A long rehabilitation process led Seattle Seahawks right tackle Abraham Lucas to a strong finish late in the 2024 season.

Negotiations will soon be under way as the Seahawks to re-sign some of their own free agents. Which ones will be most important to bring back in 2025?

D.J. Reed's path to free agency started with the San Francisco 49ers, who drafted him in the fifth round of the 2018 NFL Draft. Reed quickly became a key contributor, even reaching Super Bowl LIV in his second season, though the 49ers lost to the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Washington Commanders are in the NFC championship game after going 12-5 in the regular season and winning two playoff games.

And there there were four. The NFL playoffs have paired down to just four teams left who will duke it out this coming weekend for an opportunity to go to the Super Bowl. Meanwhile, 28 teams have
