The Seattle Seahawks are in the spotlight for their upcoming divisional round game against the San Francisco 49ers. But there's more to the story. Two standout players, Coby Bryant and Rashid Shaheed, are set to become free agents after the season.
Coby Bryant has been a game-changer for the Seahawks. He's not just a cornerback anymore; he's a safety who's quickly become a key player. With the Seahawks having plenty of cap space, it's likely they'll want to keep him. Bryant's performance this season speaks for itself: 39 solo tackles, 27 assists, and four interceptions in just 15 games. Keeping a player like him makes sense for a team that's currently the No. 1 seed in the NFC.
Rashid Shaheed is another player who's made a big impact since joining the Seahawks mid-season. He brings speed and versatility to the team, something they've lacked. Even though his role in Seattle isn't as big as it was in New Orleans, his impact is undeniable. Shaheed has expressed his desire to stay with the Seahawks, saying he feels like he was brought there for a reason.
But will the Seahawks be able to keep both players? It's not just about what the players want; it's also about what the team can offer. With the NFL season coming to an end, the Seahawks have some big decisions to make. Keeping Bryant and Shaheed would be a strong move, but it's not guaranteed. The free-agency market can be unpredictable, and other teams might try to lure these talented players away.
