No issues with Seahawks losing Mafe, Bryant and Walker given how much money they got paid, but I am very surprised that the team wasn't immediately prepared to pivot to another back, either Travis Etienne at the premium level or Gainwell / Algeier at the more budget-conscious level. With Charbonnet injured and Kenny McIntosh having never done anything in the NFL and also coming off an injury, the only guy there is Holani. He's fine as a secondary back but I don't love that.
Losing Mafe also requires replacement but I don't think that'll be too much of an issue to find someone equally serviceable. Bryant's replacement was already ready to succeed him (Okada).
Presumably Woolen will be gone too, which is why I thought they should franchise him and at worst trade him later on for something.
