Impending free agent LT Russell Okung will undergo surgery to repair his dislocated shoulder and will be sidelined five months.

Okung battled a shoulder issue most of the year and ended up dislocating it in the Divisional Round against the Panthers. The former No. 6 overall pick has never played a full 16-game season and will turn 28 next season. He's representing himself on the open market. The Seattle Times' Bob Condotta doesn't expect Seattle to re-sign Okung. His market will be very interesting.

I'd rather take guys without major question marks, and perhaps with less upside (so they can be afforded) and with higher floors. Maybe older guys or guys that have a history with this coaching staff.

I'd like to see this line become competent immediately, and then start acquiring young player who provide serious upside and get this unit performing at a premier level.
