Demarcus Lawrence signs three-year deal worth up to $42 million with #Seahawks. $18 million guaranteed.

Continuing her impressive run in Unrivaled, #Storm guard Skylar Diggins-Smith hasn't lost a step at 34. A look at how the savvy veteran will once again be counted on as a key starter for Seattle: www.emeraldcityspectrum.com/home/storm-s...

Former #Seahawks tackle Stone Forsythe has agreed to terms with Giants, per his agency.

I heard grumblings going into free agency that #Seahawks had interest in Teven Jenkins, and now @jamesrapien.bsky.social is reporting they are one of three teams in on signing the guard.

PFF has him at nearly a 10 percent drop rate. He has definitely been feast or famine.

Seeking speed on the outside after losing DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett, the #Seahawks will link coordinator Klint Kubiak back up with one of his big play weapons from New Orleans. Details: emeraldcityspectrum.com/home/seahawk...

#Seahawks have agreed to terms with receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling on a one-year deal.

#Seahawks free agency thus far… Additions: Sam Darnold, Josh Jones Departures: Laken Tomlinson, Tre Brown Re-signed: Ernest Jones, Jarran Reed

A former #Seahawks starter is staying in the NFC West. Latest updates on our free agent tracker: www.emeraldcityspectrum.com/home/seahawk...

Now former #Seahawks cornerback Tre Brown has signed with 49ers, per his agency.

"#Seahawks fans, I need you to ask yourselves... are you good with embracing chaos?" @lukebraunnfl.bsky.social with a very fun, detailed breakdown of what Seattle signed in Sam Darnold on a new @lockedonseahawks.bsky.social: www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvlh...

Making the trip to Mexico City, the #Sounders couldn’t overcome mistakes in their defensive third and dropped the away leg to Cruz Azul, ending their Championship Cup hopes. @andersonhirst.bsky.social breaks down the disappointing, injury-ravaged defeat: emeraldcityspectrum.com/home/sounder...

Best part of the episode 😂

NEW @lockedonseahawks.bsky.social! Did the #Seahawks make the right move signing Sam Darnold? And how can the team get the most out of his talents? @lukebraunnfl.bsky.social of @lockedonvikings.bsky.social breaks down Darnold's fit in Klint Kubiak's offense: youtube.com/live/hvlhl8h...

Unlike past offseasons, the #Seahawks came out aggressive aiming to upgrade their offensive line to open free agency. But the latest effort to do so came up short due to multiple factors, allowing the Vikings to score the prize. www.emeraldcityspectrum.com/home/seahawk...

NFL announces #Seahawks have been awarded three compensatory picks. Round 4 (137) Round 5 (172) Round 5 (175)

This is all conjecture based on the Fries deal falling through, but wonder if the #Seahawks potential sale down the line is playing a part in the team not going beyond three year contracts right now.

The #Seahawks had a three-year deal worth north of $50 million on the table for Will Fries. Similarly structured contract to the one they signed Dre'Mont Jones for a couple years ago in terms of AAV. But the Vikings offered two extra years at that price point.

The #Seahawks invested seven draft picks on offensive linemen over the past three years. All seven of those players are still on the roster. Investing in the draft hasn't been issue. Development hasn't been there. That's why paying for a quality vet starter feels imperative.

In the aftermath of trading two foundational pieces on offense and signing a new quarterback, the Seahawks have a treasure trove of draft picks to reload the unit around Sam Darnold. How can they maximize those 10 selections? Mock draft: www.emeraldcityspectrum.com/home/post-fi...

There’s no other way to put it: If John Schneider doesn’t sign Teven Jenkins or Mekhi Becton, this free agency period is an adjunct failure for the #Seahawks.

No. 2020 was when they had almost $70 million in cap space and did next to nothing with it.

It’s too early to say Seattle won’t make a strong signing at guard, but at the same time, this is how John Schneider operates. If they don’t sign Teven Jenkins or Mekhi Becton, then what the heck was the point of opening up cap space? Shades of 2020 again.

While several quality veteran offensive linemen were plucked up by other teams to open the legal tampering period, plenty of options remain available for the #Seahawks to upgrade the trenches. Six best centers/guards left unsigned after Day 1: emeraldcityspectrum.com/home/best-re...

It's not the big splash fans desire, but the #Seahawks look poised to fill an important depth position along their offensive line at the outset of free agency. Details: emeraldcityspectrum.com/home/seahawk...

Year one under Danny Sprinkle came to a merciful end with the #Huskies bowing out in overtime to their rivals from Eugene. As Aaron Coe writes, the final loss summed up an entire dreadful first campaign in the Big Ten: www.emeraldcityspectrum.com/home/finale-...

Will have best remaining free agent fits for #Seahawks piece up later this evening - lots of talented players at position of need remaining unsigned.

Notable guards still available: Will Fries, Mekhi Becton, James Daniels, Teven Jenkins #Seahawks have to get one of these players, preferably a healthy Fries.

It's March 10. Seattle has time to add receivers.

Narratives can change. Sam Darnold had issues against pressure early in career and in playoff loss for Vikings, but plays like this game-winning dime to Justin Jefferson against #Seahawks demonstrate far better play under duress in '24. Threw 13 TD under pressure.

Going to see a run on guards now with Aaron Banks being first domino signing with Packers.

Now that we have the full picture - the #Seahawks have a lot more financial flexibility under this current deal with Darnold than they would have if Geno Smith was extended. The question will be: can those savings be used to build supporting cast around him to contender level?

Pivoting from Geno Smith to another former Jets draft pick who revived his career elsewhere, the #Seahawks will be putting their eggs in the Sam Darnold basket hoping he can take the offense to the next level. Details: www.emeraldcityspectrum.com/home/seahawk...

#Seahawks have their guy. Sam Darnold inking three-year, $110.5 million deal - nearly dead on with my prediction from this morning - and $55 million guaranteed.

At this point, I think we should all just migrate to BlueSky for good for free agency.

If I had to predict right now... Sam Darnold to #Seahawks Justin Fields to Jets Daniel Jones back to Vikings Aaron Rodgers to Steelers Zach Wilson to Titans Russell Wilson to... Giants?

Former Seahawks cornerback D.J. Reed landing three-year deal with the Lions. Big addition for Detroit's secondary.

This has been the slowest first tampering day I've ever seen. Can't just be X being down, can it?

Per multiple sources, the #Seahawks haven't reached out to the Jaguars about Trevor Lawrence. They're focused on free agent market, current draft class in aftermath of Geno Smith trade.

For the few of you sickos out there who had Jimmy Garoppolo going to the Seahawks, it's not happening. He's re-signing with Rams as a backup.
