The Seahawks Just Wrapped Up Free Agency In Two Weeks. Here's Who Stayed and Who Left.
Well, that was fast. The 2026 NFL free agency period officially started on March 11, and less than two weeks later, the Seattle Seahawks have already sorted out their entire free agent class. All 18 players from the active roster and injury reserve are now accounted for, either staying in green and blue or heading elsewhere. This has to be one of the cleanest, most straightforward free agency periods you could ask for.
The Ones Who Stayed
Here's the good news: 13 of the 18 free agents re-signed with the team. That's the overwhelming majority, and it speaks volumes about the organization's ability to keep their own.
On the unrestricted side, the Seahawks brought back some key pieces. Josh Jobe inked a three-year deal worth $24 million to stay at cornerback. Rashid Shaheed, a massive receiver in this offense, signed a three-year contract for $51 million. Josh Jones came back for one year at $4 million, and Chazz Surratt rounded out the unrestricted free agents who stayed.
The restricted free agents tell a similar story. Drake Thomas locked in a two-year, $8 million deal at linebacker. Long snapper Chris Stoll got two years and $2.9 million. Jake Bobo matched a two-year, $5.5 million offer sheet from Jacksonville to stay put. A.J. Finley signed for one year at $1.075 million, Brandon Pili got one year and $2 million, Brady Russell took a two-year deal for $4.8 million, and Cody White signed a one-year contract for $1.145 million. On the exclusive rights side, George Holani and Ty Okada both inked their one-year tenders.
Who Left the Building
Not everyone stayed, though. Five unrestricted free agents headed out the door. Dareke Young signed with Las Vegas on a one-year, $1.802 million deal. Cornerback Riq Woolen landed with Philadelphia on a one-year, $12 million contract. Running back Kenneth Walker went to Kansas City on a three-year, $43.05 million deal. Safety Coby Bryant signed with Chicago for three years and $40 million. And outside linebacker Boye Mafe went to Cincinnati on a three-year, $60 million contract.
What's Next
With free agency basically wrapped up by late March, Mike Macdonald and the coaching staff can now shift their entire focus to the NFL Draft on April 23. Expect the organization to prioritize filling holes on the roster and maybe, just maybe, working on that Devon Witherspoon extension to complement Jaxon Smith-Njigba's record-breaking deal. The work is far from over, but at least the free agent chaos is settled.
