Wilson: Seahawks a couple pieces away from title contention

Russell Wilson hopes to witness a more active offseason from the Seattle Seahawks in 2020 than he has in recent years.

"I think we need a couple more (players)," the quarterback said before the Pro Bowl, according to Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times. "I think we need a couple more. Jadeveon (Clowney) is a big-time guy that we would love to get back on our football team. He was so good in the locker room. He brought so many just havoc plays to the field. Hopefully, we can get a few other players there on the defense.

"Then also on offense, we have a great offense, but I think we can always add more pieces. I think that's going to be the part that's going to be great with (general manager) John Schneider and (head coach) Pete (Carroll), as well, in terms of this offseason's free agency. Free agency is very, very key to getting those superstars on your team and try to get great players that can fill the space."

The Seahawks have been relatively quiet in free agency lately, often because of salary cap constraints. Aside from the Clowney trade, most of their notable offseason transactions in recent memory have included cutting ties with veterans who helped them reach back-to-back Super Bowls in 2014 and 2015.

Seattle is projected to have $59.4 million in cap room entering the offseason, the eighth-highest total in the NFL, according to OverTheCap. Clowney represents the team's highest-profile free agent.

Once an NFC powerhouse, the Seahawks haven't advanced past the divisional round since the aforementioned Super Bowl appearances.

Wilson is coming off another stellar season, throwing for 4,110 yards with 31 touchdowns and five interceptions across 16 starts.
