The Seattle Seahawks are done with their 2026 NFL draft. The team entered the draft with only four selections and finished with eight. How good was the draft? That won't truly be known for a couple of years, but be ready for pundits to not like it.
Seattle chose a running back in the first round in the person of Jadarian Price, and running back is a devalued position in the current NFL. Price does fill a need with Kenneth Walker leaving in free agency, of course. He took his talents to the Kansas City Chiefs.
But now that the eight selections have been made, the real fun begins. General manager John Schneider will battle with every other team for the services of players Seattle likes but weren't drafted. Undrafted free agents can be difference-makers, of course, and no fanbase knows that better than 12s.
Running list of Seattle Seahawks undrafted free agent signings
The Seahawks have had several UDFAs make a high-end impact over the years, from Doug Baldwin to Jake Bobo, and many others. Some of the undrafted free agents from 2026 could join that list of post-draft gems.
Devean Deal, LB, TCU
Deal played for five seasons in the NFL and had 34.5 tackles for loss, and he also had 13 sacks. Solid numbers, but one has to weigh that over so many years. He played two seasons at TCU and three at Tulane.
He is 6'3" with the frame to add weight, and he might slot in more as an edge rusher eventually. Seattle has had pretty good success with those guys since John Schneider came to the team in 2010, so anything is possible.
Uso Seumalo, DT, Kansas State
Seumalo is a large human being. He is 6'3" and 340 pounds, and he fits the role at nose guard. What he isn't going to do is chase down quarterbacks very much. That likely isn't Seattle's concern, though. Instead, he could fill a gap in the middle of the interior of the defensive line on obvious rushing downs.
He isn't overly athletic, but his girth and strength might be used well. The question for him is how quickly he can prove to head coach Mike Macdonald that he is worthy of getting some reps on short-yardage situations.
Other UDFA signings as reported by The Score:
- Wisconsin TE Lance Mason
- Cal Poly WR Michael Briscoe
- Northwestern DE Aidan Hubbard
- Kansas WR Levi Wentz
Expect the above to grow. John Schneider is normally quite aggressive after the draft. 2026 might be different, however, based on his adding four picks in the draft itself.
This list will be updated with the most recent information.
