The legal tampering period of NFL free agency for the 2022 league year kicked off Monday with a flurry of activity for teams and players across the league. The Seattle Seahawks, as is typically the case, stayed out of much of the first wave of free agency. However, they did move to retain a quartet of their own unrestricted free agents in Quandre Diggs, Sidney Jones, Al Woods and Will Dissly while watching cornerback D.J. Reed depart for the New York Jets.
In addition the Hawks also tendered the majority of their exclusive rights free agents, including Ryan Neal, Tanner Muse, Bryan Mone, Jon Rhattigan and others, putting them well over the 51 players under contract threshold important for the salary cap during the offseason.
