Seahawks Reacts Survey results: Fans confident Seattle comes out on top over Bears
A new SB Nation Reacts poll shows 94% of fans expect the Seattle Seahawks to win Monday night’s primetime clash against the Chicago Bears, with most predicting a 9‑16 point margin.

DeForest Buckner joins growing list proving 49ers don’t burn bridges
The 49ers are building a reputation for keeping doors open to former players, as defensive tackle DeForest Buckner rejoins the team after stints with the Chicago Bears and a brief free‑agency saga. Buckner joins Dre Greenlaw, Deebo Samuel and (formerly) Kendrick Bourne as the fourth ex‑49er to return, underscoring a culture that values personalized support, modern resources and veteran leadership. While some departures—like Greenlaw’s short stint in Denver and Samuel’s trade to Washington—ended in frustration, the players’ returns suggest the organization offers a better fit than rival teams. The article argues that this trend bolsters locker‑room morale and offers a recruiting edge for rookies and free agents.
Luis Severino To Exercise Player Option, Remain With A’s
Luis Severino opts into his $22 million player option, keeping him with the Oakland Athletics through their final Sacramento season before he hits free agency in 2027‑28. The 33‑year‑old right‑hander logged a 4.16 ERA over 12 starts before a shoulder strain ended his 2025‑26 campaign. With a career‑low strikeout rate (19.4% vs. 24% this year) and mixed home/road splits—5.85 ERA at Sutter Health Park versus 3.14 on the road—Severino’s value sits at the contract’s guarantee rather than market price, especially amid a likely lockout. While Oakland may entertain a trade, the team is more likely to retain him as a veteran anchor for a young rotation headed into the offseason.
