Seattle enters the 2026 free agency period with money to spend. However, they could simultaneously see some key free agents depart.Â
As of March 4, the Seahawks own just over $58 million in projected space. In terms of effective cap room, Seattle’s figure drops from $58 million to $55 million.Â
Only five NFL franchises possess more cap space than the defending Super Bowl champions. By effective cap space, Seattle sits sixth in the league.Â
Seahawks Free Agents 2026: Offense Could See Overhaul
Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker is the marquee free agent for Seattle. The team declined to place its franchise tag on Walker, who will now hit the open market.Â
Another notable free agent for the Seahawks is wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed. Seattle acquired him before the 2025 trade deadline and could see competition for his signature.Â
Most of Seattle’s free agents, however, come on the defensive side of the ball. It could affect a unit that led the NFL in defensive DVOA last season.Â
Edge rusher Boye Mafe headlines the group of defensive free agents. Other notables include corners Josh Jobe and Riq Woolen, along with safety Coby Bryant.Â
If 2025 performances serves as an indicator, both corners are unlikely to return.Â
Amongst 18 Seattle defenders that played at least 20% of snaps, Woolen and Jobe finished 15th and 18th, respectively, in PFF grading.
Finally, linebacker Drake Thomas is an restricted free agent. In that situation, Seattle has the right of first refusal on any offer Thomas receives from another team.Â
