The Seattle Seahawks weren't among the four teams said to be interested in soon-to-be free agent offensive tackle Russell Okung; however, the former sixth overall pick by the Seahawks may wish to return to the Emerald City nonetheless.

The New York Jets, Los Angeles Chargers, Minnesota Vikings and New York Giants were all said to have interest per a Tuesday report by CBS Sports Jason La Canfora. The Seahawks were conspicuously missing from the report, despite a need at offensive tackle.

Still, according to 710 ESPN Seattle's Danny O'Neil, Okung would return to Seattle if the situation was right, despite negotiations ending sourly last offseason. Okung ultimately signed a "prove it" deal with Denver Broncos, but they did not pick up his option to pick up the rest of his substantial contract moving forward; thus he becomes a free agent next week.

The Seahawks weren't willing to shell out big money for their best offensive lineman in 2015 and instead chose to go younger in 2016 to mixed results. But, now that Okung has put together a healthy season, playing all 16 games; they may reconsider.

He never logged a full season of work in Seattle, missing 24 games in six seasons.

Standing in the way could be Okung's negotiating skills. He went without an agent last season and has not reconsidered doing so again to date. The Seahawks never seemed to be serious players for his services once free agency started.

But, for now, he has interest in returning to the place his career began. The question now is does Seattle return his advances.
