Free agency has one tweak once the draft ends.
With the NFL Draft all wrapped up, the next major date on the NFL calendar is the release of the regular season schedule, which we should get in mid-May. What’s more important to note regarding roster building is the significance of the Monday after the draft.
Any unrestricted free agents signed after 4 pm ET/1 pm PT on April 29 will no longer count in the compensatory pick formula. The only Seattle Seahawks UFA who remains unsigned (well, not counting Jason Peters) is guard Phil Haynes. The Miami Dolphins reportedly brought in Haynes for a visit but didn’t sign him. It’s unlikely that Haynes would sign for an amount that would net the Seahawks an extra comp pick, but it’s still worth noting.
Here’s the Seahawks’ current comp pick situation, which should finally get them extra draft choices next year:
Projected Comp Picks
Damien Lewis (4 years, $53 million, $13.25 million APY): Projected 4th round pick
Jordyn Brooks (3 years, $26.5 million, $8.75 million APY): Projected 5th round pick
Canceled Out Comp Picks
Bobby Wagner (1-year, $6 million): Projected 6th round pick (offset by George Fant)
Colby Parkinson (3 years, $22.5 million, $7.5 million APY): Projected 6th round pick (offset by Pharaoh Brown)
Drew Lock (1-year, $5 million): Projected 6th round pick (offset by Tyrel Dodson)
That fifth-rounder for Brooks is important to note because Seattle lost a 2025 fifth-rounder in the Leonard Williams trade.
Here are some notable UFAs across the NFL who are unsigned:
- QB Ryan Tannehill
- CB Adoree’ Jackson
- WR Tyler Boyd
- CB Stephon Gilmore
- S Micah Hyde
- EDGE Carl Lawson
- LG Connor Williams
- RT Riley Reiff
- S Jayron Kearse
