Seattle Seahawks' free agency patience pays off with pass-rush bonanza

SEATTLE -- As some Seattle Seahawks fans fretted over their team's inactivity at the outset of free agency, general manager John Schneider did what he typically does, letting other teams spend big money while waiting for the right deals to come to him.

That patient approach has delivered mixed results over the years, but there's no disputing how well it just worked for the Seahawks in putting together one of their deepest collections of edge rushers in recent memory.

That group went from the Seahawks' biggest remaining need after the first week of free agency to potentially the strength of their defense after Seattle doubled up with Benson Mayowa and Kerry Hyder Jr.
