Rebilas-Imagn Images One of the most enjoyable parts of the Seattle Seahawks’ offseason is not just the fact that they’re Super Bowl champions , which we’ll continue to note as much as possible, it’s the relief of not having a familiar positional “need” to be addressed through free agency, trades, or the NFL Draft. Here’s a thorough summary of Seattle Seahawks free agent and trade acquisitions along the offensive line this offseason: Added : None Re-signed : Josh Jones Released/traded : None That’s it. The Seahawks have their starting tackles under contract for multiple seasons, a standout first-round pick at left guard with up to four years left on his rookie deal remaining, an undrafted center who’d otherwise be a restricted free agent at the end of 2026, and a heavily discussed right guard whose contract is expiring next season.

They brought back their key reserve on another cheap contract , plus they have several recent draft picks as either depth or potential right guard competition. Seattle has retained every offensive lineman from last season, which has never happened before under John Schneider, not to mention offensive line coach John Benton did not go with Klint Kubiak to the Las Vegas Raiders. This isn’t to say that all of them will be on the next 53-man roster—they won’t, because no team rosters 13 OL in the regular season—but there’s no need for major changes to the starting lineup.

At worst, the Seahawks do make a push to replace Bradford given his expiring contract and inconsistencies. There’s no particularly strong reason to bench/move on from Jalen Sundell, and the other three positions are clearly locked in place for years to come. After the loss to the Los Angeles Rams in 2024, I said that John Schneider’s time in Seattle should come to an end if he didn’t change his offensive line philosophy .
