Seahawks

Boyd predicts (but doesn’t report) that Pierce will leave in free agency, and projects a quick pivot that would include Michael Pittman staying with the team and the Colts chasing another receiver to replace Pierce outside. Shaheed does fit the need for speed even if he doesn’t exactly have the contested-catch ability that Pierce leads with. Shaheed has already been linked to the Commanders, Bills, and Raiders this offseason — though the Bills have since traded for DJ Moore.

Mack is set to enter free agency next week. Fowler notes that Mack would likely prefer to sign another one-year deal, and “could go back to the Chargers,” but he believes Mack is “open for business.” Adding a capable edge defender to an already-elite unit is an exciting prospect for the recent Super Bowl LX champions.

Thomas was set to enter free agency next week. The deal has an $8 million base salary with a chance to make up to $9 million. Thomas, 26, has developed into a capable defender since signing on with the Seahawks as an undrafted free agent in 2023. He totaled 62 solo tackles, eight TFLs, one interception, seven forced incompletions, 15 quarterback pressures and three sacks in the 2025 regular season.

Shaheed is expected to test the free agent market at the start of the new league year. The 27-year-old was acquired by the Super Bowl champions in the middle of the season, totaling a 15/188 line in nine regular season games and 3/78 in the playoffs with a kick return touchdown. Shaheed will receive interest as a deep ball receiver and return specialist; while a return to Seattle is still possible, the fact that the two sides were not close on an extension indicates Shaheed will have a new home for 2026.

In other words, RJ Harvey-reliant managers, keep your head on a swivel. Kosmider names Kenneth Walker, Travis Etienne, and Rico Dowdle as three backs the Broncos could have interest in. He adds that it’s “within the realm of possibility” that J.K. Dobbins returns, and also notes that the Broncos could search for young depth on Day 3 of the draft. It’s not exactly a ringing endorsement for RJ Harvey, fantasy superstar. Harvey could very well wind up in a committee again in 2026. The Broncos have enough cap space to be in play for the bigger name backs.

Bobo had just two catches for 20 yards in the regular season, though he honked all over the Rams for a touchdown in the NFC Championship game. We wouldn’t be surprised if he came back to the Seahawks, as non-tenders are often value calculations versus something closer to the league minimum for end of roster players.

It looks like the Seahawks will let Walker, the Super Bowl MVP who helped propel the team to a championship, explore the open market in the coming weeks. The Giants and Chiefs are among the teams with reported interest in Walker, who last year went for 1,027 yards and five touchdowns — along with 31 receptions for 282 yards — in a timeshare alongside Zach Charbonnet. Walker’s explosive run style could be appealing for a range of teams in need of backfield production. Obviously that includes Kansas City, which featured two of the most inefficient running backs in the game last season.

The transaction ensures both players will be with the team in 2026 as a qualifying tender applied to an exclusive rights free agent precludes them from negotiating with other franchises. The former undrafted free agent running back carved out a significant role down the stretch for the Super Bowl champs as a change of pace option behind Kenneth Walker following the season-ending injury to Zach Charbonnet, albeit requiring the injury to see regular action beyond special teams. Holani provides meaningful depth, at bare minimum. Also tendered was safety Ty Okada.

The Seahawks tendered a one-year exclusive rights contract to Okada, keeping him with the team through next season. The soon-to-be 27-year-old safety who made the team as a UDFA in 2023 started 11-of-17 games for the Seahawks in 2025, totaling 65 tackles, six pass breakups, and one interception. He’s also a valuable member on special teams, appearing on a career-high 117 special teams snaps last season, per Pro Football Reference.

This is the second reporter to recently suggest the Giants could be in the market to make a splash at running back this offseason. ESPN’s Jordan Raanan reported from the combine that the Giants were “seriously looking at some of the top RBs” in the draft or free agency. Hughes hints at Kenneth Walker being the main target of the Giants, saying we should “expect a strong push” for the four-year vet. While a move like this would undoubtedly bolster the Giants’ backfield, it could make for a frustrating fantasy situation with Cam Skattebo still expected to be in the mix and coming off a strong rookie season before his injury.
