Iupati signed a one-year deal with the Seahawks on Thursday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports,
Iupati started all 39 games he played in for the Cardinals the past four seasons. The Idaho product will likely draw a starting role on the Seattle offensive line, presumably at guard.
Wright has agreed to a two-year contract to remain with Seattle, Gregg Bell of the Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Wright presumably explored the open market in search of a lucrative long-term deal, but the Pro-Bowler's return to Seattle -- on a short-term deal -- suggests he didn't find what he was looking for. In any event, Wright now appears set to remain in a similar role he's had the past few seasons with Seattle in which the linebacker topped 100 tackles in every season from 2014 to 2017 before being limited to five games in 2018.

The Seahawks tendered Simmons a contract for 2019 on Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Simmons started the first three games of his NFL career last season after joining Seattle as a waiver-wire pickup. He sustained a knee injury during a Week 17 win over the 49ers that kept him out for the postseason, but he's expected to make a full recovery before the start of training camp.

The Seahawks tendered Calitro a contract for 2019 on Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Calitro appeared in all 16 regular-season contests for Seattle in 2018, logging 45 tackles and a half sack. The 25-year-old played over 40 snaps in only four games, during which he averaged eight tackles. With K.J. Wright set to test his market in free agency, Calitro could be in line for an increased role during the upcoming campaign.

Seahawks' David Moore: Receives tender from Seattle

The Seahawks extended a tender to Moore, an exclusive rights free agent, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Moore has built himself up from a 2017 seventh-round pick that spent most of his rookie year on the practice squad to a regular contributor on offense last season. While he had a 22-413-5 line on 36 targets in eight games between Weeks 4 and 12, he otherwise managed just four catches (on 17 targets) for 32 yards and no scores in the other eight contests. Clearly, the Seahawks will hope he can channel that productive mid-season stretch more consistently in 2019.

Seahawks' J.D. McKissic: Receives tender

4D ago
The Seahawks tendered McKissic a contract for 2019 on Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
McKissic spent the first 11 games of last season on injured reserve due to a knee issue and only notched three rushing attempts for eight yards during the five regular-season games he was healthy. He'll spend the offseason working to earn a passing-down role behind top rushers Chris Carson and Rashaad Penny.
The Seahawks tendered Fant a contract for 2019 at the second-round level, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
The Seahawks would receive a second-round pick in the event Fant receives an offer sheet the team doesn't want to match, essentially ensuring that the 26-year-old will stick with Seattle for another year. Fant is expected to provide depth along the offensive line and will see usage as an extra blocker in heavy packages.

Seahawks' Mychal Kendricks: Re-ups with Seattle

Kendricks (lower leg) signed a one-year, $4 million contract with the Seahawks on Wednesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Kendricks pleaded guilty to insider trading and is scheduled to be sentenced April 4, so his future with the Seahawks remains unclear despite re-signing with the team. The 28-year-old is expected to slot into a starting role if he's able to suit up in 2019 and could replace K.J. Wright at weak-side linebacker in the event Wright ultimately leaves in free agency.
