Seahawks Lose Key Players in Free Agency

0:00On March 9th, the Seattle Seahawks are facing a tough start to NFL free agency. They just lost running back and Super Bowl MVP. Kenneth Walker III to a 3-year deal worth $43,000,000. Safety. Kobe Bryant is also gone, heading to the Chicago Bears on a $3,000,000,000 contract. Bryant grew into a key defender for the Super Bowl champs, starting as a backup before becoming a starter. The Seahawks wanted him back but couldn't match to offer from a playoff contender. That leaves their safety group thin. Veteran Julian Love holds down strong safety, but missed nine games last season with injuries. Undrafted Tio Cotta stepped a big as free safety in his place and could start again. Depth is a concern, beyond those two. AJ Finley has limited snaps over three years, and rookie Maxson Hook is unproven. They might even shift slot corner. Nick Imman-Wary over if needed. Seattle's secondary was a strength last year, but these losses mean quit moves ahead to rebuild that edge.
