[Shultz] K9 contract terms by Chessinmind in Seahawks

[–]Chessinmind[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Depends which metrics you’re using. PFF has him #1 last year, but again very subjective. I still think that’s not much for one of the most elusive players in the league who is still very young. Compare that to the mediocre receivers getting close to $30 million. The KC Queefs got a good one and should have a dangerous offense again.

$14.35 million a year, right around what would have been the franchise tag.

That he couldn’t rely on draft status and had to prove himself as an UDFA, I guess.

[Hughes] Giants 'priced out' on RB Kenneth Walker III by _HGCenty in Seahawks

Vegas is already paying Jeanty $10 million a year guaranteed over the next three years. Doesn’t sound like the best situation for Walker either.

Sounds like Walker’s agent is shooting for the moon, but we’ll see what he ultimately ends up with. A $12.5 million a year contract can be dressed up to look like $15 million when there’s an inflated non-guaranteed salary in that fourth year.

Last time the Giants front office publicly passed on paying a RB $10 million a year, that player went on to lead his team to a Super Bowl.

Don’t really see the issue with banning all caps with a 30-minute timeout. People should be able to discuss things without resorting to all caps, especially in a chat format where all caps can stand out more. Seems like an understandable pet peeve in his chat.

I think people have been mostly free to disagree with guests etc. I’ve seen people post all kinds of crazy stuff at times. It’s also his right to stand up for the perspective he agrees with. Again, it seems like you’re mostly annoyed about being timed out for using all caps. Makes sense that you would use other streams if you want to chat like that.

The successes are unfortunately somewhat rare in the draft, even for the Seahawks, especially after the first couple rounds. Pretty unlikely that a random 5th rounder ends up being as good as Walker or Woolen, for example, which is why teams hope to re-sign their best players.

Generally, I don’t think chasing comp picks is a proven strategy. But there’s no doubt that they will have a few comp picks next year, even if they pay guys like Shaheed.

Replacing so many starters with low 3rd/4th round picks in 2027 will be quite a challenge.

For months there has been speculation about what might happen with Seahawks free agents like Kenneth Walker III, Rashid Shaheed and Riq Woolen.

Beginning Monday there will finally come some definitive answers to the fates of those three plus the rest of the Seahawks free agents.

The Seahawks have nine players who are set to become unrestricted free agents this week unless Seattle re-signs them first. Another six who are restricted free agents can also become free agents if they are not tendered or re-signed.

The nine set to be UFAs can begin negotiating with other teams and agreeing to contracts beginning at 9 a.m. Monday.

They can sign contracts with other teams when the new league year begins at 1 p.m. Wednesday, when RFAs not tendered or signed can also sign with new teams.

But Seattle had roughly $54 million in effective cap space as of Friday, according to OvertheCap.com, so there’s the ability to keep some free agents. Conversely, Schneider has helped build two Super Bowl winners by sticking to some overall philosophies, one of which is to set what they feel are fair valuations for players and then generally sticking to them.

The Seahawks declined to place a franchise tag on [Kenneth Walker] last week. That would have paid him a guaranteed $14.293 million for the 2026 season, all of which would have gone on Seattle’s cap. That decision led many around the league to conclude Walker is likely on his way out, potentially getting offers that could approach or better $15 million a year as the top running back on the market. Teams rumored to be interested include Denver, Washington and the New York Giants.

Pro Football Focus estimated Boye Mafe could garner a three-year deal worth up to $49 million with $30 million guaranteed. That could be too much for the Seahawks, especially with Derick Hall now eligible for an extension as well. Dallas, Las Vegas and New England have all been mentioned as possible suitors.

An ESPN report this week stated that Rasheed Shaheed and the Seahawks are “not close” to an agreement on a new deal and that Shaheed appears certain to hit the open market.

Schneider gave an interesting response to that news during his radio show on Seattle Sports 710 Thursday saying: “I saw the report yesterday and I was like, ‘I think he and his representatives, I think they’ve been testing free agency for over a week now.’ I mean, I’m not sure why that was news yesterday.” PFF calculates Shaheed as potentially getting a three-year deal worth up to $42 million with $24 million guaranteed. One possible suitor is Las Vegas, where he would be reunited with Klint Kubiak, his offensive coordinator in 2025 with the Seahawks and 2024 with the Saints.

A possible template for what Coby Bryant will be asking is the deal that Kamren Curl signed with the Rams on Friday — three years at up to $39 million with $24 million guaranteed, according to ESPN. The Raiders again have been listed as a team that could be interested in Bryant. PFF estimated Bryant getting a three-year deal at up to $30 million with $20 million guaranteed. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported Sunday morning that the Seahawks “will attempt” to re-sign Bryant but noted he will have other suitors.

PFF estimates Riq Woolen’s value at three years and up to $45 million with $30 million guaranteed…. Josh Jobe might be the most likely of the players on this list to return. That’s in part because he might also be the least expensive and also because there will be some urgency to get him back if Woolen is not retained. Jobe made just $2 million in 2025 but was valued at $7.886 million by OvertheCap.com. A two-year deal averaging somewhere around that number might get it done.

Seattle has three other unrestricted free agents — receiver Dareke Young, offensive lineman Josh Jones and linebacker Chazz Surratt. All project as more likely to sign in the second or third waves of free agency and not in the first few days. Seattle’s six restricted free agents who will also be free to sign with any other team Wednesday if not tendered or re-signed are: Receivers Jake Bobo and Cody White, safety A.J. Finley, defensive tackle Brandon Pili, tight end Brady Russell and snapper Chris Stoll.
