Seattle Seahawks' front office has been finding value this season, getting strong production relative to contract commitments. Across 15 contracts, 6 grade out as good value and 2 look like overpays based on comparable deals around the league. The best bang-for-the-buck deal was Brady Russell (A+) at $2.4M/yr — getting running back production well above the price point. The priciest commitment relative to production was George Holani (D+) at $1.1M/yr — the running back market may have been richer than the on-field return suggests. This front office is maximizing its cap dollars and building sustainable depth.
