When free agency opened, the Seattle Seahawks set about to put together the first roster of a new era. Gone was the long time duo of Pete Carroll and John Schneider, with Schneider now teaming up with first year head coach Mike Macdonald to build out a roster to compete with the likes of the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams.
During their first free agency together, that meant watching both of the starting inside linebackers from the 2023 team leave, with Jordyn Brooks quickly signing with the Miami Dolphins, and Bobby Wagner landing with former Seattle defensive coordinator Dan Quinn with the Washington Commanders.
