Germain Ifedi has been a lightning rod for criticism since being drafted by the Seattle Seahawks in 2016. His on field performance has failed to live up to the expectations of fans following the use of a first round pick to bring Ifedi to the Pacific Northwest. However, with Ifedi inching closer and closer to hitting free agency, and swing tackle George Fant appearing to be on the same express train out of town, fans have remained hopeful for an extension.
Those hopes may be hit with a harsh dose of reality in the coming days and weeks, as the free agent market for offensive linemen may have laid the cornerstones of its foundations on Monday.
