Seahawks 2022 Free Agency Tracker
As of 9 a.m. PT, the "legal tampering" period of NFL free agency is underway. Players and teams can now negotiate with one another before they're officially able to put pen to paper at 1 p.m. on Wednesday. Preliminary agreements will be made and news of anticipated deals will be reported.
OverTheCap.com currently projects the Seahawks to have $46.2 million in salary cap space—fourth-most in the league. After trading franchise quarterback Russell Wilson and releasing future Hall of Fame linebacker Bobby Wagner last week, it will be interesting to see how general manager John Schneider and company approach the new league year with such financial flexibility. For now, all signs point towards more of a "retooling" of their roster rather than an outright rebuild.
Be sure to stay glued to this page as updates start to flood in regarding the Seahawks.

9:23 AM: Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus is reporting that the market for tackle Brandon Shell is starting to heat up. The Broncos and Seahawks are among the teams interested.

10:33 AM: The Seahawks have reached an agreement to re-sign defensive tackle Al Woods, per his agency. Set to turn 35 later this month, Woods played a key role in Seattle holding opponents to the second fewest yards per carry in 2021. More details on the deal.
11:08 AM: Per Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, cornerback Sidney Jones will be re-signing with the Seahawks.

12:45 PM: The Seahawks have reportedly re-signed tight end Will Dissly to a three-year, $24 million contract, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. The fifth-year man out of Washington has been less of a factor in Seattle's passing game after suffering a pair of significant lower leg injuries in each of his first two seasons, but is still one of the league's best blockers at the position. More details on the deal.

6:55 AM: The Seahawks have made their first outside addition of the offseason, signing cornerback Artie Burns to a one-year, $2 million contract, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. In six starts last year, Burns allowed 12 catches on 22 targets for 143 yards and one touchdown. More details on the deal.
11:08 AM: According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Seahawks have signed former Chargers edge Uchenna Nwosu to a two-year, $20 million contract with $10.5 million guaranteed. As a first-year starter, Nwosu posted career highs in sacks (5.0) and pressures (40) in 2021. More details on the deal.
12:44 PM: Adam Schefter of ESPN is reporting that the Seahawks have come to an agreement with interior offensive lineman Austin Blythe. The six-year veteran out of Iowa played just 12 snaps for the Chiefs in 2021 but was a starter for the Rams from 2018 through 2020. More details on the deal.
1:26 PM: The Seahawks are scheduled to host veteran tackle Trent Brown for a visit on Thursday, per Adam Schefter of ESPN.
