Keeping Track of the Seahawk Free Agency Frenzy

Everett, WALocal News

The Seattle Seahawks are navigating a transformative free agency period in 2025, following notable offseason coaching changes. The franchise has made headlines by trading quarterback Geno Smith to the Las Vegas Raiders, where he is expected to sign a lucrative contract. In return, the Seahawks acquired Sam Darnold from the Minnesota Vikings, who is set to become their new starting quarterback. The departure of star wide receivers DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett has left a significant void, prompting the need for new talent in the receiving corps. The Seahawks have successfully re-signed key defensive players, including Ernest Jones IV and Jarran Reed, to maintain their competitive edge.

With several unrestricted free agents still on the roster, the team has freed up nearly $30 million in cap space, allowing for strategic acquisitions. As they prepare for the upcoming draft, the Seahawks are focused on strengthening their offensive line and offsetting the loss of Metcalf and Lockett. The combination of financial flexibility and draft capital positions the Seahawks for an intriguing offseason ahead.
