Follow our 2024 Seahawks free agency tracker!
This week marks the start of the 2024 NFL league year. Free agency officially begins on Wednesday, March 13, but the waning days of the 2023 league year will be consumed by the “legal tampering period,” which begins at 1:00 p.m. PT on Monday, March 11. Teams can enter contract negotiations with unrestricted free agents, but any agreed upon deals cannot be processed until the new league year begins.
The deadline for exclusive rights free agents (ERFAs) to receive tenders is Friday, March 16, whereas teams have until March 13 to extend qualifying offers to deadline for qualifying offers to restricted free agents (RFAs). For the Seattle Seahawks, the headline names soon approaching the free agent market include linebackers Jordyn Brooks and Bobby Wagner, defensive lineman Leonard Williams, tight end Noah Fant, guard Damien Lewis, and even backup quarterback Drew Lock.
Seattle should have in the neighborhood of $50 million in available cap space, which will of course include money reserved for draft picks next month, but John Schneider has made important cost-saving measures through roster cuts and restructures to give him the cap room to work with.

Thanks to Carrie Brown for the westward view of our Saturday night sunset. The high today hit 68 at the airport – eight degrees above normal – but nowhere near the record for this date, which was 89 degrees back in 2016. The forecast suggests two more days of partly sunny, almost-70-degree weather, before the chance of rain returns.
CHICAGO (AP) — The struggling New York Mets placed former Seattle Mariners second baseman/designated hitter Jorge Polanco on the 10-day injured list on Saturday with a right wrist contusion.
Mariners Injury Update: Latest on Robles, Vargas and more
The move was made retroactive to Wednesday, a day after Polanco went 0 for 4 with two strikeouts in a 2-1 loss at the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 32-year-old Polanco is batting .179 (10 for 56) with a homer and two RBIs in his first season with New York, which has lost nine straight.
“When doctors first took a look at him, it looked like he got hit by a pitch when he didn’t,” manager Carlos Mendoza said. “In talking to him, it was just a couple of swings that he took that night. … He didn’t think much of it, but just got worse the following day.
“So you just got to let it calm down a little bit and then we’ll go from there. But we don’t have a timetable for how long this is going to last.”
Polanco, who signed a two-year, $40 million contract with the Mets in December, also has been dealing with an ankle issue.
“He was trending in the right direction,” Mendoza said of the ankle injury. “It’s definitely going to help, obviously now with him being shut down. But the biggest thing now is that we’ve got to take care of that wrist.”
Polanco spent the previous two seasons with the Mariners, who acquired him in a February 2024 trade with the Minnesota Twins.
Polanco struggled during his first season with Seattle in 2024, hitting just .213 with 16 homers in 118 games while playing through a knee injury that didn’t become public knowledge until after the season.
But after the Mariners somewhat surprisingly brought him back for a one-year contract in 2025, Polanco rebounded to hit .265 with 26 homers and an .821 OPS in 138 games last season. He then added three homers during Seattle’s playoff run, along with a 15th-inning walkoff single in Game 5 of the American League Division Series that sent the Mariners to their first ALCS in 24 years.
