Seattle Seahawks general manager John Schneider clearly had well-thought-out plans heading into the free agency period this offseason. He prioritized retaining Rashid Shaheed over Kenneth Walker III on offense. He chose the steadier Josh Jobe over Riq Woolen on defense. With a good supply of edge rushers on board, he opted to avoid a bidding war over Boye Mafe.
Those are all defensible positions, as is the decision to allow Coby Bryant to depart. Seattle has safeties. Schneider seems content to roll forward with the roster he has and pick up extra compensatory picks in next year’s draft.
