Seahawks Kick Tires on Ex-Dolphins Guard Kion Smith, No Deal Yet

Free-agent guard Kion Smith swung through Seattle for a workout, according to Friday's transaction wire, but the visit hasn't produced a contract as of this writing. The 2021 undrafted lineman out of Division II Fayetteville State is a classic August tryout name — the kind of move that fills a camp roster spot, not a depth chart with any real weight.

Smith's résumé is thin. He spent five seasons attached to the Dolphins in some form after Miami scooped him onto the practice squad in 2021, but he only saw the field in 2023 and 2025. Across 23 career games he owns exactly two starts, both coming in Weeks 2 and 3 of last season, and every one of his offensive snaps in 2025 came at right guard.

Before the guard reps, there was some chatter around Miami about Smith potentially being the team's primary swing tackle — he logged spot duty at both left and right tackle back in 2023. That never fully materialized into a defined role, and he ultimately settled in as an interior fill-in rather than the versatile tackle depth some had projected.

For Seattle, this is a low-stakes look at a body who can survive training camp and maybe compete for a bottom-of-the-roster line spot. Nothing about the profile screams starter, and the Seahawks clearly aren't in a rush to lock him down given the tryout hasn't converted.

Let's be blunt about the fantasy relevance: there isn't any. Interior offensive linemen don't score fantasy points, and a swing guard fighting for a job doesn't move the needle for any Seahawks skill player either. Even if Smith signs, it changes nothing for your Seattle backfield or receiving corps.

The actionable takeaway is simple. There's no add here, no waiver-wire scramble, no ripple effect worth tracking in your lineup. File this one under roster housekeeping and keep scrolling — the only reason to remember the name Kion Smith is if you're a Seahawks diehard watching the trenches battle play out.
