The Seahawks didn’t draft one type of player in 2026, and that’s the point
For years, the Seattle Seahawks built a clear draft identity around experience. Seattle consistently leaned toward seniors, team captains, older prospects, and players with massive collegiate résumés. The franchise historically valued maturity, durability, leadership, and prospects who had already accumulated years of starting reps before entering the NFL. That has been changing for a few […]

In Today’s Links: the Derick Hall contract situation, a quick look into the future regarding the 53-man roster, Brian Fleury’s new offense, and a smidge more.

Los Angeles Rams commit to Matthew Stafford beyond 2026
If you thought that the Los Angeles Rams drafting quarterback Ty Simpson in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft was a sign that Matthew Stafford’s career was quickly coming to an end, I have some bad news for you… Looks like there will be two more seasons of Stafford vs Seattle. I think […]
Can the Seattle Seahawks build the NFL’s next dynasty?
The Seattle Seahawks enter the 2026 NFL season as Super Bowl champions, albeit not necessarily favorites to repeat like we saw with their 2013 predecessors. When the Legion of Boom era Seahawks smashed up the Denver Broncos, it looked like the pieces were in place to beat the NFL’s next dynasty. It didn’t quite happen […]
Former Seahawks player and Huskies alum to oversee USA flag football for 2028 Olympics
In just two years, flag football (men’s and women’s) will make its way into the Summer Olympics for the first time. The man hired by USA Football to oversee operations will be familiar to at least Pacific Northwest football fans. Marcel Reece, the former Washington Huskies wide receiver turned All-Pro fullback, will have a big […]
Michael Dansby was invisible in the NFL Draft process. The Seahawks didn’t care
When the Seattle Seahawks announced Michael Dansby with the 255th pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, the initial reaction around the league was closer to confusion than excitement — even accounting for the fact that he was one of the final selections in the class. Not simply because he was largely absent from national draft […]
Seahawks News 5/21: Several DB positions for Seahawks up for grabs
In Today’s Links: Seaside Joe takes a look at the monolith that is becoming Bryon Murphy, a bit on the sale of our beloved Seattle Seahawks, a look down the road at our squad’s 2026 draft class, and a dash more. Happy Thursday. Go, ‘Hawks! #np Better Git It In Your Soul by Charles Mingus […]
Seahawks assistant GM Nolan Teasley gets second interview for Vikings job
The Minnesota Vikings’ search for their next general manager rolls along… and has lingered a bit in the Pacific Northwest. After firing Kwesi Adofo-Mensah at the end of January, the team in the Twin Cities is still looking for the head man for the big front office role. Adofo-Mensah was released by the team, speculatively, […]
Seahawks, Cowboys could hold joint practice at VMAC
One significant change in the Seattle Seahawks’ training camps under Mike Macdonald has been the re-introduction of joint practices, which the team hadn’t done since the early 1990s. In 2024, the Seahawks held two scrimmages with the Tennessee Titans before their preseason game in Nashville, and last year they had a single joint practice with […]

The traits that made Andre Fuller a classic late-round Seahawks draft bet
Andre Fuller immediately joins the long lineage of lengthy developmental cornerbacks the Seattle Seahawks have historically targeted, particularly when betting on traits over polish. Fuller may not have entered the process with the same level of buzz as higher-profile prospects, but the physical profile, the aggressive play style, and the comfort level in press coverage […]
As Seahawks avoid overseas game again, NFL expands international games to 11 in 2027
The Seattle Seahawks won’t be heading overseas for a game in 2026, but their odds to do so in 2027 just increased. The league’s owners approved a proposal on Tuesday to increase the maximum international games from eight to 10, not including the annual Jacksonville Jaguars game at Wembley Stadium. The decision follows a record […]
NFL apologizes to Jaxon Smith-Njigba for ‘Offensive Player of the Year’ trophy gaffe
There will be a new plaque delivered to Seattle Seahawks superstar and Offensive Player of the Year winner Jaxon Smith-Njigba. As shared on Monday, JSN’s NFL Honors award for OPOY had a bit of a problem. It looks like he’s won Defensive Player of the Year, which would’ve been amazing in an alternate universe. The […]

Reviewing Beau Stephens and his fit with the Seattle Seahawks
Running the football is etched into the culture of the Seattle Seahawks. Whether its Curt Warner, Shaun Alexander, Ricky Watters, Marshawn Lynch, or recent Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III, the Seahawks have had their offense go through the run game. With that comes the need for offensive lineman who create holes for the running […]
Jaxon Smith-Njigba shows off his ‘Defensive Player of the Year’ award… wait, what?!
Seattle Seahawks superstar wide receiver and Super Bowl champion Jaxon Smith-Njigba was the first Seahawks player to win Offensive Player of the Year since Shaun Alexander’s legendary 2005 season… …Or so we thought. JSN shared on his Instagram Stories (which we’ve screenshotted since it will disappear soon) the official NFL Honors trophy he received. Name […]
Longtime Pete Carroll assistant lands advisor role with Carolina Panthers
The Carolina Panthers have a thing for former Seattle Seahawks. Their head coach, Dave Canales, was a longtime assistant under Pete Carroll. General manager Dan Morgan might have been a former linebacker for Carolina, but he also worked a whopping eight seasons in various scouting and front office roles for Seattle. There are several former […]
Seahawks 2026 rookie predictions: Will Bud Clark fill Coby Bryant’s role?
Just like their first-round selection, the Seattle Seahawks used their native pick in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft, selecting TCU safety Bud Clark at No. 64. Clark brings Energizer Bunny-like attitude and a penchant for grabbing interceptions to an already stacked Seahawks secondary. Athletic Profile/Comps Relative Athletic Score (RAS) Mockdraftable Much like […]
Deven Eastern gives Seahawks exactly what Mike Macdonald wants up front
By the time the Seattle Seahawks reached Day 3 of the NFL Draft, the mission was no longer about finding a savior for the defensive line. Mike Macdonald and John Schneider had already handled the heavy lifting earlier in the offseason. Leonard Williams remains the physical centerpiece of the front, Byron Murphy II represents the […]

Seahawks roster battles: How will Seattle’s secondary shape up in training camp?
The Seattle Seahawks are entering one of the most fascinating seasons this franchise has seen in years. Coming off a championship season, expectations are obviously sky high, but what makes this offseason so interesting is that Seattle didn’t approach it like a team trying to completely reinvent itself. Instead, this organization doubled down on continuity, […]
Former Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny feels like he let Seattle down due to injuries
From the moment his name was announced at the 2018 NFL Draft, Rashaad Penny became a dividing line among fans of the Seattle Seahawks. That remained the case for five seasons as the Seahawks battled to stay relevant in an ever-changing NFC West; the uber-talented Penny battled to stay on the field. After playing 42 […]

Emmanuel Henderson Jr. could become the Seahawks’ next special teams standout
Few prospects in the 2026 class embody the idea of a true late-round upside swing quite like Seattle Seahawks sixth-round pick Emmanuel Henderson Jr. A former five-star running back recruit, elite multi-sport athlete, and one of the fastest players in the entire draft cycle, Henderson enters the NFL as a developmental offensive weapon whose clearest […]
