Priority Free Agents Re-signed to Roster

• S Jeron Johnson – Restructured Contract to Stay in Seattle

Jeron offers good experience on special teams and is in fact one of the most important and versatile guys for those units. He also offers a somewhat experienced backup option at safety. Injuries are a growing concern, however.

Retention Grade: C+

Free Agent Additions

• CB Phillip Adams – Signed with Seahawks

Adams is a good depth move and roster body, but much like the first time he was in Seattle I don’t see him sticking around for the long haul with the other moves that were made back there this offseason. He does have a little experience though and could be a valuable surprise.

Addition Grade: C-

• CB A.J. Jefferson – Signed with Seahawks

Jefferson might do nothing, but personally I think he will be out to prove himself as a valuable commodity in this league after his life-issues in Minnesota. To me he’s the fill-in for Thurmond, which means he gets the same addition grade for SEA as Thurmond got a loss grade.

Addition Grade: B-
