In a surprising move, the Seattle Seahawks have announced the trade of Assistant Head Coach Leslie Frazier, signing him to a new 4-year contract with his new team. The veteran coach, known for his defensive expertise, has been a key part of the Seahawks’ coaching staff and will now take on a significant role elsewhere.
Details of the trade, including the team Frazier is heading to, have yet to be fully disclosed. However, sources close to the situation indicate that Frazier will be taking on a prominent position, possibly as a defensive coordinator or similar role, where his leadership and experience will be highly valued.
Frazier, who has had a long and distinguished career in the NFL, joined the Seahawks coaching staff after previously serving as the defensive coordinator for the Buffalo Bills. His impact on Seattle’s defense has been notable, with the team showing significant improvement in various defensive metrics during his tenure.
In a statement, Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll praised Frazier for his contributions to the team. “Leslie has been an incredible asset to our coaching staff. His leadership and knowledge of the game have been invaluable. While we’re sad to see him go, we wish him nothing but the best in his new role.”
The Seahawks are expected to begin the search for a replacement immediately, with the aim of continuing the momentum built under Frazier’s guidance.
