As the Seattle Seahawks gear up for the 2025 offseason, key personnel decisions loom large. With several notable players, including Geno Smith, DK Metcalf, and Tyler Lockett, entering the final year of their contracts, the Seahawks face tough choices regarding who to prioritize for contract extensions. The upcoming offseason presents a mix of unrestricted, restricted, and exclusive rights free agents that the Seahawks must navigate carefully to ensure a balanced roster moving forward.

A significant part of the discussion centers on whether to extend veterans like Lockett and Smith or invest in younger talent like Kenneth Walker III or Boye Mafe. The evaluation of players is essential, as the front office, led by John Schneider and Mike McDonald, will weigh factors such as player performance, age, and potential for future contributions. The Seahawks' strategy will need to focus on maintaining a competitive edge while managing their salary cap effectively.
