4 Seahawks heading into a make-or-break season in 2022

Jason Myers

I will be honest here; I don’t like putting Jason Myers’ name on this list. Seattle has at times given up on kickers too quickly. Remember Stephen Hauschka? Seattle let him walk after the 2016 season (after Hauschka made 33 of 37 field goal attempts) and he went to Buffalo in 2017 and made 29 of 33 kicks for the Bills, including 7 of 9 from beyond 50 yards. Seattle replaced Hauschka with Blair Walsh who was just 21 of 29 for Seattle in 2017.

One issue with Myers heading into 2022 is that he is due to make $5 million which is a chunk of change for a kicker. Myers struggled with consistency to start 2021. Through Week 13, Myers had made just 9 of 14 field goal attempts and had missed inside the 40 yard line for the first time since 2018.

But Myers did finish strong by making 8 of 9 field goals in the last five games of the year and made all of his 15 extra point attempts in the final four games. Myers should still be a member of the Seahawks next year because he is good enough to be.

But after that he is a free agent and if Myers plays a full 2022 like he started 2021 then Myers is going to be playing for another team in 2023 because Seattle could choose their next kicker in the 2023 NFL draft and save a bunch of money.
