By all accounts, the Seattle Seahawks have enjoyed a productive free agency and offseason. 

Though they are still shopping at quarterback, the Seahawks re-signed Geno Smith to a team-friendly three-year contract. They also brought back backup quarterback Drew Lock on a one-year contract. 

Then on the defensive side of the ball, Seattle brought back Bobby Wagner and agreed to a three-year contract with defensive lineman Dre'Mont Jones while Seattle also added Devin Bush, Jarran Reed, and safety Julian Love. 

It has been a busy few weeks for the Seahawks. But most media outlets are praising the organization's process in its approach to filling holes on the roster and adding depth at critical positions. 

In a recent Pro Football Focus article, they gave their favorite and least favorite Seahawks roster moves of the offseason. 

Their favorite Seahawks move: bringing in former New York Giants captain, Love. 

Their least favorite move: letting Al Woods walk. 

The rationale for supporting the Love signing is the following: 

Love had a career year in 2022, logging over 1,000 snaps for the first time in a season and earning a 71.5 coverage grade with two interceptions and three more pass breakups. The versatile safety also racked up 30 defensive stops and missed just 5.5% of tackle opportunities, his third straight season of 6.5% or lower, resulting in an 87.5 tackling grade. Love logged over 150 snaps in the slot, down in the box, and as a free safety in 2022, and his addition could enable Jamal Adams to be used in a ton of different ways. Seattle can do a lot of mix and matching on the backend, with Adams and Love able to play down on the line all the way back to the deep third. Pete Carroll will be cooking a lot of things up with his defensive backs. 

It is a move that makes sense for the Seahawks. The organization is banking on Love backing up his career year in 2022 with more production in a role where he will be asked to be a leader on a defense that needed reshaping. 

As for the rationale for Woods, take a look: 

"Sure, Woods will be 36 years old in Week 1, but his run-defense grades in each of the last five seasons were all above 65.0, and his cumulative 79.0 mark over the stretch is in the top 20 of all interior defenders. With Poona Ford also remaining unsigned, Seattle could stand to add a run-stuffer on the interior."

Woods is where opinions differ. His age is a larger factor in why the Seahawks elected to go in a different direction. There are only a few good years he has left, and Seattle got the best of his production. Cutting ties with him gives the opportunity to younger players in the same position which can lead to needed production.
