The Seahawks went just 7-10 this season, far below the high standard that’s been set during the Pete Carroll and Russell Wilson era. While we expect a bounce-back kind of dynamic in 2022, Seattle has some work to do this offseason. Specifically, in order to keep up in the most competitive division in the NFL they’re going to need more starpower.
The other three teams in the NFC West all made the playoffs and two of them have advanced to the divisional round. The Rams are particularly loaded on both sides of the ball and are probably the most talented team in the NFL. One reason they are so incredibly deep is their willingness to add to their strengths, such as signing Odell Beckham Jr. even when they already had Cooper Kupp and Robert Woods on the roster. That’s a winning model that the Seahawks should be willing to follow.
Beckham is probably the most worthy skill player to target in free agency this year for Seattle, but there are other options out there. One of them that should at least be considered is calling the Falcons about potentially trading for wide receiver Calvin Ridley.
