LB K.J. Wright

It would break the hearts of the 12th Man to see K.J. Wright in a different uniform in 2019, which is why he finds himself on this list as a target for the Seahawks to sign this offseason.

While Wright will be 30 and coming off of an injury that sidelined him most of 2018, he has still been extremely productive in his career, and with limited draft picks, Seattle should look to fill as many holes as they can in-house.

Although he managed only 23 tackles in five games in 2018, Wright tallied over 100 tackles in the four years prior while also recording seven sacks and seven forced fumbles from his outside backer position in that span. While names like Anthony Barr and Thomas Davis will hit free agency, re-signing Wright would make the most sense for the Seahawks.

Coming off of an expiring contract with the team that netted him $6.75 million annually, Wright could be looking at upwards of $7.5 million annually in a new deal. This is a similar deal that the likes of Sean Lee, Kiko Alonso and Nigel Bradham have gotten in recent years from their respective teams, so there would be no reason why Wright would not be worthy of the same type of deal.
