Fastest Free Agency Ever: Seahawks Already Done Shopping After Super Bowl 60 Win
Two weeks. That's all it took for the Seahawks to sort out their entire 2026 free agent class. The NFL league year kicked off March 11, and by now, all 18 of Seattle's free agents have either stayed put or moved on. Honestly, it might be the cleanest free agency haul we've ever seen from this team.
Keeping the Core Together
Here's the thing that should make every 12 feel good: 13 of 18 free agents re-signed. That's an overwhelming majority, and it shows the front office knows what worked during that Super Bowl 60 run. On the unrestricted side, cornerback Josh Jobe locked in a 3-year deal worth $24 million, while receiver Rashid Shaheed got paid with a 3-year, $51 million contract. That Shaheed money tells you everything you need to know about how much Seattle values what he brought this season.
Offensive lineman Josh Jones stayed cheap on a 1-year, $4 million deal, and linebacker Chazz Surratt kept things simple with another year. Then there's the restricted free agent crew. Linebacker Drake Thomas signed a 2-year deal worth $8 million. Long snapper Chris Stoll agreed to a 2-year, $2.9 million contract. Receiver Jake Bobo? The Seahawks matched Jacksonville's offer sheet to keep him around on a 2-year, $5.5 million deal. Safety A.J. Finley, nose tackle Brandon Pili, fullback Brady Russell, and receiver Cody White all re-upped on one or two-year contracts. Running back George Holani and safety Ty Okada both signed their exclusive rights tenders.
Who Left the Building
Not everyone stuck around, though. The biggest names heading out were some serious players. Running back Kenneth Walker signed with Kansas City on a 3-year, $43.05 million deal. Linebacker Boye Mafe took his talents to Cincinnati for 3 years and $60 million. Safety Coby Bryant went to Chicago on a 3-year, $40 million deal. Cornerback Riq Woolen landed in Philadelphia on a 1-year, $12 million contract. And receiver Dareke Young joined Las Vegas on a 1-year, $1.802 million deal.
What's Next for Seattle
With all this free agent business settled before April, the Seahawks can lock laser focus on the NFL Draft on April 23. That's where the real work gets done now. Plus, keep an eye on potential extensions. Jaxon Smith-Njigba already got his deal done, and Devon Witherspoon could be next. The front office just proved they can move fast and smart in March. Now let's see what they build in April.
