Fantasy Impact: Shenault finished last season with 60 receiving yards on 10 receptions in eight games last season. The former second-round pick will look to have a bounce back season in Seattle.

Fantasy Impact: In early March, Macdonald was noncommittal on whether or not Smith would be the team's starter in 2023. When new regimes come in, it provides the opportunity for starting roles to shift as loyalty is reset. Further uncertainty came when Seattle traded for Howell, albeit the acquisition was a low-cost move. However, Smith will be the starter, says Macdonald; the veteran passer has 7,906 yards and 50 touchdowns through the air over the last two seasons en route to consecutive Pro Bowl nods.

Fantasy Impact: Macdonald continued by saying that he believes Howell has a "bright future" that the team believes in. While that could be nothing more than coach speak, the Seahawks went out of their way to acquire the former fifth-rounder via trade. Howell has proven statistical production (3,946 passing yards and 21 touchdowns in 2023) but also was not efficient (21 interceptions and 23rd in EPA+CPOE composite in 2023). He could have a chance to develop behind Smith, who has two years left on his deal.

Former Seattle Seahawks RB DeeJay Dallas plans to sign with the Arizona Cardinals when the new league year starts. (Source: Jordan Schultz on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Dallas, a former fourth-round pick who has spent the last four seasons with Seattle, is set to join the Cardinals, staying in the NFC West. The former Miami Hurricane will likely occupy a similar role in the desert as he did in Seattle: depth RB who serves as a returner and special teams contributor. Dallas has played over 50% of his team's special teams snaps each of the last three seasons and will provide depth alongside James Conner, Emari Demercado and Michael Carter.

The Giants signed Drew Lock to a one-year deal worth $5 million. (Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Lock was part of the trade that sent Russell Wilson to the Seahawks. He made two starts last season in Seattle. He will likely backup Daniel Jones, though it is possible there is a bit of a competition in training camp. It'll also be worth monitoring to see if the Giants draft a quarterback next month.

Fantasy Impact: Lewis will join Robert Hunt as the big free agent additions to the offensive line made by Carolina. He spent the first four years of his career in Seattle where he spent the majority of his time as a starter. Carolina making a clear emphasis to improve the interior of the offensive line.

The Seahawks are bringing back Leonard Williams on a three-year deal worth $21.5 million per year. (Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Williams will remain in Seattle after the Seahawks traded for him at the deadline last year. He should remain a huge part of the defensive line under a new coaching regime in Seattle.

The Seahawks have re-signed Noah Fant to a two-year deal worth $21 million. (Source: Jordan Schultz on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Fant was part of the trade package that sent Russell Wilson to Seattle from the Broncos. He had a limited role last season sharing snaps with Will Dissly and Colby Parkinson. With those two leaving in free agency, Fant should be on the field a lot more and could be an intriguing tight end to target in the double-digit rounds of fantasy drafts.

Jordyn Brooks has agreed to terms with the Miami Dolphins on a three-year, $30 million deal. (Source: Adam Schefter on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Brooks will head to Miami after spending the first four seasons of his career with the Seahawks. He logged a career-high 4.5 sacks last year with one interception.

Fantasy Impact: Parkinson has spent the first four seasons of his career in Seattle where he has played as a rotational TE. He will make $22.5 million with $15.5 million guaranteed in L.A.; he had 57 catches for 618 yards and four touchdowns as a Seahawk.

Veteran WR Tyler Lockett and the Seattle Seahawks have agreed on a restructured deal that keeps the wideout in town for 2024 while moving some money back into 2025. (Source: Tom Pelissero on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Lockett was initially owed two years and $34 million, but with the restructure he is owed two years and $30 million with a max value of $34 million. He is also guaranteed nearly $13 million in 2024. Lockett's time in Seattle continues, likely keeping a cap on young WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba's short-term upside as Lockett averages about 79 catches for 1,074 yards and seven touchdowns over his previous three seasons.

Tight end Will Dissly is being released by the Seattle Seahawks after six seasons with the team. (Source: Tom Pelissero on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Dissly, a 27-year-old tight end has only played with the Seahawks in his NFL career, accumulating 127 catches for 1,421 yards and 13 scores. Dissly appeared in 72 games for Seattle and could provide bench depth at TE as he potentially plays for just the second team in his NFL career. He caught 17 passes for 172 yards while splitting snaps with Noah Fant and Colby Parkinson in 2023.

The Seahawks have released safety Jamal Adams. (Source: Tom Pelissero on Twitter )

Fantasy Impact: With the release of Adams and Quandre Diggs, the Seahawks will save $27.5 million in cap space. Adams suited up in just nine games last season and did not record an interception or sack in that span.

The Seattle Seahawks hired Mike Macdonald as the team's next head coach. (Source: Adam Schefter on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Macdonald completed his second interview Wednesday morning and the deal was announced shortly later. He led the Ravens to arguably the best defense in the league this past season, allowing the fewest points per game (16.5). He becomes the youngest head coach in the NFL.

Fantasy Impact: Walker returned after he was sidelined on Wednesday. He should remain in his workhorse role this weekend for Seattle as they need a win and Packers' loss to make the playoffs.
