What is the story about?

It’s time for NFL free agency and the start of the 2026 league year!

Yes, free agency technically begins on Wednesday, March 11, at 1:00 p.m. PT but the 2025 league year conclusion gives us the “legal tampering period,” which begins at 9:00 a.m. PT on Monday, March 9. “Legal tampering” is when teams can enter contract negotiations with unrestricted free agents. However, any agreed upon deals cannot be processed until the new league year begins, at which point players can come in for physicals and

sign their contracts.

The Seahawks have big decisions to make regarding the likes of Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III, midseason trade acquisition Rashid Shaheed, and defensive backs Riq Woolen, Josh Jobe, and Coby Bryant. Who will stay and who will go? And what will the Seahawks do with their ample salary cap space? John Schneider has been here before in terms of tough free agent decisions after winning a Super Bowl, what will the outcome be this time?

How much salary cap space do the Seahawks have?

Seattle has $58 million in available cap space, which will of course include money reserved for draft picks next month, but John Schneider has the Seahawks in a position where this year didn’t have the same major trades and cap casualties like the previous offseason.
