Seahawks fared very well in free agency so far this year. Tim Ruskell took a hard look at the failures in defending the pass and brought in guys with motors who are strong leaders as well. Womack has returned, however there are still holes on the offense to tend to. What will Ruskell do?

Free agency began on March 1st. Over 113 of the 307 free agents have already changed teams in the first 10 days. More than $1 Billion dollars in contracts has been transacted.

Your SeahawkBlue Front Page will be your resource center for all of your free agency information.

Thanks to new collective bargaining agreement (CBA) between the players and owners, $millions were added to the salary cap this year. Teams have been signing their own because of the inflated cap.

Thus far our beloved Seahawks have signed NFL superstar Derek Rackley, longsnapper without a team before Darche's injury last year.

Don't dismay, Tim Ruskell and team are notorius for keeping mum and delaying announcements til last minute. Why divulge information to your competitors? Expect cellular minutes to be exhausted by general managers, players agents and players.

All teams are required by the CBA to remain under a salary cap. Current salary cap status for each team are tentative due to bonuses and player cuts that are on-going at this time. On page 2 of current salary cap status, you will find the franchise tender dollar amounts.

Ruskell is determined to get this team back to the Super Bowl and he has a plan, “We’re happy with a lot of the roster we already have,” Ruskell said. “We’ll be aggressive in free agency – not with the quantity, but with the quality. We know what direction we’re going.”

Our NFL Correspondent from Denmark, Kelly, chimes in with some Free Agency FAQs. Mike Sando reports that Kris Dielman will be in Seattle Friday and Kerney arriving on Saturday. John Clayton discloses on KJR that the Hawks prefer Graham over Stevens at TE.

Seahawk Nation is already speculating on which Seahawk players will be released by the front office. Others are predicting the Seahawk free agents who Tim Ruskell and company will sign.
