Seahawks have 0 free agents on Top 50 list

NFL free agency is slated to begin in March. It may be a quiet month for the Seattle Seahawks, who only possess 10 unrestricted free agents and 16 total players with contracts that require addressing. General manager John Schneider is currently slated to be nearly $31 million over the cap in “effective cap space,” per OverTheCap’s salary calculator.

Pro Football Focus recently released their list of the Top 50 free agents scheduled to reach the open market in mid March. Unsurprisingly, the Seahawks possess exactly zero players on PFF’s list. Schneider isn’t necessarily at risk of losing any big-time contributors this offseason.

It’s worth acknowledging the Seahawks do have a pair of veteran players who qualify as potential cap casualties. Scheduled to be over the cap, Schneider could create a significant amount of financial flexibility by releasing veteran wide receiver Tyler Lockett and outside linebacker Uchenna Nwosu. Both players have likely played their final downs in Seattle.

Would Lockett and/or Nwosu make this list if they were officially available? That’s for PFF to decide. Players on the list who could intrigue Schneider in free agency at the right price include offensive tackles Alaric Jackson and Dan Moore Jr., guard Mekhi Becton, and more.
