NFL Free Agency starts on March 9th, and the next few days will feature several Seattle Seahawks rumors. While free agency doesn't officially start until Wednesday, Monday and Tuesday are "legal tampering" days. That means teams can discuss contracts with any player, although a deal can't be signed until Wednesday. With that in mind, here are a few of the more interesting rumors and news tidbits on the Seahawks.
Seahawks Interested In Broncos LB Brandon Marshall?
No, not the wide receiver. This is about restricted free agent LB Brandon Marshall, whom the Broncos placed a second-round tender on this week. That means the Broncos can match any offer Marshall receives, and they'd get a second round pick in return if they don't. Teams will be interested in Marshall.

The Seahawks could be interested in Marshall, but Denver will likely try to match any offer the Seahawks could afford. Seattle lacks the cap space to make a "godfather" offer. Plus, there is no guarantee the Seahawks will want to give up a second rounder.
Seahawks Offered Brandon Mebane Contract
The Seahawks are hoping to bring back DT Brandon Mebane, and they've reportedly offered him a contract.

There are no details on the contract for Mebane, although it's likely to be a middle-of-the-road deal. As for the other teams interested, the Jaguars and Falcons make sense given their ties to Seattle.
