Coby Bryant’s breakout season and playoff returns have reinforced Seattle’s top-ranked scoring defense and increase the odds he’s re-signed. Betting impact: punters may lean toward a Seahawks moneyline or a lower game total in the Super Bowl, and consider player props on Bryant (solo tackles/INT) if he’s active.
Seahawks' Defensive Star Coby Bryant Emerges as Playoff Difference-Maker
Season Stats Signal a Breakout
In 15 regular-season games, safety Coby Bryant compiled 66 total tackles (39 solo), four tackles for loss, seven pass breakups, four interceptions, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery. After converting to full-time free safety this year, Bryant delivered the best on-field production of his NFL career and became a key piece of Seattle’s top-ranked scoring defense.
Injury and Postseason Return
A knee injury late in Week 16 forced Bryant out of the final two regular-season games, but he returned for the playoffs and immediately contributed. In the Seahawks’ playoff wins he recorded six combined tackles (five solo) and a pass breakup, showing both durability and playmaking ability at a crucial time.
Background and Contract Outlook
Drafted in the fourth round (109th overall) in 2022, Bryant is entering free agency this offseason. His on-field production this year has raised his market value—estimates place his potential average annual value in the low-to-mid tens of millions.
The Seahawks head into the offseason with roughly $75.6 million in available cap space, giving the franchise flexibility to either re-sign Bryant, pursue alternatives in free agency, or target a safety in the draft.
Team Implications and Roster Strategy
Bryant’s emergence strengthens Seattle’s defensive identity and creates an internal debate for the front office: prioritize re-signing a proven starter who fits the scheme, or allocate resources elsewhere and chase a similar profile through the draft or free agency. Retaining Bryant would preserve continuity and veteran leadership for the secondary.
Betting Angle: How This Affects Punters
Bryant’s presence and Seattle’s stingy scoring defense push bettors toward Seattle-friendly outcomes.
Expect lines to reflect tightened margins—Seahawks moneyline bets and wagers on lower combined scores could become more attractive, especially in playoff or championship matchups.
For player prop bettors, Bryant’s interception and solo-tackle props may offer value if he’s confirmed active.
