How much it cost the Seahawks to sign veteran pass rusher Dante Fowler Jr

At long last, we finally have the main details on the Seattle Seahawks’ newest edge rusher. Former first-round pick Dante Fowler Jr agreed to a one-year contract with Seattle earlier in this month, an expected move following an NFL Draft in which the Seahawks did not select any pass rushing specialists. Initial reports had Fowler’s […]

Seahawks trade for New York Jets special teams gunner Irv Charles

The Seattle Seahawks have livened up the quietest part of the NFL offseason with a trade centered around special teams. The Athletic’s Zack Rosenblatt reported on Wednesday that the Seahawks have given up a conditional seventh-round pick for New York Jets wide receiver Irvin Charles. ESPN’s Rich Cimini reports that the conditional seventh-rounder is a […]

Former Seahawks draft pick signs record-setting CFL contract

Next week marks the start of the Canadian Football League regular season, and one of the league’s star players just got himself (by CFL standards) one of the biggest deals in league history. Hamilton Tiger-Cats wide receiver Kenny Lawler, a seventh-round pick by the Seattle Seahawks back in the 2016 NFL Draft, just agreed to […]

No joint practice for Seahawks at VMAC this year, says Mike Macdonald

The Seattle Seahawks went over three decades without doing joint practices during training camp. When Mike Macdonald arrived, Seattle changed course and had scrimmages ahead of road preseason games against the Tennessee Titans (2024) and Green Bay Packers (2025). What’s in store for 2026? Well, the Seahawks themselves haven’t served as joint practice hosts since […]

Mike Macdonald starts Seahawks OTAs with ‘good news’ on Tory Horton

The Seattle Seahawks began their voluntary organized team activities (OTAs) on Tuesday. Head coach Mike Macdonald spoke to media following practice, providing an encouraging injury update on Seattle’s promising wide receiver, Tory Horton. “Tory has made a lot of great strides,“ Coach Macdonald said. “Seems like we got some feedback that can really accelerate his […]

An early look at the 2027 Seahawks free agent class

The Seattle Seahawks had such a straightforward free agency period coming out of their Super Bowl winning season. Every free agent was accounted for well before the NFL Draft, and while there were some notable departures like Kenneth Walker III, Coby Bryant, Riq Woolen, and Boye Mafe, Seattle re-signed the majority of its players. We’re […]

Seahawks News 5/26: It’s Tuesday and the Seahawks are still champs

In Today’s Links: a couple looks at the Seattle Seahawks’ roster, now and in the future; the possibility that our squad aquires Myles Garrett (do you even want to do this trade?); also, let’s keep Olu. The rumors are the story and training camp starts soon. Just a few more days and the ball will […]

Devon Witherspoon, Seahawks ‘do not yet appear to be close to an agreement’

The Seattle Seahawks wasted little time getting a contract extension done with Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who’s now the NFL’s highest paid receiver. It’s a slightly different (but, for now, not particularly concerning) story for All-Pro cornerback and fellow 2023 first-round pick, Devon Witherspoon. ESPN’s Brady Henderson shared his latest Seahawks notebook over the weekend, with Witherspoon’s […]

Which Seahawks are under the most pressure entering 2026?

Fresh off of a Super Bowl, it may seem silly to think that anyone on the Seattle Seahawks roster is under pressure. However, the opposite may be true. The Seahawks or no longer the hunter; they are now “the hunted.” Each team will be looking at Seattle as the measuring stick for where they all […]

Seattle Seahawks 53-man roster projection: Pre-OTAs edition

The Seattle Seahawks begin their voluntary Organized Team Activities (OTAs) next Tuesday, bringing us another step closer to a new NFL season. With Seattle retaining so many players from its Super Bowl championship season, then adding more talent through the draft, this is going to be an extraordinarily difficult process to get from 90 to […]

Why the Seahawks made Aidan Hubbard their priority UDFA signing

One of the biggest questions surrounding the Seattle Seahawks draft entering the weekend was whether the team would add an EDGE defender — or at least when they would finally address the position. Seattle brought several edge rushers in for top-30 visits, but even after turning four picks into eight through trade-downs, Seattle never selected […]

Seahawks’ Sam Darnold: ‘I totally understand’ why Vikings didn’t keep me

Last offseason, the Minnesota Vikings were faced with a conundrum. With their first-round pick quarterback, JJ McCarthy, fully healed, they had to choose between sitting their future and rocking with journeyman Sam Darnold or betting it all on the sophomore’s shoulders. Everyone reading this knows they put all their chips in the McCarthy basket and […]

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 […]

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 […]

Seahawks News 5/21: Several DB positions for Seahawks up for grabs
