Seattle has fallen victim to the same curse most winning teams fall to – free agency.

A large amount of talent has departed from the Seahawks’ roster, and while compensatory picks await the team in 2017, gaps in their depth chart are present now.

Jason Spriggs from Indiana can begin the process of replacing some of those gaps, namely the one left by the departure of player, and agent extraordinaire, Russell Okung.

The importance of protecting Russell Wilson cannot be understated, and it makes the Seahawks a prime location for the services of Spriggs at 26th overall.
