According to ESPN's Ben Solak, Seattle Seahawks general manager John Schneider is predicted to prioritize re-signing safety Coby Bryant as the team's top free agent target this offseason. Bryant, 26, has been a solid contributor in the Seahawks' secondary, recording four interceptions in 2026 and three the previous year. While the Seahawks have nearly $60 million in cap space to work with, they also have looming extensions for Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Devon Witherspoon to consider.
Why it matters
The Seahawks have several key free agents this offseason, including running back Kenneth Walker III and wide receiver Rashid Shaheed, so deciding which players to prioritize will be a critical decision for the team's future. Retaining Coby Bryant would help provide stability in the secondary, but the Seahawks may also look to the draft or cheaper free agents to pair with Julian Love at safety.
The details
According to ESPN's Ben Solak, he predicts that Seahawks general manager John Schneider will prioritize re-signing safety Coby Bryant over cornerback Riq Woolen and cornerback Josh Jobe. Bryant, 26, has been a solid contributor in the Seahawks' secondary, recording four interceptions in 2026 and three the previous year. Solak believes Bryant "pairs well with Julian Love" and could be Schneider's top priority this offseason.
