Four Offseason Areas the Seahawks Need to Address

Despite sustained success over the last few season, the Seattle Seahawks have some areas on the roster that must be addressed.

The Seahawks headed into the offseason a little earlier than expected after a loss to the Atlanta Falcons in the Divisional Round at the Georgia Dome. Despite being one of the most consistent teams in the NFC and the NFL as a whole, there are currently some areas that they are lacking in. Hopefully, this offseason Seattle can fill those holes.

Here are the top 4 needs that the team must fill before the 2017 season:

That Offensive Line

Getting to the offensive line is the first thing that the Seahawks really need to look at and fix.

The Seahawks’ line allowed 111 quarterback hits, fourth-most in the NFL, while also surrendering 42 sacks (sixth-most).

They need a guy in there that has the experience and knows what he is doing. They are going to have to spend some more money. Seattle spent less money on this unit than any other team in the league this season and it showed, heavily.

According to spoctrac.com, the Seahawks front office spent $6,259,177 of their 2016 cap dollars on their nine player O-line, which was 4.18 percent of their 2016 cap. The average dollar amount spent by all 32 teams was $22,659,628.

In order to protect Russell Wilson, they can not have anymore cheap add-ons. They specifically need to focus on the OT position because Justin Britt and Germain Infedi are fine in my opinion. It’s the edges that Wilson needs to be shielded from.

Dion Dawkins from Temple would be a great acquisition to the team.
