The legal tampering period for the NFL is set to begin a week from Monday, with the official start of free agency following just a couple days later. For many fans this is a time of optimism, as they begin to look over the names of the players who will be available to sign, while for others it is a time to look back at the 2020 free agency period and wonder how things could go so wrong for the Seattle Seahawks.
The Hawks signed multiple outside free agents last spring, and while guys like Brandon Shell and Benson Mayowa were solid contributors, others provided little to nothing.
