Four Steals the Seahawks Need to Target Before the Free Agent Well Runs Dry
The Seahawks have Mike Macdonald's first offseason in the books, and while the big moves are done, there is still work to do on the margins. The draft is coming, sure, but smart teams build depth with low-cost free agents who can actually contribute. Here are four guys Seattle should seriously consider signing before March runs out.
Finding Value on the Edge
Everyone knows the Seahawks are chasing edges. It is the difference-making area where they need to get better, and free agency is one way to fill holes without burning premium draft capital. Low-cost veteran pass rushers are out there if you know where to look, and the Hawks have shown they are willing to be creative in how they build this roster. With Brian Fleury calling plays in the offense, the defense needs to be hungry and versatile. This is a spot where a savvy signing could pay dividends.
Depth Everywhere Else
The Seahawks have already proven they are willing to lock up their own. Cody White, that undrafted gem who caught his first career touchdown this past season, just got re-signed. That is the kind of move that builds culture. But there are still gaps on the roster, especially in positions where depth matters. Sam Darnold needs weapons he can trust, and while the wide receiver room includes Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Rashid Shaheed, and Cooper Kupp, competition breeds excellence.
The Draft is Still Coming
Here is the thing: the Seahawks are positioned to have serious ammunition in the 2027 draft. They are currently projected to get four compensatory picks for next year, putting them on track for 12 total draft picks. That is a stockpile. But 2026 still matters. Free agency is not just about splashing money around. It is about finding the right fits at the right price, filling the gaps that drafting cannot cover, and building depth that wins playoff games in December.
The Hawks have a clear direction under Macdonald. Now it is time to sweat the details and sign the role players who make championship rosters tick. There are still four weeks left in the free agent market. Do not sleep on it.
