The legal tampering period of free agency starts a week from Monday, and that is when fans and observers will truly gain an insight into how the Seattle Seahawks plan to go about the offseason ahead of looking to defend their Super Bowl title.
However, before the big dollars of the frenzied initial wave of free agency start being tossed around, there are plenty of items which will need to be crossed off the list of tasks to complete before the start of the new NFL league year at 4pm New York time
on Wednesday, March 11.
One of those things is addressing the potential tenders for the exclusive rights free agents and restricted free agents whose contracts are set to expire when the current league year ends. To that end, the Seahawks on Monday announced that they have officially tendered both of their ERFAs, which all but guarantees the pair will be back in training camp with Seattle come July.
ERFA tenders are one year contract offers for the league minimum according to the number of credited seasons a player has accumulated during their NFL career, and for the duo tendered on Monday, those numbers are as follow:
- Ty Okada: $1,145,000
- George Holani: $1,075,000
And now it’s on to the restricted free agents, with the front office needing to make a decision on the likes of Jake Bobo, Brady Russell, Drake Thomas, Chris Stoll and others.
