Sorry to say it but this time comes for every team: Offseason talk. Among the most important things to talk about every offseason is of course the Seattle Seahawks’ list of pending free agents. The Seahawks signed tackle Duane Brown and receiver Tyler Lockett to extensions last year http://www.seahawkslockerroom.com/authentic-germain-ifedi-jersey , but could not come to long term agreements with some other key players.Here’s who is set to become a free agent in March if they don’t sign before then:Frank Clark, DEK.J. Wright, OLBEarl Thomas, FSJustin Coleman, CBShamar Stephen, DTDion Jordan, DESebastian Janikowski, KD.J. Fluker, GJ.R. Sweezy, GMike Davis, RBNeiko Thorpe, STMychal Kendricks, OLBMaurice Alexander, SBrett Hundley, QBThose are just the unrestricted free agents, and as you can see, Seattle has a lot of work to do. If you excluded Thomas as a “starter” on the defense, since he did miss 12 games and many do not expect to return anyhow, that still includes six starters on offense and defense, plus the starting kicker.The Seahawks are currently projected at $63 million in cap space and $54 million in “effective cap space” by OvertheCap.com. That’s the third-most in the NFC after the San Francisco 49ers and Arizona Cardinals. Seattle is also expected to release safety Kam Chancellor, which will save them another $8 million against the cap, even without a post-June 1 designation. They’ll need plenty of space to start bringing back their own players, which I assume will again be a top priority over bringing in outside “big name” free agents.The Seahawks first concern will be Clark, who had 14 sacks this season. He’s likely looking to top the five-year, $72 million deal signed by Minnesota Vikings DE Danielle Hunter. A four-year, $68 million deal would make Clark the highest-paid 4-3 DE in the NFL at $17 million per year. If Seattle can’t come to an agreement, then a franchise tag would likely be applied and cost the Seahawks over $17 million for one season.Beyond that, they must decide which of their starting guards they want to/can afford to keep, if either; if they see a third contract as a viable option for Wright; if they see Stephen as a long-term option at defensive tackle; and what it’s worth to them to keep Coleman as the nickel cornerback. I would also see it as likely that Seattle starts searching for a new kicker.That still leaves the questions about Thomas, Davis, Jordan, Thorpe, Kendricks, and Hundley.Here are the restricted free agents (per Spotrac, could be errors):Tyler Ott, LSQuinton Jefferson Delano Hill Jersey Green , DEBranden Jackson, DEAkeem King, DBGeorge Fant, TTre Madden, FBAnd Exclusive Rights Free Agents (per spotrac):David Moore, WRJ.D. McKissic, RB/WRJoey Hunt, CAustin Calitro, LBEmmanuel Ellerbe, LBJordan Simmons, GShalom Luani, SAs of this morning, OvertheCap seems to be partially down and Spotrac lists Trevone Boykin as a Seahawk, so pardon any corrections that need to be made. There may also be a free agent or restricted free agent note to be applied to safety T.J. Mutcherson, DE Ricky Ali’Fua, or maybe cornerback Jeremy Boykins. Will update as necessary but whatever the case, Seattle is in no danger of losing a ERFA that they’d want to keep, including Moore, Calitro, Luani, and Simmons. Despite the presence of multiple first-round picks in the Minnesota Vikings’ secondary, former undrafted free agent Holton Hill has managed to carve out a major role for himself as a rookie.Hill was on the field for 64 of Minnesota’s 66 plays on defense in a 21-7 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Monday, the most of any Vikings cornerback.And while the Seahawks leaned heavily on their running game — Seattle ran the ball 42 times and attempted just 20 passes — Hill and the secondary held up admirably against quarterback Russell Wilson, holding him to 72 passing yards and an interception.The Texas product, nicknamed “Hollywood” since childhood, has gotten his turn under the spotlight this season with the Vikings shorthanded at cornerback.He filled in for Trae Waynes against Seattle, racking up eight total tackles and a pass defended, but this isn’t the first time he’s played a major role for the Vikings.Hill was on the field for 76 percent of the defense’s plays against the New England Patriots in Week 13, and played the whole game against the New Orleans Saints in Week 8.Hill logged his first career interception in Week 7, picking off New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold.More observations from Monday’s snap counts:— Waynes was held out with a concussion, while Xavier Rhodes was back to his usual workload after playing on just 61 percent of the defense’s snaps against the Patriots.— Running back Dalvin Cook, who has played anywhere from 57 to 88 percent of the offense’s snaps since returning to the lineup in Week 9, was especially involved against Seattle. He out-snapped fellow running back Latavius Murray 49-8.— Even C.J. Ham got more work than Murray, logging 10 snaps, his largest workload since Week 8.OFFENSEPLAYERPlays (58)%Elflein58100%Reiff58100%Compton58100%Remmers58100%Cousins58100%Rudolph5798%Thielen5697%Diggs5086%Cook4984%O’Neill4984%Treadwell3052%R.
