It Happened Fast: Seahawks Just Locked In Their Entire Free Agent Class
We're not even two weeks into free agency and Seattle has already resolved every single one of their 2026 free agent situations. Thirteen out of 18 players stayed in green and blue, while five headed elsewhere. That's the cleanest offseason wrap up you could ask for after a Super Bowl winning season.
The Keeps: A Seahawks Roster Staying Put
This is the story nobody expected to be this straightforward. The team brought back the overwhelming majority of their free agents. Rashid Shaheed got paid big time with a 3-year, $51 million deal to stay at receiver. Josh Jobe locked in on the back end with a 3-year, $24 million contract. Josh Jones stuck around on the offensive line for one more year at $4 million, and Chazz Surratt stayed at linebacker on a one-year deal.
The restricted free agents mostly stayed put too. Drake Thomas signed a 2-year, $8 million contract at linebacker. Chris Stoll kept his long snapper job with a 2-year, $2.9 million deal. Jake Bobo matched a 2-year, $5.5 million offer sheet from Jacksonville to stay at receiver. A.J. Finley took a 1-year, $1.075 million contract in the secondary. Brandon Pili stayed at nose tackle for 1-year, $2 million. Brady Russell locked in for 2 years and $4.8 million. Cody White grabbed a 1-year deal worth $1.145 million at receiver. On the exclusive rights side, George Holani and Ty Okada both took their one-year tenders.
The Ones That Got Away
Not everyone stayed. Kenneth Walker III headed to Kansas City on a 3-year, $43.05 million deal. Coby Bryant left for Chicago on a 3-year, $40 million contract. Boye Mafe landed in Cincinnati for 3 years and $60 million. Riq Woolen joined the Eagles on a 1-year, $12 million deal. Dareke Young signed with Las Vegas for 1-year, $1.802 million.
What's Next For Seattle
With the free agent class locked down by March 24, Mike Macdonald and the front office can focus entirely on the NFL Draft leading up to April 23. Oh, and there's also the matter of potentially getting Devon Witherspoon locked up long term, just like they did with Jaxon Smith-Njigba recently. The foundation is set. Now it's time to build through the draft.
