I know the practice here has been to not start the following season thread until later, but if I had a vote, I'd say the 2023 Seahawks off-season has already begun.

I've gone through the upcoming free agents and one thing I like to do is grade the upcoming unrestricted free agents as A, B or C.

A Current starter that would suck to lose.
B Quality roster player we we'd like to keep at the right price.
C Fringe roster guy.

Right now the only 'A' is Geno Smith

The 'B' players are Poona Ford, Cody Barton, Marquise Goodwin, Rashad Penny, Travis Homer, Drew Lock, Austin Blythe, Phil Haynes

The 'C' guys is a long list I don't really want to type, but includes L.J. Collier, Bruce Irvin and 14 other guys I won't expect back.

As for the Restricted free agents -- There are 3 guys. Ryan Neal we have to tender at a 2nd round value. Tanner Muse was originally a 3rd round pick so he'll be tendered at that level. Penny Hart won't be tendered as an RFA and may be back at a minimum deal later on.

Was also have 5 Exclusive Rights Free Agents. Michael Jackson, Myles Adams, Jon Rhattigan and Godwin Igwebuike will be tendered. Cody Thompson was on IR all year I suspect his time is passed.

We all must attend to our priorities.

The 2023 Roster page can wait.

Meanwhile supporters of your thread effort will continue to post.

Thanks for your loyalty in maintaining a roster thread.
