4. Seattle Seahawks

The Seahawks appear to be rebuilding, but they can flip that switch at any moment. Russell Wilson remains one of the top five quarterbacks in the league, and adding Beckham to a team that already has Doug Baldwin and Tyler Lockett would be a nightmare for opposing defenses.

Seattle has already shed a ton of cap with the trade of Michael Bennett, the release of Richard Sherman and the departures of Jimmy Graham, Sheldon Richardson and others. While the Seahawks aren’t likely to make much noise in the improving NFC West this year, they are well-positioned to make a quick turnaround, and could entice Beckham to buying in long-term.

Ultimately, this is going to come down to money, and Seattle stands to be competitive in that arena. The Seahawks are fairly strapped for 2018 with only $14.75 million available, but that number jumps to $79.98 million in space, the fifth-most in the league.

Seattle can more than afford to bring in Beckham, giving one of the best deep-ball quarterbacks an elite deep target to work with. The only fly in this ointment is the Seahawks’ lack of draft picks at the moment. They would have to get creative.
