Following a 2017 season that fell short of expectations for many fans, the Seattle Seahawks entered the offseason with lots of questions regarding big name players. Would the team sign an extension with any of Jimmy Graham, Paul Richardson or Sheldon Richardson before the start of free agency, or would the team allow them to leave and likely earn compensatory picks in the 2019 draft in return.
Sure enough, nearly as soon as the free agency bell rang, Graham agreed to a contract with the Green Bay Packers, Paul Richardson signed with the Washington Redskins and a bit later Sheldon signed a deal with the Minnesota Vikings.
