The Seattle Seahawks truly face a mountain in 2022 after shipping out Russell Wilson and cutting ties with Bobby Wagner. Pete Carroll will have to be utterly in 2022 and 2023 to make the Seahawks a true contender in the frigid NFC West. The Seahawks still have superb profiles on their team like D.K. Metcalf, Tyler Lockett, and Jamal Adams.

The Seahawks will still surely look to improve their Wilson-less squad in 2022. I expect them to aim to add a few under-the-radar pieces to their squad this offseason. With that said, here are a few remaining free agent targets for the Hawks:

• Jerry Hughes

The Hawks really need to find more talent at the edge rusher spot. Carlos Dunlap (8.5 sacks in 2021) doesn’t appear to be returning to Seattle and they could really use a replacement for him. I don’t expect them to be a key contender in the Jadeveon Clowney sweepstakes, but they could still obtain a much less expensive, talented veteran edge rusher like Jerry Hughes. The long-time Bills sack artist has 6.5 sacks in the past two seasons combined.

• Andy Dalton

The red rifle could be an excellent good value pickup for the Seahawks. Andy Dalton is basically the best backup QB option for Pete Carroll at the moment. It’s far from certain if Lock will pan out as the QB1 via health and productivity reasons. The former Broncos QB has started only 21 games in the past three seasons.

• Tavon Austin

The former Rams first-round pick Tavon Austin would be a fine WR3 and do-it-all weapon for the Seahawks. Austin can be a nice security blanket for Lock by catching screens from the slot and he can also make magic happen from the backfield on tosses. Austin could be the poor man’s version of Percey Harvin in the Seahawks offense.
