Their Super Bowl is not even a day old, but it's not soon enough for the Seahawks to begin preparing for the next one. Free agency begins March 3, and the team must quickly make decisions regarding 15 pending free agents, with emphasis on All-Pro running back Shaun Alexander and All-Pro guard Steve Hutchinson. The good news is that Alexander, Hutchinson and All-Pro fullback Mack Strong are the only regular starters on either side of the ball scheduled to become free agents. The bad news is that Alexander and Hutchinson will cost the team a lot of money to re-sign. The Seahawks did not want to talk about possible offseason plans while the season was ongoing, but they have the money to keep most of their key players and perhaps add a few. According to an NFL Players Association source, the Seahawks have $76 million committed against the 2006 salary cap, which is projected to be between $92 million and $95 million. That gives the Seahawks at least $16 million to sign Alexander, Hutchinson and any others, including their three restricted free agents and their draft class.
