SEATTLE — Free agency isn't going to save the Seahawks. It never was.
Doesn't matter if they deviated from their norm by throwing big money at a player just as free agency began. Doesn't matter if they (seemingly) bolstered one of the weakest areas of the roster in the pass rush, either.
Yes, coach Pete Carroll and general manager John Schneider have made notable moves the past few days. They might make more in the days to come. But the difference between the Seahawks being mighty or mediocre will be whether the front office hits in the draft and if their key returners stay healthy. It's that simple.
