Of the six external free agents Seattle has signed this offseason, Julian Love might be the most surprising.
Safety, the position where Love started 16 games for the Giants last season, simply didn't seem a big need with Quandre Diggs and Jamal Adams still under contract and carrying the two highest cap hits on the team in 2023, and popular Ryan Neal having been tendered as a restricted free agent.
But after the initial frenzied wave of free agency passed and the Seahawks saw that Love was still available — and at a price they couldn't really believe with the safety market not having developed the way most thought — Seattle pounced, seeing a player and a value too good to pass up.
