Plugging several holes in the first week of free agency, the Seahawks still have one glaring need heading towards a critical 2025 NFL Draft, but that issue could be remedied as early as Monday.

Injuries have slowed down Cooper Kupp in recent seasons, but his remaining strengths should allow him to mesh well in Klint Kubiak’s scheme alongside Jaxon Smith-Njigba as part of a rebuilt Seahawks receiving corps.

Choosing to return to his home state after being courted by multiple teams, the Seahawks needed Cooper Kupp as much as the receiver needed them, making a three-year pact perfect for all parties.

Unlike a year ago, the Seahawks have prioritized signing players with previous links to their coaching staff this offseason, a trend that likely will continue as free agency progresses into the second and third phase.
