not a signing, just a couple questions:
a) during exclusive FA 'courting' period, does Seattle have any exceptional privileges re RFAs?
b) In current calendar, when is QO deadline? saw somewhere it will be pre-Exp draft
thanks for any answers

UPDATE per comments in related LeBrun article in TheAthletic tbis week, Seattle can sign an unprotected RFA during courting period and as with UFA signed then, that player counts as exp.draft selection from that team. So i guess that means they can only sign one guy from any/each team prior to Exp draft

UPDATE 2 per same article, QO date comes after exp.draft
