It’s a reunion type of day: The #Seahawks are bringing back old friend and DE Bruce Irvin, source said. The former first-round draft pick heads home to Seattle.

[stbugs]

Yeah, we got our 4th rounder back! Van Roten and maybe some other dude like Hogan to cancel out the stud that is Seth Roberts.

Panthers defense is depleted as expected: Gerald McCoy - Cowboys Vernon Butler - Bills Mario Addison - Bills Dontari Poe - Opt. Declined Luke Kuechly- Retired James Bradberry - Giants Eric Reid - Released 7/11 starters no longer with team. Bruce Irvin likely next up.

We might field the worst defense in NFL history next year .

LOL @ anyone thinking we are going to get multiple Comp picks.

People keep saying this but we literally just fielded one of the worst defenses this franchise has seen with all 8 of these guys starting for us. 
 

Will it be any better? Likely not. But let’s quit pretending we had a defense to be reckoned with last year. As a whole it looked great on paper but ultimately and collectively fell on its ass.

BRUCE IRVINDL, SEATTLE SEAHAWKS

Seahawks signed LB Bruce Irvin, formerly of the Panthers.

It's a reunion of sorts as Seattle initially selected Irvin as the No. 15 overall pick in the 2012 draft. Despite missing Carolina's first three games with a nagging soft tissue injury last year, the feisty EDGE rusher exploded for a career-high 8.5 sacks in 13 contests across from rookie Brian Burns. The 32-year-old addition is a terrific get for the organization considering Jadeveon Clowney's return remains up in the air.

This 100%.  We lost a lot of names, and I'm certainly not excited about our prospects on defense next year, but the guys we had last year weren't getting it done either.

Exactly! If you are going to be bad, I would rather play young up and comers and draft picks and develop guys who will be better in a few years as you start to add studs in the draft.

Who's the current record holder? Serious question.  It will be interesting to compare the stats as the season progresses.

Google gave me this...

 

Who Dat! 7,042 yards of pure trash defense in 2012
