NFL free agency: Potential 'bargain-bin' addition still out there for Seahawks

“The report can be taken in one of two ways,” added Sobleski. “Either Willis is genuine about getting healthy and trying to do what's best for his career, or he hasn't received the level of interest that's been expected at the onset of free agency. If it's the latter, an organization can still swoop in and get him on the roster. Even if Wills does miss a large portion of the 2025 campaign, he can be in the building, learning a new system, getting used to a different organization and readying himself once he's cleared medically.

“Furthermore,” said Sobleski, “a franchise with a need at left tackle can get him in the building on a potential two-year deal to help its depth while continuing his development. Left tackles aren't readily available at this time of year. Signing Wills would be a perfect example of buying low.”

Yes, there’s a lot of talk about left tackle. When it comes to the Seattle Seahawks, they appear to be in good hands with Charles Cross. On the right side, where Wills lined up with the Crimson Tide, Abraham Lucas has had his own share of injury issues. He’s also missed 21 contests the past two seasons.

Adding Wills may be a low-risk move that could pay off down the road for general manager John Schneider and a Seattle team that struggled up front this past season.
