Seahawks’ Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Devon Witherspoon fifth-year option salaries revealed
The Seattle Seahawks have not one, but two outstanding first-round picks from their 2023 draft class with looming contract extension talks coming. Devon Witherspoon has been a dynamite cornerback in both Pete Carroll and Mike Macdonald’s defenses, while wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba has consecutive 100-catch seasons to his name, along with an Offensive Player of […]
Seattle Seahawks fan discussion: Where in the world are our Field Gulls readers?
It’s that time of year again, Seattle Seahawks fans! Last week, we asked Field Gulls readers where they watched the Seahawks win Super Bowl 60. Every continent (including Antarctica!) was represented, which is absolutely amazing. Not everyone watched from where they live, which means the geography of this week’s census is going to be a […]
How high the NFL salary cap is going in 2026
The Winter Olympics in Italy have come to a close, but the underwear Olympics are underway in Indianapolis, where NFL teams are digging through measurements and reviewing player interviews in order to build out their draft board ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft. Before the draft arrives, however, free agency will see dozens of notable […]

It’s time for the most entertaining part of the NFL Scouting Combine! It’s day two of four days worth of on-field drills for over 300 college football prospects with dreams of playing in the NFL.

The hidden impact of Cooper Kupp and how it fits with new Seahawks OC Brian Fleury
Cooper Kupp made his dramatic exit from the Los Angeles Rams last offseason and made his way to the division rival (and home state) Seattle Seahawks to prove something. He was not finished. Kupp was out to prove that he could still be a contributing piece to a championship contender. The man they call ‘Coooooop’ […]

Seahawks fall just short of acing NFLPA report card, with one surprising ‘F’
On the Seattle Seahawks’ run to winning the Super Bowl, positive vibes were not hard to find, a feeling that seems to have extended to their report card from the NFL Players Association. The report card, generated from surveys filled out by players on each team and released by ESPN on Thursday, gave the Seahawks […]

Mike Macdonald provides update on Seahawks WR Tory Horton’s injury timetable
Seattle Seahawks rookie receiver and returner Tory Horton only played half the season yet finished fourth in the regular season for total touchdowns. Unfortunately, a shin injury following a two-touchdown performance against the Washington Commanders proved unrecoverable for the remainder of the year. Speaking with media at the NFL Scouting Combine on Wednesday, Seahawks head […]
How the last two Seattle Seahawks offseasons show the hidden costs of 1-year contracts
Back in December, Field Gulls took a look at how the Seattle Seahawks and general manager John Schneider changed the core approach of the team in free agency, specifically signing a trio of outside free agents to multi-year deals while adding Sam Darnold, Cooper Kupp and DeMarcus Lawrence. The signings marked a departure from statements […]

‘Very real question’ whether Seahawks DeMarcus Lawrence will retire
In the second year of the Mike Macdonald era, the Seattle Seahawks set out to reclaim control of the NFC West in 2025, and did so in a remarkable way. The Seahawks not only won the division for just the second time since Sean McVay and Kyle Shanahan were hired in 2017, they went on […]
Seahawks address cornerback room in Mel Kiper’s pre-combine NFL mock draft
If you’re ready for mock draft season, then this is the right time to familiarize yourself with top NFL prospects. The Seattle Seahawks are Super Bowl champions and only have four draft picks, so there probably won’t be as much intrigue around their draft outside of how they can maximize limited draft capital. Nevertheless, ESPN […]
How did you become a Seahawks fan?
I know we have the NFL Scouting Combine going on on Indianapolis this week, but with the lack of draft picks and the high fans are still riding from the Seattle Seahawks’ Super Bowl success, I’m not really in NFL Draft mood just yet. While I’m certain we’ve done this topic before, enough time has […]
Josh Jobe: Unsung Seahawks Super Bowl hero and pending free agent
Josh Jobe may be one of the more understated members of Mike Macdonald’s Dark Side defense. He and Drake Thomas don’t do a buttload of interviews or talking, but they are both dudes who quietly get the job done and hustle to the ball on all occasions. Jobe is a guy that competed, wire to […]

NFL cites two no-calls on Seahawks for potential major replay rule change
In an alternate reality, the Seattle Seahawks would have had to finish Super Bowl 60 without cornerback Josh Jobe. New momentum from the NFL office has the league considering bringing more authority to replay review again. This time, it wouldn’t be to evaluate pass interference, but to create a penalty for a non-football penalty-worthy play […]
NFL 2026 Scouting Combine: Schedule, key dates, start times, invitees, Seahawks info
It’s that time of year! The 2026 NFL Scouting Combine takes place at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana. Also known as the ‘Underwear Olympics,‘ the combine is like the ultimate job market for the top prospects from not just college football, but the rising number of international players. As always, draft stock will be reaffirmed, rise, […]
What the Seahawks’ Super Bowl 60 win means to me
A lot can change in 12 years. As we know, “12” is a very significant number for the Seattle Seahawks and its fanbase, the “12s.” Quite fitting that the Seahawks won their second Super Bowl in franchise history after a 12-year wait. This one had a different feeling for me than the first for many […]
Seahawks hire Brian Fleury as offensive coordinator: Reasons for optimism — and concern
The Seattle Seahawks won the Super Bowl playing high-level football on both sides of the ball. Sustaining that standard, however, requires difficult decisions — and few are more important than replacing Klint Kubiak at offensive coordinator. In this piece, we’ll lay out both sides of the argument: why there are reasons to believe in Brian […]

Expect the Seahawks’ ‘Barnyard’ to stick around as NFL push to ban ‘tush push’ cools
Seattle Seahawks fans can rejoice in knowing that ‘The Barnyard’ is likely to remain in the fold going forward. According to ESPN’s Mike Reiss and Kevin Seifert, there are currently no known plans to ban the tush push for the 2026 season. Rich McKay, co-chairman for the NFL’s competition committee, says that conversations to eliminate […]
Seahawks offseason plans include new deals for Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Devon Witherspoon
When the Seattle Seahawks drafted Devon Witherspoon and Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft, it marked the first time since 2010 that Seattle had made multiple first-round selections. So far, so good, and the Seahawks have themselves a pair of All-Pro talents and the reigning Offensive Player of the Year. […]
Seattle Seahawks discussion: Have you ever met a Seahawks player or coach in real life?
We’re more than two weeks beyond the Super Bowl, which I must emphasize was won by the Seattle Seahawks, but not quite to the start of the new league year so it’s a somewhat quiet time in the NFL. This is probably the only real lull until that period after the schedule release and before […]
