Seattle's tender of exclusive rights free agent Ty Okada is a routine depth retention move. Multiple headlines highlight the Seahawks valuing continuity with their former Montana State prospect. Okada's ERFA status signals he's a reserve-level safety without starter upside. Fans appreciate the organizational consistency, though few see him as a long-term cornerstone. Expect Okada to compete for rotational snaps and special teams reps in 2024.

Okada's one-year, $1.145M AAV deal earns a C+ Contract Value Index (CVI) — a fair, largely unremarkable commitment that reflects the mechanical nature of exclusive rights tender signings rather than any aggressive front office maneuvering. At the league-minimum-adjacent $1.145M, the Seahawks retain full cost control over Okada, which is exactly how these situations are supposed to work — the player has no leverage, and Seattle pays accordingly. The CVI landing here reflects the uncertainty around Okada's production tier; with position data unavailable and no statistical profile to anchor a stronger valuation, this reads as roster maintenance rather than a calculated value play. There's virtually no structural risk in a single-year, fully non-guaranteed-adjacent deal at this price point — if Okada doesn't contribute, the cap damage is negligible for a 14-3 team operating from a position of organizational strength. What keeps this from climbing higher on the CVI scale is the absence of any demonstrable performance upside baked into the contract — this is a "hold the rights and see" move, not a "we believe in this player" investment. For a Seahawks squad that has earned the NFC's top seed, this kind of low-stakes roster housekeeping is sensible, but it won't move the needle on the depth chart in any meaningful way.
