Why the Seahawks were never going to spend big in free agency

In the build up to free agency, many fans wanted the Seattle Seahawks to go big in free agency, dipping into the large talent pool that was out there in order to quickly improve the team. Whether they wanted the team to aggressively pursue free agent offensive linemen like Kevin Zeitler or Corey Linsley, or bring in an offensive weapon along the lines of Jonnu Smith or Kenny Golladay, the calls were plentiful. So far, however, what the team has done is added tight end Gerald Everett and Akhello Witherspoon on one year contracts, while trading for guard Gabe Jackson and the two years remaining on his contract.
