There are two phases to the Re-Entry Draft process. During Stage One a player “Clubs must exercise the option for, or extend a Bona Fide Offer to, all players selected in Stage One and may not select their own draft-eligible players.” That means that they would come in at a higher cap hit than their previous team felt they were worth. Stage One generally sees little movement. In Stage Two a team has seven days to negotiate with the player selected. A club can select their own players after the first round. Seattle picks 20th in both phases of the RED.
