No quarterback in the NFL was sacked more than Justin Fields despite the fact he dropped back to pass the 19th most times. His league-high scramble rate and time to throw are clear signs this front office needs to put most of their resources into building the league-worst passing game up from the bottom.

While a strong case can be made for the fact the team did not set up quarterback Davis Mills for success, enough has been seen to justify pursuing their next franchise signal caller. An offense that averaged a league-low 4.7 yards per play needs get the head of the snake under control.

The top two corners on a team that was already weak at the position are heading toward free agency. With or without them, an infusion of talent needs to be shoved into the position to help that allowed the fifth most touchdowns through the air in the league.

The year-after-year veteran quarterback experiments bottomed out in 2022, as the team was number one in the league in total turnovers, interceptions thrown, and fumbles lost. It is time to put stitches on the gaping wound they’ve been trying to patch up with a band-aid.

Whether they like it or not, this team is pot-committed to quarterback Russell Wilson for at least another two seasons. Their mission needs to be putting the most amount of support around and in front of him with economic, rookie contracts.

Key FA: S Taylor Rapp, CB Troy Hill, DL Ashawn Robinson
Two straight seasons of a bottom-half defense despite All-Pro talents at all three levels respectively; that is hard to do. Whether Rapp is re-signed or not, they will need to infuse more talent to their safety group because the funds simply will not be there to go the veteran route.

After six straight years of top ten yards allowed by the defense from 2014-2019, that side of the ball has fallen off a cliff and it all comes down to a lack of a complement to DT Grady Jarrett. An outside threat would be most ideal.
