Noah Igbinoghene, a former first-round pick of the Miami Dolphins, has agreed to a one-year contract with Seattle.
It was no secret that the Seattle Seahawks were going to face an uphill climb in free agency, as the Super Bowl champs were destined to lose more big-name players than they'd sign.
That, as much as anything, is a compliment to the roster that GM John Schneider built.
Of course, we knew that some were destined to move on, and they turned out to be true with Coby Bryant, Kenneth Walker, Boye Mafe, and Riq Woolen all landing with new teams.
And who is coming in? The Seahawks just closed up the first week of NFL free agency by adding a compelling (and lengthy) name.
On Saturday it was learned that Noah Igbinoghene, a former first-round pick of the Miami Dolphins, had agreed to a one-year contract with Seattle.
Igbinoghene (pronounced "ig-bin-AH-ghen-ee'') is the fifth corner on the Seahawks roster as he joins Devon Witherspoon, Josh Jobe, Devon Witherspoon, Nehemiah Pritchett and Shemar Jean-Charles.
Witherspoon and Jobe can hold down the fort in the secondary, no doubt. But depth is needed.
Can Igbinoghene compete for a roster spot in Seattle?
Igbinoghene was a star at Auburn before entering the NFL at the tender age of 20 as a Dolphins first-round pick in 2020. He never quite caught on, and in 2023 he was trade-dumped to the Dallas Cowboys.
He did have one moment of glory there as he scored a TD on a blocked field goal return in his Cowboys debut against the New York Giants.
But he rarely got on the field that year as a cornerback.
Igbinoghene did become a part-time starter with the Commanders in 2024, but in 2025 he made only two starts all season.
He's got one career interception was a game-winner when he was with the Dolphins in 2022.
Igbinoghene (5-11, 197) is still just 26 years old. So there are plenty of reasons for him to continue to plug away at a fruitful NFL career ... an effort that begins anew for him now in Seattle.
