With plenty of spending power and a roster that’s Super Bowl-ready, the Seattle Seahawks could target one of these big names during 2019 NFL free agency.

During the 2018 NFL season, the Seattle Seahawks were one of the biggest surprises. Despite an offseason overhaul and numerous losses, they willed their way into the postseason. Now, they look towards what seems like an even brighter future.

Why is it brighter? Well for the starters, they’re a young, up-and-coming team with plenty of quality playmakers to build around. Then, there’s the $52 million in cap space they carry with them into 2019 NFL free agency (via Spotrac.com) That’s more than enough spending power to make a splash or two.

So who could/should the Seahawks be targeting with that money? There will be plenty of top talent to go after this offseason, assuming it isn’t all re-signed or franchise tagged. Either way, expect Seattle to be in the thick of things when the free agency festivities begin in early March.

For now, let’s focus on a few players the Seahawks should have their sights set on. These players fill potential needs while bringing enough to the table to further the franchise’s hopes of making a deep playoff run next season.
