STM Take
Career range in the tier 7-8 band confirms Forsythe is a backup-or-emergency-starter swing tackle, not a stable RT1 or LT1. The 2024 Seattle tier 8 (#78) followed by the 2025 Raiders tier 7 (#54) shows the change of scenery helped marginally. The 2026 question is whether Forsythe holds the Raiders swing-tackle role for another year or whether his career compresses to roster bubble.
Forsythe came out of Florida as the Seattle Seahawks' 6th-round pick (208th overall) in 2021. He was a developmental backup LT for four seasons in Seattle, taking spot starts when Charles Cross or Duane Brown missed time, then signed with the Las Vegas Raiders in 2025 free agency for a defined swing-tackle role. His STTM career runs tier 7 (#49) in 2023, tier 8 (#78) in 2024 as a Seahawk, then tier 7 (#54) in 2025 with the Raiders.
Strengths
- Five years in the league after going 208th overall plus spot starts at both tackle positions makes him a useful swing-tackle depth piece.
- Marginal improvement from tier 8 (#78) to tier 7 (#54) in the Raiders move shows the change of scenery was a small but real upgrade.
Concerns
- Career STTM range in the tier 7-8 band caps the realistic upside at low-end swing tackle, with no path to a stable starter role demonstrated.
- Limited multi-year rankings history (only 3 STTM appearances in 5 NFL seasons) reflects the structurally limited snap share.
What to watch: Whether Forsythe holds 8 or more starts in 2026 if Las Vegas's tackle situation forces extended starter duty, or whether the role compresses to game-day actives only.
