The Seahawks' Offseason Moves Are Here: Who Did Seattle Actually Land?
The NFL free agency season officially kicked off on March 11, and the moves have been flying fast ever since. ESPN's analytics team is breaking down the biggest signings and trades across the league, and naturally, Seattle's making some noise in the Emerald City. The question everyone's asking: did Mike Macdonald and the front office actually build something special, or did they miss the mark?
Grading the Big Moves
Seth Walder from ESPN is doing the heavy lifting here, evaluating all 60-plus major signings and trades from the first wave of free agency. He's looking at multiple factors for each deal: on-field impact, salary cap fit, and whether the move actually makes sense for a contender trying to compete in 2026. The Seahawks, coming off a season where they had to let some serious talent walk, are under the microscope.
Where Does Seattle Stand?
The big question hanging over Lumen Field right now is straightforward: after losing key pieces from last year's roster, what's the plan at running back? That's the kind of hole that keeps coordinators like Brian Fleury up at night. Sam Darnold is your guy at QB, and you've got weapons in Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Rashid Shaheed, and Cooper Kupp to throw to. But the ground game? That's where the real work happens in the offseason.
Walder's grades will tell us whether the front office filled the gaps or just kicked the can down the road. In a competitive NFC West, every move matters. The 49ers, Rams, and Cardinals aren't waiting around, and neither can Seattle.
What's Next for the Hawks?
As we head deeper into March and teams finalize their rosters, watch how the Seahawks respond. The free agency frenzy is just getting started, and there's still plenty of time to make a splash or patch a leak. For Seattle fans, the real question is simple: did we get better or did we just rearrange the deck chairs? We'll know soon enough.
