Fantasy Impact: After missing much of the 2024 season with a Lisfranc injury, Seattle took a chance on the 12-year veteran and signed Lawrence to a three-year, $32.5 million contract. He rewarded the Seahawks by earning Pro Bowl honors after finishing with 53 tackles, 11 tackles for a loss, six sacks, three forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries, and two defensive touchdowns in 16 games during the regular season. He added seven tackles, two sacks, three tackles for a loss, and three forced fumbles in three postseason games. Lawrence, who spent 11 of his 12 seasons with Dallas, has 67.5 career sacks in 157 games. It would be a significant loss for the Seahawks if Lawrence decided to walk away.

Rashid Shaheed, who ended up in Seattle from New Orleans at the trade deadline, hopes to return to the Pacific Northwest for a Super Bowl title defense in 2026. (Source: Pro Football Talk on X)

Fantasy Impact: Shaheed was a game-changer for the Seahawks and their Super Bowl title run upon his arrival from New Orleans. Although he only caught 15 passes for 188 yards in nine regular season games with the Seahawks, he averaged 29.9 yards per kickoff return and 16.2 yards per punt return with two return touchdowns. He added three catches for 78 yards in three postseason games but kicked off the Seahawks' postseason run with a 95-yard kickoff return for a score on the first play in Seattle's Divisional Round win over the 49ers. Shaheed is a deep threat and a dynamic special teams player who should be on Seattle's list to attempt to work out a deal this offseason.
