Holy Moly: Seahawks Just Wrapped Up Their Entire Free Agent Class in Less Than Two Weeks
The 2026 free agency period officially kicked off on March 11, and we're not even two weeks in. The Seattle Seahawks have already sorted through their entire free agent class, and honestly, this was about as clean and efficient as it gets. Thirteen of 18 scheduled free agents are staying put in green and blue. That's the kind of offseason that lets you breathe easy and focus on the next big move.
The Ones Who Stayed
Let's talk about the players who are sticking around. The Seahawks kept nine unrestricted free agents, six restricted free agents, and two exclusive rights free agents from their Super Bowl winning roster, and the majority of them re-signed without drama.
On the unrestricted side, cornerback Josh Jobe locked in for three years and $24 million. Wide receiver Rashid Shaheed inked a three-year deal worth $51 million, keeping one of Sam Darnold's go-to targets on the field. Offensive lineman Josh Jones grabbed a one-year contract for $4 million, and linebacker Chazz Surratt signed his own one-year deal.
The restricted free agents showed loyalty too. Linebacker Drake Thomas got two years and $8 million. Long snapper Chris Stoll signed a two-year contract worth $2.9 million. Wide receiver Jake Bobo matched a two-year, $5.5 million offer sheet from the Jaguars to stay in Seattle. Defensive back A.J. Finley locked in for one year at $1.075 million. Nose tackle Brandon Pili grabbed a one-year deal for $2 million. Fullback and tight end Brady Russell signed a two-year contract worth $4.8 million. And wide receiver Cody White took a one-year deal for $1.145 million.
For the exclusive rights free agents, running back George Holani and safety Ty Okada both signed their one-year tenders at $1.075 million and $1.145 million respectively.
The Ones Who Left
Not everyone stayed. Running back Kenneth Walker III is heading to the Kansas City Chiefs on a three-year, $43.05 million contract. Safety Coby Bryant signed with the Chicago Bears for three years and $40 million. Linebacker Boye Mafe is joining the Cincinnati Bengals on a three-year, $60 million deal. Cornerback Riq Woolen landed with the Philadelphia Eagles for one year at $12 million. And wide receiver Dareke Young took a one-year contract with the Las Vegas Raiders for $1.802 million.
What's Next
With free agency basically locked down, the Seahawks can zero in on the NFL Draft, which is coming up fast. There's also the matter of a potential extension for cornerback Devon Witherspoon, which would pair nicely with the extension Jaxon Smith-Njigba just signed. The draft on April 23 is going to be huge for this team's future.
