The first couple of weeks of free agency are in the books despite the coronavirus pandemic sweeping the nation. Teams around the league still found ways to sign players to contract extensions and court new members to the roster.
After the first wave of free agency, Nate Davis of USA TODAY Sports has issued his grades for all 32 clubs from A+ to F. The Seahawks, however, received a grade all their own . . . “I” for incomplete.

“Until the Clowney situation resolves – he’s expressed a desire to remain in the Pacific Northwest – too hard to pin down this grade.” Davis writes. “The trade for Dunbar, additions of TE Greg Olsen and WR Phillip Dorsett, re-signing of DT Jarran Reed and return of LB Bruce Irvin feel ‘B’-worthy in a vacuum. But the Clowney verdict could range this anywhere from A- to C-.”
While the rumors circulate, it’s difficult to come by any real reports of where the two sides stand as far as negotiations are concerned and whether or not there is a true offer on the table.
For now, the incomplete grade is more than fair.
