Seahawks get top marks from Football Outsiders
Photo by Lindsey Wasson/ A for awesome! The Seattle Seahawks have had a calmer offseason than last year, for reasons I do not think I need to explain. They kept Geno Smith on a very team-friendly contract, signed Dre’Mont Jones to the largest free agent deal the Seahawks have ever put together under Pete Carroll and John Schneider, and parted ways with veteran defensive linemen Shelby Harris, Al Woods, and Quinton Jefferson. We’re only a week into the new league year and a month out from the NFL Draft, but Football Outsiders is absolutely glowing about the way...

The one glaring head-scratcher for the Seahawks this offseason
Photo by Steph Chambers/ The defensive line has undergone a major overhaul. The Seattle Seahawks broke protocol this year when they signed Dre’Mont Jones immediately to open free agency. A proven player at a position of need at age 26 for multiple years - what has John Schneider gotten into?? Since then, however, the area of greatest weakness for the Seahawks has not remained the same, in fact it’s gotten a bit worse. Besides adding Jarran Reed, Seattle has chosen to part ways with Al Woods, Shelby Harris, Quinton Jefferson, and presumably Poona Ford. Were they...

2023 Seahawks Free Agents: Details of the Jarran Reed contract
Photo by Megan Briggs/ With the second week of free agency set to start for teams across the NFL Monday, the dust is still settling around the flurry of moves the Seattle Seahawks made during the first week.

The terms of the contract Jones signed with the team were reported almost immediately, but fans had still been waiting to learn how much the team had agreed to pay Reed. On Sunday Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 Houston...

Field Gulls Podcast: Thoughts on the Seahawks’ early free agent moves
Photo by Michael Owens/ Seattle has wasted no time restructuring its defensive line. The theme for the Seattle Seahawks offseason thus far has been the defensive line. Gone are Shelby Harris and Quinton Jefferson (and possibly Poona Ford, who’s yet to be signed), in are Dre’Mont Jones and Jarran Reed. Jones is the main headline here since he’s on a three-year, $51 million deal that is unlike a typical free agent signing for the Seahawks under Pete Carroll and John Schneider. Of course, the Seahawks have questions at inside linebacker and running back with the...

Is Jalen Carter still in play for the Seahawks?
Photo by Steve Limentani/ISI Photos/ After signing Dre’Mont Jones and Jarran Reed, could the Seahawks still target Carter in the draft? The Seattle Seahawks were surprisingly busy in the early stages of free agency. After making a big move for Dre’Mont Jones, the team agreed to terms with Jarran Reed. These additions were coupled with the release of Shelby Harris and Quinton Jefferson, which feels almost like a direct swap along the defensive line. Add Al Woods to this equation and it seems like the Seahawks have the front end of their defense locked down ahead of...

Joe Nicholson-USA TODAY Sports The former Seahawks linebacker is heading to the other Washington. The legal tampering period of NFL free agency got underway Monday at 12:00 noon New York time, and as is traditionally the case the front office brass of the Seattle Seahawks largely sat out the first day of free agency. There was, of course, the report that the team is expected to release defensive tackle Shelby Harris if they are unable to find a trade partner interested in his services, however, outside of that it was a quiet Monday for the team.

Report: Seahawks expected to release Shelby Harris
Photo by Christopher Mast/ The defensive lineman hinted at his release late last week. In news that’s not surprising given the cryptic Instagram post a few days ago, the Seattle Seahawks are going to release defensive lineman Shelby Harris. NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported the story early Monday. Harris was easily one of Seattle’s best defensive linemen in 2022, playing in 15 games and registering 25 hurries (per PFF), five tackles for loss, and two sacks as a 3-tech DL. Seattle reaching the playoffs was an awesome achievement for Shelby, who’d never made it...
