Much to the dismay of a large segment of the team’s fan base, the Seahawks have remained quiet signing veteran offensive linemen despite nearly half a dozen visits this week. What’s behind the lack of activity? And is a signing still a possibility?

Now in bargain shopping mode, the Seahawks have been busy investigating several potential options to reinforce the interior of their offensive line. But do any of the three reported guards who have visited the VMAC represent an upgrade?

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.

While several quality veteran offensive linemen were plucked up by other teams on the first day of the legal tampering period, plenty of options remain available for the Seahawks to upgrade at center and/or guard.

The Seahawks continue to be optimistic about several young guards currently on the roster, but making a splash in free agency could be on the menu to shore up the team’s biggest weakness.
