Will they sign him?

The Seattle Seahawks scored 28.4 points per game last season, the third-most in the league. They also averaged the seventh-most total yards per game (362.3), so it's hard to complain about any of the starters.

Nevertheless, the interior of the offensive line is still a bit of a question mark in Seattle. It might be nitpicking, but repeating as Super Bowl champions is even more difficult than winning the first time, so they can't afford to get complacent now.

Considering that, Zachary Pereles of CBS Sports believes general manager John Schneider should be in the market for an upgrade. In his latest column, he foated Graham Glasgow's name as a solid reinforcement for this team.

The Seahawks should give Graham Glasgow a call after the NFL Draft

"The Seahawks would probably like to upgrade the middle of their offensive line, as guard Anthony Bradford and center Jalen Sundell had up-and-down 2025 seasons," argued Pereles. "Glasgow has center/guard versatility and could step in at either spot if needed. Plus, the chance to play for the reigning Super Bowl champs could appeal to Glasgow."

Glasgow will be 34 next season, so he would clearly be just a short-term bet for this team. However, his positional versatility could come in handy for Mike Macdonald's team, at least while they see what they truly have in their hands with rookie OL Beau Stephens.

Spotrac projects Glasgow's market value at just $5.8 million per year, which is quite reasonable for someone with his trajectory. According to Over The Cap, the Seahawks have nearly $33 million in available cap space, so they can definitely afford to make this investment.

Pro Football Focus (subscription required) ranked the Seahawks' offensive line right in the middle of the pack last season (15th). They could've done significantly worse, especially considering that they allowed the second-fewest sacks in the league (13). That said, some friendly competition for two of their starters won't hurt.

Admittedly, Glasgow may not be much of an upgrade over Jalen Sundell, but he should put pressure on Anthony Bradford, who has failed to live up to the task for most of his tenure in Seattle. Iron sharpens iron, and knowing that he has Glasgow and Stephens lurking around and preparing to take his spot should finally bring out the best in him.

Playing at center, Glasgow only gave up one sack in 517 pass-blocking snaps last season, per PFF, and he was an outstanding run-blocking right guard from 2019 to 2023. At worst, he can be a rotational piece and insurance while Stephens gets ready for a bigger role. At best, he's a strong stopgap and a boost for an already stacked offense, and he's not going to cost a lot of money.
