Free agency starts tomorrow at 1 pacific time I believe?

So give me your best guess:

1. The first free agent the Seahawks sign (agreeing to a deal with Percy Harvin doesnt count): Who will it be, and when will it be?

2. The first Seahawk to sign a deal elsewhere.

My prediction: The first free agent we sign will be Charles Woodson. Thursday afternoon.

First Seahawk to sign elsewhere: Jason Jones to Detroit, Tuesday evening. (I think Seattle would like to have him back but Detroit offers more years making them more appealing)

I hope you're right (at least on the first part). I was thinking we'd get Bryant but it might take a few days. After the trade today I think we might overpay a bit for a guy like Bryant just to land him. It certainly appears we're not waiting to try and win it in a couple years but going all in right now.

I expect the first FA we sign to be a very minor one (someone to provide depth/competition at a particular position), as I don't expect the Hawks to go 'all in' on any Michael Bennett/Desmond Bryant-type upper-tier FA's in the first couple of days (not that I'd mind if they did, though). So I'll go with Giants LB Keith Rivers, a former player of Carroll/Norton's at USC, to compete for the WLB job, and to provide depth at all 3 LB positions and contribute on ST's.

The first to sign elsewhere, I'll say, will be Alan Branch. There's always a market for scheme-versatile run-stuffers his size, and teams will be intrigued by his 2011 season. I expect Jason Jones' injury question marks to prolong his signing as teams do their due dilligence, and as his agent works to negotiate a best offer.

Jason Jones will join Detriot Tuesday and a lot of .Net will freak out about losing pass rushers then an hour or two later Abraham will sign with the Seahawks.
