Pre-Snap Reads 3/12: Seahawks retain some, lose some on first day of free agency

Read!

First day of free agency has been both positive and negative for our Seattle Seahawks. Losing Will Dissly, Colby Parkinson, Jordyn Brooks, and Damien Lewis leaves quite a noticeable hole in our unfinished kitchen remodel of a roster. Re-signing Leonard Williams and Noah Fant seems satisfying to some extent but certainly, we all understand that our squad has a lot of work to do. With each passing day, we will see the body our our roster take shape and form into, hopefully, a wonderfully well-oiled machine.
