The Seahawks’ salary cap picture for 2024 may look ugly right now. After last night’s simple restructure of Geno Smith’s contract they are about even with the league’s cap limit this year. That doesn’t leave a whole lot of room to maneuver. However, general manager John Schneider still has plenty of options to change the team’s cap picture in a hurry.
Fans should probably expect mostly mid-level signings and bargain hunting in free agency, but we can’t completely rule out a splash signing. Here are 31 pending free agents (one from every other team) that Seattle could consider signing when the market opens next month.
We have included a wide range of options, from big-name, big contract targets to under-the-radar type free agents. Our primary focus was on the interior of both sides of the line of scrimmage, but we didn’t ignore interesting players at any spot except for quarterback – where we would prefer to roll with either Geno Smith, Michael Penix Jr. or nobody.
You may see potential replacements for Leonard Williams, Jamal Adams and Tyler Lockett, a few old familiar faces, a whole host of possible upgrades at guard and just about every high-end pass rusher that’s about to hit the market except for Chris Jones and Josh Allen – who will both most likely be out of Seattle’s price range. Let’s get to the list.
