The 2026 NFL Draft has come and gone, and while the Seattle Seahawks made their mark with a strong draft class highlighted by their early-round selections, the work of roster building is far from over. As is tradition, the front office has turned its attention to the undrafted free agent market--a pool that has historically produced some of the franchise's most beloved and impactful players.
Just hours after the final pick of the 2026 draft was submitted, the Seahawks began locking in agreements with priority undrafted free agents (UDFAs) from across the country. These are not simply camp bodies; they are athletes with legitimate NFL traits who, for various reasons--character concerns, injury histories, small-school competition, or simple draft-day math--did not hear their names called over the weekend.
According to a report from Sports Illustrated on April 28, 2026, the Seahawks have been aggressive in securing commitments from a diverse group of prospects. While the full list is still evolving as agents finalize deals, here is what we know so far, along with analysis of which signings have the best chance to turn into roster-worthy contributors.
Why the Seahawks Love the UDFA Market
Seattle's front office, under the direction of general manager John Schneider, has long treated the undrafted free agent period as a second draft. It is a philosophy born of necessity in the post-LOB era, but also one that has yielded remarkable results. From Doug Baldwin and Jermaine Kearse to more recent finds like Tyler Lockett (though he was drafted) and offensive linemen who have overperformed their draft slots, the Seahawks have consistently mined gold from the undrafted ranks.
This year, the team entered the draft with a clear set of needs--offensive line depth, cornerback competition, pass rush help, and a young receiver to develop. The draft addressed some of those priorities, but the UDFA haul is where Seattle will look to plug multiple holes on the cheap. With salary cap constraints always a concern, finding a starting-caliber player or even a reliable rotational contributor on a three-year, minimum-salary deal is a massive value.
The Headliners: Priority UDFAs to Know
As first reported by Sports Illustrated and confirmed by multiple sources, the Seahawks have agreed to terms with several high-profile undrafted free agents. Here are the most notable names to keep an eye on.
Jalen Coit, Wide Receiver, Fresno State
Perhaps the most intriguing signing of the UDFA class, Coit is a route-running technician who produced consistently at Fresno State. At 5-foot-11 and 195 pounds, he lacks the elite size and explosive testing numbers that NFL teams covet on Day 1 or Day 2 of the draft, but his tape tells a different story. Coit has crisp breaks, reliable hands, and a knack for finding soft spots in zone coverage.
In Seattle's offense, which relies heavily on horizontal spacing and yards after the catch, Coit's skill set is a natural fit. He projects as a slot receiver who could eventually compete with the team's veteran starters. The Seahawks are never afraid to churn the bottom of the wide receiver depth chart, and Coit has the polish to make a real push for a practice squad spot, or even a roster berth if he shines on special teams.
Marcus Farrow, Edge Rusher, Arkansas State
Farrow is the kind of athletic, high-motor pass rusher that the Seahawks have historically fallen in love with. Standing 6-foot-3 and 248 pounds, he posted 10.5 sacks in his final collegiate season. He tested well at his pro day, showing above-average burst and bend off the edge. The knock on Farrow is that he did not consistently play against top-tier competition, and his run defense is a work in progress.
In Seattle's defensive scheme, Farrow could be deployed as a designated pass rusher early in his career. The Seahawks are always looking to rotate fresh legs on the defensive line, and if Farrow can show he can contribute in sub-packages, he has a real path to the 53-man roster. The team's defensive coordinator has a track record of maximizing the potential of athletic edge rushers, and Farrow fits that profile perfectly.
Trenton Beauchamp, Linebacker, Colorado
Beauchamp is a tackling machine who flew around the field for the Buffaloes. He finished his senior season with 118 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss, and two interceptions. He is an instinctive linebacker who plays downhill with a mean streak. However, his lack of elite top-end speed dropped him out of the draft, as he ran a 4.72 40-yard dash at his pro day.
That 40 time might scare some teams off, but Beauchamp plays faster than he times. He diagnoses plays quickly and takes efficient angles to the ball carrier. For Seattle, which is always looking to bolster its linebacker depth behind the starting duo, Beauchamp could be a core special teams player and a reliable insurance policy. If he can prove he can handle coverage duties on passing downs, he could carve out a long-term role.
Devon Crawford, Offensive Tackle, Northwestern
Crawford is a massive human being--listed at 6-foot-7 and 325 pounds--with the kind of length that NFL offensive line coaches dream about. He started 24 games over the last two seasons for Northwestern, primarily at right tackle. His technique is raw, and he struggled at times against speed rushers in the Big Ten, but the physical tools are undeniable.
The Seahawks offensive line is a unit in transition. The team has invested draft capital in the position, but there is always room for a developmental tackle with Crawford's frame. If the offensive line coach can refine Crawford's footwork and hand placement, he could develop into a swing tackle down the road. This is a classic low-risk, high-reward projection.
Other Notable Signings
According to the Sports Illustrated report, the Seahawks have also reached agreements with approximately 10 other undrafted free agents. These players will be officially announced once their contracts are finalized, but the names being discussed include:
- Kyle Harmon, Cornerback, Troy - A physical press-man corner who played with an edge. He has good ball skills (9 career interceptions) but needs to improve his recovery speed.
- Isaiah Cole, Safety, Texas A&M - A versatile defensive back who can play both safety spots and even some nickel. He is a sure tackler and a special teams ace.
- Derek Pugh, Wide Receiver, Boise State - A deep threat who averaged over 19 yards per reception in his final season. He has elite straight-line speed.
- Brendan O'Malley, Defensive Tackle, Wisconsin - A space-eating run stopper who commands double teams. He is not a pass rusher, but he could help Seattle's run defense on early downs.
Which Hidden Gems Could Actually Make the Roster?
Not every UDFA signing makes it to training camp, and fewer still earn a spot on the final 53. However, history tells us that the Seahawks will keep one or two undrafted players each year. So who has the best shot?
Jalen Coit stands out because the Seahawks love receiver competition, and his polish as a route runner gives him a floor that most UDFAs lack. He could push for the fifth or sixth wide receiver spot.
Marcus Farrow is the classic Seahawks edge rusher project. If he shows up to camp with a refined pass-rush plan, he is the type of player who can carve out a rotational role, especially if injuries hit the defensive line.
Trenton Beauchamp has a clear path: dominate on special teams. If he can become a core-four special teams player in his first camp, the coaching staff will find a way to keep him.
Devon Crawford is a longer shot given the technical work required, but Seattle's offensive line depth is thin enough that a team should give him a serious look. Practice squad feels like a realistic landing spot.
What This Means for the Seahawks' Roster Outlook
The undrafted free agent class of 2026 is not going to make headlines in Seattle, but it could quietly provide the depth and upside the roster needs. In a salary cap era, hitting on even one UDFA each year is a massive win.
The Seahawks are not a team that sits on its hands after the draft. They are actively trying to create competition at every position group. The addition of these UDFAs--combined with the team's drafted rookies and returning veterans--should make for one of the most competitive training camps in recent memory.
For now, Seahawks fans should keep a close eye on the names listed above. In a few months, one of these undrafted gems could be flying across the Lumen Field turf on gameday, reminding us all that the draft is just the beginning of the story.
As more signings are confirmed and official transactions are filed, the Seahawks' UDFA tracker will continue to grow. But even with what we know today, it is clear that Seattle remains aggressive, creative, and willing to find talent wherever it hides.
