Poised for consistent role Irvin is expected to play strong-side linebacker on early downs and defensive end in nickel packages in 2020, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports. Impact Irvin returned to Seattle in March after spending the last four years in Oakland, Atlanta and Carolina. Seahawks coach Pete Carroll intends to offer the 32-year-old a considerable workload, with Irvin likely to make his biggest statistical impact as an edge rusher on passing downs. Irvin has plenty of experience playing both linebacker and down lineman, and he's coming off a strong 2019 campaign during which he accrued 36 tackles and a career-high 8.5 sacks.
