The Seattle Seahawks are poised for significant roster adjustments in the upcoming month, with both releases and acquisitions on the horizon to manage cap space and address team needs.
General manager John Schneider and head coach Mike Macdonald face pivotal decisions, particularly in bolstering positions such as linebacker, safety, defensive line, and the interior offensive line through free agency and the draft.
Given the team’s financial constraints, they’re compelled to seek value acquisitions in free agency rather than pursuing high-priced options. In this pursuit, two potential players stand out as bargain finds.
Jordan Fuller, Safety, Los Angeles Rams
Jordan Fuller, a Safety currently with the Los Angeles Rams, emerges as an enticing prospect for the Seahawks. Not only would his acquisition weaken a divisional rival, but Fuller’s skill set aligns well with the team’s needs, offering a younger alternative to incumbent Quandre Diggs.
With Fuller projected to command a more modest salary compared to Diggs, Seattle stands to benefit significantly from potential cost savings while maintaining or even enhancing on-field performance.
Graham Glasgow, Offensive Line, Detroit Lions
Meanwhile, Graham Glasgow, an Offensive Lineman from the Detroit Lions, presents an opportunity to fortify the Seahawks’ interior offensive line.
With uncertainties surrounding the futures of key players like Evan Brown and Damien Lewis, Glasgow’s versatility and solid performance make him an attractive option. His proficiency in both pass protection and run blocking aligns with the team’s potential shift towards a more balanced offensive approach under new offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb.
While the Seahawks face challenges in navigating cap limitations and addressing roster needs, strategic acquisitions like Fuller and Glasgow could provide cost-effective solutions to fortify the team’s competitiveness in the upcoming season.
