Seahawks Lose Key Players, Eye Replacements

0:00On March 10th, Seattle Seahawks are dealing with the downside of their Super Bowl success as three key players head to new teams in free agency. Edge-Rusher Boye Mafe, running back Kenneth Walker III, and safety, Kobe Bryant agreed to deals worth nearly $150 million in. Total compensation. General manager John Schneider, managed to keep receiver and returner Rashid Shaheed, plus cornerback Josh Job, amid the early moves. He still has salary cap room left, so more signings could happen soon. The loss is hit hard, but the defense has solid depth built over the past year. Fans will watch how younger players rise to fill those roles, especially with injuries healing up for some backups. On the Edge, Derek Hall and Uchenna Nawosu look ready for bigger snaps after strong seasons. Safety spot Mike Go to Tio Kata, who saw plenty of action last year and fits the scheme well. Replacing Walker's speed and power running back proves toughest, was Zack Sharbanay recovering from injury as the top option inside.

1:03Schneider likely eyes reagents or the draft to add explosion there, keeping the roster competitive for another title run.
