We're Only Two Weeks In and the Seahawks Already Have Their Whole Free Agent Class Figured Out
This is wild. The NFL league year officially started on March 11, and we're not even two weeks into free agency. The Seahawks have already sorted out every single one of their free agents from the active roster and injury reserve. Thirteen of their 18 scheduled free agents stayed in Seattle. That's an overwhelming majority, and it happened faster than you could say "draft prep."
Who Stayed and What They Got Paid
The Seahawks kept most of their depth. Here's the breakdown: nine unrestricted free agents, six restricted free agents, and two exclusive rights free agents came off the Super Bowl winning season. On the unrestricted side, cornerback Josh Jobe signed a three-year deal worth $24 million. Wide receiver Rashid Shaheed stayed put with a three-year, $51 million contract. Offensive lineman Josh Jones took a one-year deal for $4 million, and linebacker Chazz Surratt inked a one-year contract to stick around.
The restricted free agents mostly stayed too. Linebacker Drake Thomas got two years and $8 million. Long snapper Chris Stoll signed for two years at $2.9 million. Wide receiver Jake Bobo had an offer sheet from Jacksonville that the Seahawks matched on a two-year, $5.5 million contract. Safety A.J. Finley signed a one-year deal for $1.075 million. Nose tackle Brandon Pili took one year and $2 million. Fullback/tight end Brady Russell got two years and $4.8 million. Wide receiver Cody White signed a one-year contract worth $1.145 million.
The exclusive rights free agents also stayed. Running back George Holani signed his one-year tender at $1.075 million, and safety Ty Okada took the same at $1.145 million.
Who Left and Where They Went
Not everyone stayed in the Emerald City. Wide receiver Dareke Young signed with the Las Vegas Raiders for a one-year deal worth $1.802 million. Cornerback Riq Woolen headed to Philadelphia on a one-year, $12 million contract. Running back Kenneth Walker is heading to Kansas City on a three-year, $43.05 million deal. Safety Coby Bryant signed with Chicago on a three-year, $40 million contract. Outside linebacker Boye Mafe is joining Cincinnati on a three-year, $60 million contract.
What's next for Seattle? The draft is April 23, and that's going to be the whole focus until then. Oh, and there's also the small matter of getting star cornerback Devon Witherspoon locked up long term, just like Jaxon Smith-Njigba recently got done.
