Seahawks make Shead, Coyle, Terrell, Seisay unrestricted free agents by not tendering them restricted offers

On a day millions of dollars flew around the NFL on free-agency day like rain drops -- a reported $53 million paid by the Chargers for Russell Okung(!)-- DeShawn Shead got left out in the cold in Seattle.

The NFL’s official transactions for Thursday, the deadline day for teams to tender offers to their restricted free agents, showed the only one the Seahawks tendered was starting right tackle Garry Gilliam.

That means Seattle’s other restricted free agents are all now unrestricted free agents, free to sign with any team: Shead, their starting cornerback in 2016, plus reserve linebacker Brock Coyle, special-teams safety Steven Terrell and 2016 injured-reserve cornerback Mohammed Seisay.
