Bobby Wagner

Quarterback Russell Wilson's contract situation gets the overwhelming majority of press, but he's far from the only key Seahawks player heading into the final year of their current contract.

The Seahawks have 21 players who will be unrestricted free agents after the season unless the Seahawks sign them to an extension. They're not expected to sign them all, especially if Wilson winds up getting the big contract he is looking for.

In addition to Wilson, linebacker Bobby Wagner, offensive tackle Russell Okung, defensive tackle Brandon Mebane, linebacker Bruce Irvin, guard J.R. Sweezy, defensive tackle Tony McDaniel, cornerback Jeremy Lane, and wide receiver Jermaine Kearse are just a few notable players who would be unrestricted free agents after the year.

Whether or not Wilson signs anytime soon is anyone's guess. Wagner is next on the priority list; Jason LaCanfora of CBS Sports reported in June that Wagner and the Seahawks likely weren't far apart in terms of dollar amounts.

As for the others, it wouldn't be a surprise if several of them parted ways with the Seahawks after the season -- if Wilson and Wagner come to terms on a deal.

"That leaves little in the way of wriggle room for the rest of Seattle’s 2016 free-agent class," wrote Bill Barnwell of Grantland.com. "Irvin is as good as gone. Three-quarters of the team’s defensive tackle rotation — Brandon Mebane, Tony McDaniel, and Ahtyba Rubin — will be on the way out. The team will probably need to cut bait on veterans Steven Hauschka and (Doug) Baldwin, which would combine to clear nearly $7 million in cap space. And incredibly named guard J.R. Sweezy is one of two starting offensive linemen whose contracts will be due, with the other lineman looming as a far more meaningful loss.

"Okung’s six-year, $48.5 million rookie contract expires at the end of this season, and given the sheer amount of money Schneider is going to commit elsewhere over the next 12 months, there doesn’t appear to be much space left for paying the team’s Pro Bowl left tackle. It’s not a good sign for his future with the team that Okung hasn’t already signed an extension, and if he hits the free-agent market, Seattle will likely be priced out of a deal."

Here is a list of pending free agents, per OverTheCap.com:

Unrestricted: OT Russell Okung, DT Brandon Mebane, DT Tony McDaniel, DT Ahtyba Rubin, WR Jermaine Kearse, LB Bruce Irvin, P Jon Ryan, QB Tarvaris Jackson, LB Bobby Wagner, OLB Michael Morgan, CB Will Blackmon, TE Anthony McCoy, FB Will Tukuafu, TE Demarcus Dobbs, C Lemuel Jeanpierre, DT Greg Scruggs, QB Russell Wilson, RB Robert Turbin, DT D'Anthony Smith, CB Jeremy Lane, G J.R. Sweezy.

Restricted: S DeShawn Shead, WR Ricardo Lockette, C Patrick Lewis, OT Alvin Bailey, RB Derrick Coleman, DT Jesse Williams

Exclusive Rights Free Agent: DE David King, S Steven Terrell, G Keavon Milton, TE Cooper Helfet, CB Marcus Burley, WR Chris Matthews

That's certainly a big list -- over 1/3 of the current 90-man roster. Perhaps a name or two will be knocked off that list in the weeks to come.
