The Seahawks let several starters walk in free agency this offseason. On the bummer side of the ledger, most fans were sad to see Bobby Wagner and Quandre Diggs walk. On the other hand, most were comfortable with allowing Damien Lewis to leave and sign with the Panthers considering what he was able to get on his new contract.

Projected starter Laken Tomlinson is only making $1.2 million this year, while Lewis is getting more than 10 times that amount from the Panthers. Let’s see how they all stack up. Here are the 32 highest-paid left guards in the league going into the 2024 season – contract numbers are from Over the Cap.
