“But if John Schneider sticks to his typical policy of not extending players with multiple years left on their contracts (JSN and Witherspoon would have two with the fifth-year option) then it’s going to be a long wait for that news.”
Schneider said shortly after the SB that the Seahawks do not regard the fifth year option as applying to this policy. This was in response to a question about extending JSN and Spoon. So, according to team policy, both are eligible for an extension.
I voted for our future HoF guard, Anthony Bradford as the most likely to be resigned, but I don't even know why. Maybe he'll drop 30 pounds and learn to Tap Dance. Maybe.
Olu Olu is the guy I'm most disappointed with. He's big, strong, comes from a power school, has won awards, and just isn't very good. I'm sure he'll be a great High School PE teacher and assistant coach somewhere in West Texas, but he won't be getting any second contract offers in the NFL.
I put in a vote for AB too. Let’s appreciate his strength and the value of continuity. JS should be able to resign him for a moderate amount of cash.
That said, we should see him as a borderline starter. He might get beat out and be a depth player. That’s where he should be graded: marginal starter/excellent depth.
Since he started all year, we can assume that John Benton values having a strength player at RG for short yardage situations. I think he gets paid - modestly.
From what I read, Olu is fine technically but not especially strong or athletic and doesn’t have any explosiveness off the line. Because he knows how to play the position and has decent size, Olu likely will have a nice career as a backup.
I suspect this down time is spent getting stronger. Benton strikes as zero-bulsht kinda guy. If there is no future, he'll tell you and if there is, he'll outline it. The Sciences behind strengthening is making huge strides. Sundell can go down at any time. It happens he's one tough character, getting hurt and still doing his work at a high level. Olu knows he's one injury away from being a Starter, so long as he excels. I expect colleges are busy getting up to speed, especially those up north.
I don't think there's a middle ground universe for Hall. He's too young to settle, and he must know that a solid season will make him one of the top free agents this time next year.
If I was JS I would extend Myers for 2 years only if they can’t get another kicker that’s good as Myers in a lean draft. Spoon and JSN are not going anywhere and he probably has started talks.
Lock I don’t see as a starter except the Vikings I would give a call to and look for a cheaper Vet. Lock is a good backup so he has a lot of value as such.
Jalen Milroe? I am unimpressed. Ability but seems to lack feel for the game.
Hall = Taylor and they let him walk.
Zach had a bad injury so how he comes back is questionable. That’s why I’m not in favor of giving Walker a big deal that somebody else probably will running backs just don’t last that long.
Let's expect to see Lock explode onto the field. All he'll need is a fairly solid O-Line. He was giddy during this Super Bowl. The stars are aligning...
Follow the money! I'm guessing value is king. JS will keep us competitive. MM will lock them in. As soon as ngs puts out their draft numbers I can speculate on JS draft decisions...soon hopefully.
Lenard Williams needs to be compensated period. Figure it out and get it done. He is in my opinion the leader of our Defense. He is a tone setter type player. All the coaches and players known his role too. He is the Alpha Dog in the Pack! Make him a high priority!

I assume John will resigned big old number 75.

I agree with you - I think LW can be a difference maker deep into his 30’s.
Men with that size, athleticism, passion, and smarts are rare and precious.
He hated being stuck on 2 crappy NY Teams and loves and appreciates what he has in SEA!!
Keep that Alpha Dog as long as he can play winning FB!!
Big Leo brings the Happy Face. J.Reed brings the Law.
