Of the nine major free agents the Seattle Seahawks have entering the market next week (they have 15 in total), five of them are on the defense. Riq Woolen (cornerback) is the most expected to walk in free agency, and the Seahawks might let him.
Among the others are Boye Mafe, the four-year edge rusher who has tallied 20 sacks overall for the Seahawks and was a solid and reliable backup to DeMarcus Lawrence this past season. Lawrence could be considering retirement, as reported in the last several days, which could drastically change things for the Seahawks at that position.
