Along the offensive line, the Seahawks have already lost George Fant in free agency to the New York Jets. Besides Fant, Seattle is in jeopardy of losing Germain Ifedi, Mike Iupati, and Jordan Simmons on the offensive line.
On the other hand, the Seahawks have already begun trying to bulk up their offensive front in free agency. Before signing Warmack, Seattle already agreed to terms with B.J. Finney, Brandon Shell, and Cedric Ogbuehi in free agency.

For Warmack, there's a decent chance that the Seahawks added the Alabama product to provide some depth in the interior offensive line. Warmack began his career in 2013 as a first-round pick of the Tennessee Titans.
However, after three seasons of starting for the Titans, he suffered a hand injury in 2016 that sidelined him for 14 games. But following a four-year stint with Tennessee, Warmack found himself joining the Philadelphia Eagles in 2017.
With the Eagles, Warmack rarely saw the field, starting in just three games. Then, Warmack chose to sit out the entire 2019 season in hopes to get back to being healthy enough to play.
The Seahawks under Pete Carroll prefer to orchestrate an offense that is predicated on running the ball, making Warmack a valuable asset. If there's any chance that Warmack can return to being the player he was at the beginning of his career, Seattle might have found a steal in free agency.
