Found this interesting article on Rasheem Green - https://www.si.com/nfl/seahawks/gm-r...-rasheem-green

Why Seattle Should Re-Sign Him
After enduring a difficult, injury-marred 2020 season, Green finally took a major step towards becoming a long-term starter at the base defensive end spot for the Seahawks. Taking advantage of his size, length, and versatility, Pro Football Focus credited him with a career-best 34 quarterback pressures while playing more than 200 snaps reduced inside as a defensive tackle and playing close to 100 snaps classified as an outside linebacker. Defensive coordinator Ken Norton Jr. moved him all over the field and he produced regardless of where Seattle utilized him. He also blocked an extra point and returned it for two points in a loss against Washington. Still just 24 years old, he has ample room for continued development and may just be scratching the surface of his potential as a pass rusher, especially if the team shifts towards a 3-4 schemed approach.
Why Seattle Should Let Him Walk
While Green established new career-highs in sacks, quarterback hits, and pressures, his pass rushing efficiency still leaves something to be desired and those numbers seem to be volume-based rather than clear points of improvement. Per PFF, he produced pressures on only 6.6 percent of his pass rush attempts and finished sixth on the team in their Pass Rush Productivity metric behind the likes of L.J. Collier and Benson Mayowa. Even after playing extensive snaps over the past four years, run defense remains an area of concern for him moving forward, as he continued to struggle with maintaining run fits and gap integrity in the trenches while also missing nine tackles last season.
