4 great free agents Seattle Seahawks could've signed but didn't

Guard Graham Glasgow

Signed for three years and $20 million with the Detroit Lions

As of this writing, Seattle still has not truly addressed the need they have in the interior of the offensive line. Maybe new offensive line coach Scott Huff feels that Olu Oluwatimi can become a starter in his second season in the NFL, and possibly Huff thinks that Anthony Bradford has the skills to develop into a very good guard. Oluwatimi did not play very much this past season, and Bradford was mostly atrocious when he got reps.

Plus, Damien Lewis, arguably Seattle's best offensive lineman over the last four years, left in free agency. According to Pro Football Focus (subscription required), the left guard was not quite as good in 2023 as before, however. He allowed 29 total pressures and was not good as a run-blocker. But the Carolina Panthers still signed him for a staggering four years and $53 million.

Glasgow gave up his share of pressures last season as well, but he was fantastic at run-blocking. He also has shown to be a better pass-blocker than he was this past season so the expectation should be he bounces back to his previous level. But as Seattle should have a better pass-to-run ratio next season (and run the ball more), Glasgow would have helped in that area.

The contract he signed was also extremely affordable. He might have wanted to stay in Detroit, but money also has a way of swaying one's future. Seattle had the money to potentially sign Glasgow for an average of more than $7 million a year. Meanwhile, Seattle still currently has a hole on the left side of their offensive line.
