Van Lanen is a restricted free agent and got an original round tender from the Jaguars for $3.26 million. Restricted free agents can negotiate with teams until April 21, and the Seahawks are a team in need of offensive line help. Van Lanen appeared in nine games for the Jaguars last season, starting three. He primarily plays tackle but has taken snaps at guard as well. The Seahawks are gauging offensive line options late in free agency and exploring signing Van Lanen, though he is tied to the Jaguars through restricted free agency.

Jacksonville released veteran G Wes Martin in a corresponding move. Van Lanen, a Green Bay native, will head to Jacksonville after playing one year with the Packers. He was a sixth-round pick who appeared in one game during the 2021 regular season.. 

The Packers took a flyer on Van Lanen in the sixth round of the 2021 NFL Draft. NFL.com's Lance Zierlein described him as having a "debilitating length and a lack of athleticism in pass protection." He could be stashed on the Packers' practice squad as a developmental player. The Packers also waived/released QB Kurt Benkert, RB Dexter Williams, RB Patrick Taylor, WR Equanimeous St. Brown, WR Juwann Winfree, WR Reggie Begelton, WR Damon Hazelton, TE Bronson Kaufusi, OG Ben Braden, OG Jacob Capra, OG Coy Cronk, DL Carlo Kemp, DL Willington Previlon, DL Abdullah Anderson, LB Ray Wilborn, LB Tipa Galeai, LB De’Jon Harris, LB Delontae Scott, CB Stephen Denmark, CB Kabion Ento, CB Rojesterman Farris, S Innis Gaines, S Christian Uphoff, P JK Scott, and K JJ Molson.
