Seahawks unlikely to land multiple third-round compensatory picks in 2026

Seattle is poised to lose several top free agents, but the NFL compensatory-pick formula makes it unlikely they’ll net more than one third-round pick. Even if multiple players depart, teams can receive at most four compensatory picks, and reaching a third-round value requires elite contracts the Seahawks’ targets are unlikely to command. At best they could land some 4th–7th round picks, with a single third-round pick being the most realistic outcome.
