The Seattle Seahawks have just 10 unrestricted free agents currently scheduled to reach the open market in March. General manager John Schneider has 16 total contracts to address, including restricted (2) and exclusive rights (4) free agents. Of those 16, the following six are offensive players.
Laken Tomlinson | G
Laken Tomlinson was signed to a one-year contract to provide starting-caliber play and experience to the offensive line. Instead, the aging guard struggled mightily, contributing to a horrid interior offensive line. Tomlinson won’t be back, with the Seahawks expected to try and upgrade the protection in front of the quarterbacks.
Pharaoh Brown | TE
Brown consistently made errors throughout 2024, both as a blocker and pass catcher. Noah Fant and AJ Barner are under contract at tight end for the Seahawks. Brown shouldn’t be re-signed by Schneider.
Stone Forsythe | OT
Right tackle was a revolving door for the Seahawks while waiting for Abe Lucas to return from injury. Forsythe received his opportunity via five starts, struggling mightily and failing to play himself into a longer-term role. Schneider should attempt to upgrade the swing tackle position this offseason.
Jaelen Darden (restricted) | WR/KR
Darden helped steady Seattle’s special teams return units following the releases of Laviska Shenault and Dee Williams. Darden was the Seahawks’ best return-man in 2024. Given the early-season difficulties, he should be back in 2025.
Brady Russell (ERFA) | TE
Russell was sidelined for approximately half of the 2024 campaign with a foot injury. Prior to his injury, Russell was a starting special teamer, and former offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb sometimes used him in goal line packages. The Seahawks will probably take advantage of his exclusive rights free agent (ERFA) status to retain him.
Cody White (ERFA) | WR
White has been a back-end-of-roster receiver for the Seahawks. He’s occasionally been a contributor when afforded opportunities. White is a willing special teams performer, so re-signing his versatile services ahead of training camp remains a realistic outcome.
