The Seattle Seahawks made some notable moves in the first week of NFL free agency, signaling a shift in their roster. Quarterback Geno Smith has been traded to the Las Vegas Raiders for a third-round pick, while star wide receiver DK Metcalf has been sent to the Pittsburgh Steelers alongside a sixth-round pick for second and seventh-round selections. These trades suggest a reconfiguration of the team's passing game.

Free agency also saw the Seahawks lose several key players. Defensive lineman Dre'Mont Jones signed with the Tennessee Titans, while Roy Robertson-Harris and Stone Forsythe joined the New York Giants, and Laken Tomlinson moved to the Houston Texans. Cornerback Tre Brown's departure to the San Francisco 49ers adds to the defensive shakeup. However, Seattle has acquired significant talent as well, including wide receiver Cooper Kupp and quarterback Sam Darnold, aiming to bolster their offense amidst these changes.
