The Seattle Seahawks defense some big holes to fill in the offseason. These are our top free agent candidates.
Sunday, the NFL wraps up another season. The next important date 12s have to look forward to is March 27, when free agency starts. Unfortunately, the Seattle Seahawks don’t have much money to spend due to a lower salary cap. It will take some tough decisions for the Seahawks to bring back their internal free agents, not to mention adding talent from the outside.
Because of the pandemic, the cap should drop a little over 11 percent or somewhere around $22.2M. That means depending on who you believe; the Seattle Seahawks have between $2.84M (overthecap.com) and 3.59M (spotrac.com) to work with. It’s not what they estimated when they put the 2020 team together.
With key players such as Chris Carson, Carlos Hyde, and David Moore about to hit the open market, the Seattle Seahawks have some big holes to fill. Our recent articles addressed filling the roster.
The offensive line is in worse shape. Incumbent starters Mike Iupati (left guard) and Ethan Pocic (center) are free agents. To make matters worse, two key backup interior offensive linemen Jordan Simmons, and Phil Haynes, also hit free agency when the league calendar turns to the new year.
