No team should be happier than the Seattle Seahawks after coming off a stunning win in Super Bowl LX. However, like every other NFL team, there is still work to do before the next season begins.
Part of that process includes filling out the coaching staff after seeing offensive coordinator Clint Kubiak become head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders. Now that the Seahawks have hired their replacement playcaller, Brian Fleury, they can focus on the roster.
There will be a number of decisions made on key free agents whose prices are sure to have increased following Seattle's successful playoff run. Players with expiring contracts include Super Bowl LX MVP Kenneth Walker III and All-Pro receiver/returner Rashid Shahid.
However, according to Martyr, he would "love" to sign a contract extension that would keep him in Seattle for years to come. He recently acknowledged this in a conversation with NFL.com's Judy Battista and NFL Network, saying he would like to "run it back" with his teammates.
“Absolutely, absolutely, yes,” said Shaheed. "The conversation is definitely going to heat up by March. But you know, I'd love to come back. I love the experience here, I love the Pacific Northwest, and obviously, the organization is second to none. I want to get back to running it. We just won the Super Bowl, so, you know, why not?"
The 27-year-old Martyr will certainly draw interest from other teams in free agency as well. So, if the Seahawks are serious about keeping him in town, they may want to negotiate a new deal and see what he's really worth before allowing him to hit the open market.
