The first thing you can expect is that the Seahawks will sign all of their rookies. Our picks should be relatively easy to sign, given that we drafted so late in the first round. As with Tom Rouen, the Seahawks might cut some aging veterans or players struggling with injuries once they get healthy, so we do not get stuck carrying their salaries if they get injured during training camp.
The Seahawks have talked about making some personnel adjustments to "shore up" a few positions on the roster. The reality of the situation is that not a lot of talent is available in the way of free agents. If the Seahawks want to bring in someone that could make a difference, it will be by trade. The Ravens just completed a trade for safety Gerome Sapp from the Colts for a conditional 2007 draft pick. The Ravens, like the Seahawks, are in line to get a few compensatory draft picks next year. This gives us the option of trading a late-round pick without a huge impact to our draft next season. Getting a veteran quarterback should be the priority for the Seahawks, as that is probably the biggest question mark on the team, but it will be difficult. Ty Law is still an option, but most likely only if the Seahawks get bad news about Ken Hamlin. The Seahawks now also have some time to look into renogiating the contracts of players scheduled to hit free agency in the near future like Sean Locklear.
Other than that, it is probably best if we do not hear too much about the Seahawks until training camp. Pittsburgh Steeler fans are getting a taste of exactly what you do not want to hear with the recent news about Ben Roethlisberger and Santonio Holmes.
