Ever since the Seattle Seahawks hired John Schneider as their General Manager and Pete Carroll as the Head Coach/Executive Vice President, their franchise has been built through the draft.

It’s a tactic that helped bring the organization its first Lombardi Trophy and two NFC Championships. However, that could change this offseason.

According to cbssports.com, defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh has interest in taking his talents to the Pacific Northwest and playing for the Seahawks.

While on paper this may seem like a great move for the Seahawks, in reality, it is a move Schneider and Carroll should not consider.

Though Suh is an All-Pro defensive lineman and would be a huge addition to one of the best defenses in the league, there would be consequences the franchise would face.

First would be the payroll situation. Since the Seahawks have reached the Super Bowl the past two seasons, their cap space is very limited. According to cbssports.com, the Seahawks have approximately $23 million in cap room, which is enough to sign Suh to a deal. That would be the only big move the franchise could make this offseason.

Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, middle linebacker Bobby Wagner and running back Marshawn Lynch are all in need of new contracts as well. These three players must be re-signed if the Seahawks want to maintain their dominance.

The Seahawks would either have to make other cuts in the organization to free up cap space for Suh or the defensive lineman would need to take a huge pay cut.

Suh is also on thin ice with the NFL after being fined by the league seven times for player-safety violations. Some of those violations include stomping on Green Bay Packers offensive lineman Evan Dietrich-Smith and kicking Houston Texans quarterback Matt Schuab in the groin. The defensive lineman has lost $420,669 for his nine fines, and served a two-game, unpaid suspension during his time with the Detroit Lions.

If Suh continues his behavior on the field, the penalties will get worse and could not only hurt him but the organization he signs with. The last thing the Seahawks need is another distraction.

Acquiring and signing Percy Harvin to a $67 million contract in 2013 ended up backfiring on Seahawks. Once Harvin was let go by the Seahawks in October, the Seahawks ended up winning nine of their next 11 games.

Seahawks defensive tackle Brandon Mebane will also return to the team in 2015 after he missed most of last season with a torn hamstring. Mebane recorded 45 total tackles for the Seahawks in 2013 and helped the organization achieve its first Super Bowl. Last season, Suh recorded 44 total tackles.

If the Seahawks want to add to their defensive line, they should do it through the draft instead of free agency. Carroll and Schneider have history of acquiring major contributors in the draft, which makes that the favorable option.
