchdowns. The former first-round pick has caught 124 passes for 1,634 yards and 11 touchdowns across 71 games between the Patriots and Colts. Dorsett was a member of New England's Super Bowl LIII-winning team.
CB Quinton Dunbar – The Seahawks acquired Dunbar in March in a trade with Washington for a 2020 fifth-round pick. Dunbar spent his first five seasons with the Redskins, picking off at least one pass every year and accumulating a total of nine interceptions. In 11 starts last season, the corner had 37 tackles (31 solo), one tackle for loss, eight passes defended and a career-high four interceptions.
OL B.J. Finney – Finney was signed as an undrafted free agent by Pittsburgh in 2015. After not playing a single game in his first season, Finney would go on to play at least 13 games each year from 2016-2019. During that span, he played in 59 games with 13 starts, including starts at both left and right guard.
EDGE Bruce Irvin – Irvin began his career in Seattle, playing four seasons with the Seahawks and totaling 22 sacks, 25 tackles for loss and 47 quarterback hits. He then played for three teams over the next four years, including 2.5 seasons with the Raiders. In 2016, Irvin led the NFL with six forced fumbles and followed that up with another four forced fumbles in 2017. In 13 games (12 starts) last year for the Panthers, Irvin recorded 36 tackles (22 solo), 8.5 sacks, eight tackles for loss, 16 quarterback hits, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery, one pass defended and one safety.
OT Brandon Shell – Shell is entering his fifth season in the NFL. The former fifth-round pick played his first four years with the Jets, appearing in 49 games with 40 starts. He started a career-high 14 games at right tackle during the 2018 campaign. In 2019, Shell played 15 games with 11 starts.
OT Cedric Ogbuehi – Ogbuehi comes to Seattle after one season with the Jaguars, in which he played in 14 games with no starts.
