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

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 […]

Seahawks News 5/20: Jaxon Smith-Njigba and the disrespect

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 […]

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 […]
