A year ago many fans were clamoring for the Seattle Seahawks to release linebacker K.J. Wright in order to address a slight salary cap squeeze the team was facing with the 2020 NFL season on the horizon. The team, of course, did not acquiesce to these desires from fans, and Wright then proceeded to perform at a high level during the season, staying on the field for 86% of defensive snaps the Hawks played.
Fast forwarding a year to the present day, Wright remains unsigned as an unrestricted free agent coming off one of his best seasons.
