Free agency starts this coming week, with the legal tampering period beginning on Monday, and then the true start of free agency getting under way Wednesday with the start of the new league year at 4 pm New York time.
The Seattle Seahawks have multiple players who are set to be free agents, including defensive mainstays in Earl Thomas and K.J. Wright, along with some newer names like Justin Coleman and D.J. Fluker. In addition, J.R. Sweezy will have the opportunity to leave the Hawks as a free agent for a second time in three years, but it seems doubtful that he’ll be able to replicate the type of contract he earned from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers the first time around.
