3 players who could fix the Seahawks center problem in 2022
By Lee Vowell
Ryan Jensen, Buccaneers
OK, to be fair, Ryan Jensen is probably going to want a bit more than the Seahawks are willing to spend. Seattle has the money to sign a splash free agent this offseason but Jensen’s last contract was with the Buccaneers for $42 million over four years with $22 million of that guaranteed.
He will only be 31 years old at the start of the 2022 season so he should have a number of years left to play at a high level. Therefore, Jensen will probably get around $10 million or more per season in his next deal.
Should Seattle, if they are truly in a win-now mode, offer a player of Jensen’s ability a good-sized deal to come to play in Seattle? Absolutely! Will they? Unlikely. John Schneider will probably try to spread the Seahawks cap space over several decent players, but no truly great ones, in hopes that quantity can once again be victorious over quality.

But that way is beginning to work less and less in Seattle. Jensen is an athletic center who can also be a mauler and excels at run blocking. He also is a very smart player and would help the rest of the offensive line by calling out the correct alignments. Signing the 6’4″ and 320 pound Jensen would make Russell Wilson’s life easier and should make 12s happy too.
