The Seattle Seahawks have several new faces on-board this week, just a few days after waving good-bye to several franchise legends. The short version? Geno Smith, Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf are out of the picture, and Sam Darnold, Cooper Kupp and DeMarcus Lawrence are in. They have also managed to retain their most-important pending free agents internally, including middle linebacker Ernest Jones (who signed a steal of a deal) and defensive end Jarran Reed.
It's difficult to say which version of the Seahawks looks better on paper because it's still relatively early in the offseason and we have to get through another wave of free agency plus the entire 2025 NFL draft. The depth chart is looking pretty respectable though, as long as you're willing to overlook the whole offensive line thing. The Seahawks certainly have.
Anyway, let's see if we can project what the team's depth chart looks like following their big purge and the first wave of free agency signings.
