Seattle Seahawks Free Agent Wishlist Part 2 – Offense

O-Line
David Andrews/Matt Skura – Both guys play center. Ethan Pocic did well last year as Seattle’s starting center. I have no doubt he’ll be brought back as his next contract being too expensive.
The thinking here is to move Ethan Pocic back to his normal position and bring an upgrade at the center spot. Although he was a good run blocker, Pocic often needed help from a guard to handle a tough pass rush. The best way to stop Aaron Donald is to get stronger up the middle. Bringing in a new center and moving Pocic back to guard is the way to do it.
Joe Thuney – It’s no secret that the offensive line needs help. As mentioned earlier, Seattle has several of its own offensive linemen on the market. They are either injury prone (Mike Iupati) or good (Pocic and Cedric Ogbuehi). I believe Iupati’s price tag will be too high for Schneider, considering the handful of games he played last year. Getting a younger and arguably better option in Thuney while retaining Pocic to play center strengthens the interior offensive line.
Kelvin Beachum – It was obvious last season that Brandon Shell can’t hold down the right tackle job with any consistency. Backups Jamarco Jones and Cedric Ogbuehi are not the answer either. At this point, Beachum is the best affordable option, but it might be better to wait on a cap casualty.

So, there you have it, 12s, a free agent wish list for the Seattle Seahawks offense. This article will look genius when these players make it to the market. Or it’ll look not very smart when none or almost all do not. I’ll gladly settle for somewhere in the middle or even just getting one of these signings correct. Who’s on your wish list?
