Bob Condotta: Who is the next Seahawks great to make the Hall of Fame?

On Saturday, Kenny Easley will become the fourth player who spent his entire career with the Seahawks to be enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Easley played for the Seahawks from 1981-87 earning a rep as one of the best safeties in the game's history and was elected in February after being nominated by the Seniors Committee.

The three other Hall of Famers who spent their entire careers with the Seahawks are receiver Steve Largent, left tackle Walter Jones and defensive tackle Cortez Kennedy.

Five other players who spent at least a part of one season with the Seahawks are also in the Hall _ defensive end Carl Eller, running back Franco Harris, quarterback Warren Moon, defensive tackle John Randle and receiver Jerry Rice.

Easley's pending enshrinement got us to thinking who might be the next player into the Hall who played at least some time with the Seahawks, as well as assessing the chances of those who are still with the team (and it's worth remembering that unlike in baseball, there is no specific team designation for football players as they enter the Hall, with their busts listing every team they played for).

Let's divide the candidates by eras of Seahawks football.
