The free agent market got a little more plentiful Wednesday at what could be a position where the Seahawks could be buyers — left tackle.
But as is often the case with free agents (recall the oft-stated NFL maxim that the best player never become free agents) there are lots of extenuating circumstances.
What specifically happened Wednesday is that the New York Jets and Jacksonville Jaguars each declined to pick up contract options on their current left tackles — Ryan Clady and Kelvin Beachum, respectively.
Clady was due a $1 million roster bonus that the Jets decided to pass on, making him a free agent, while the Jaguars simply decided not to exercise an option on Beachum’s contract.
