The Seattle Seahawks must have done a thing or two correctly during the first wave of free agency, causing the team to climb a whopping four spots up to No. 14 overall in the latest NFL power rankings.
After a five-week hiatus, Around The NFL Podcast Co-Host Dan Hanzus took another look around the league to put together his free-agency frenzy edition and had the following to say about Seattle.
“The Seahawks were one of the biggest surprises in the NFL last season,” Hanzus writes. “They’ve started the new league year by making sensible moves to fortify the roster. The team addressed perhaps its most pressing need on defense with a big contract for former Broncos defensive lineman Dre’Mont Jones, then added help at linebacker with ex-Steeler Devin Bush amid whispers of a potential Bobby Wagner reunion.

“Geno Smith returns on a well-earned new three-year deal — does the move preclude Seattle from taking a quarterback with the fifth overall pick?” Hanzus continues. “We wouldn’t think so. The Seahawks are an interesting team to watch in a top-heavy NFC.”
