4 free agents that Seattle Seahawks must absolutely chase this coming offseason

Seattle should go after guard Robert Hunt

The Seahawks offensive line play has been not very good in 2023. Partly this is due to a number of players missing games with injury. An O-line needs to build cohesion to be good and Seattle simply has not been able to do that. Seattle should be set at tackle for at least two more years, but changes need to be, and will be, made along the interior of the line. This includes both guards and at center.

Evan Brown was brought in last offseason as a free agent to start at center and he began the season relatively well, but after Week 4 has mostly been bad. Since Week 2, he has allowed multiple pressures in eight of ten games. But Seattle probably has his replacement already on the roster in rookie Olu Oluwatimi (who I am honestly not sure why he is not already playing).

Left guard Damien Lewis, who seen a dip in play from 2022, is a free agent after this year. Seattle could make a run at re-signing him. Right guard has been a mix of rookie Anthony Bradford and veteran Phil Haynes. Haynes is a free agent, too, and unlikely to return. Bradford might be better in 2024 after a year of seasoning, but he seems like a much better run-blocker than pass-protector at this point.

Hunt has missed some games this year, but he was fully healthy in his first three seasons. The Dolphins probably cannot afford him as they gave offensive tackle Austin Jackson a big extension before 2023. Hunt is currently the fourth-highest graded guard in the league, according to PFF. He has allowed only 5 pressures all season. Seattle is going to have to come up with the money, but a three year deal at around $18 million a season would be worth it for the 6'6" and 335-pound guard.
