Slowly beginning to rebuild the Seattle Seahawks on defense this offseason, new coach Mike Macdonald won't have the benefit of bringing his two standout linebackers from Baltimore in Roquan Smith and Patrick Queen along for the ride. But while Macdonald won't have either All-Pro defender with him in the Pacific Northwest, general manager John Schneider did land an intriguing pair of linebackers in free agency, signing ex-Dolphins starter Jerome Baker and ex-Bills reserve Tyrel Dodson to one-year contracts. Replacing departed veterans Bobby Wagner and Jordyn Brooks, both players should be upgra ..read more

The Seattle Seahawks have been mild participants in free agency, with more of a focus on trying to retain their own instead of on big players. The Seahawks have seen several players leave, leaving their roster and offensive line in flux. Starters in Damien Lewis and Evan Brown have left, and that leaves two starting offensive line positions that have to be filled. Cleveland Browns guard Nick Harris is the only new lineman brought in at the time of writing, which still leaves the unit short on firepower and as such, NFL Network's Daniel Jeremiah has the Seahawks taking Washington standout Troy ..read more

Sam Howell is the newest member of the Seattle Seahawks after the Washington Commanders traded for him. With Washington looking like it was going to select a new franchise quarterback with the No. 2 overall pick, that meant Howell's time with the Commanders was likely over. This was due, in part, to Howell's lack of consistency in his first year as a starter, as a 4-13 record meant that perhaps he wasn't the player Washington thought. But it wasn't all Howell's fault. While he showed flashes of his talent, ultimately the organization clearly felt it had to go in a different direction. Seahawks ..read more

With the 2024 NFL Scouting Combine in the rearview mirror and free agency underway, the Seattle Seahawks and all 32 NFL teams are in the midst of scheduling and conducting their pre-draft top-30 visits. In this process, each NFL team can bring in up to 30 players to their respective facilities for interviews and meetings with coaches as well as medical examinations and physicals. While these on-site meetings are only part of the evaluation process leading up to the three-day event, they can play a critical role in determining where each player ends up on draft weekend and could be especially i ..read more

Shaking up their quarterback room after losing veteran backup Drew Lock in free agency, the Seattle Seahawks took a big swing for a potential future starter by acquiring Sam Howell in a draft pick swap from the Washington Commanders. As part of the package, Seattle dealt away one of its two third-round picks - No. 78 overall - and a fifth-round pick to Washington for Howell, a fourth-round pick, and a sixth-round pick. While general manager John Schneider still has seven draft choices at his disposal next month, only two of them now come in the first 100 picks after moving down 24 spots into ..read more

For the exception of a few small deals, the Seattle Seahawks have been relatively quiet once again in free agency, but not for a lack of trying. According to star edge rusher Bryce Huff, who left the New York Jets this offseason to sign a lucrative three-year deal with the Philadelphia Eagles, the Seahawks were one of several teams who showed interest in him. USA Today "The Jets, of course. The Giants were on the table. Commanders were on the table. Vikings, Seahawks. It was a good bit of teams," Huff said, per SI.com’s Eagles Today. Huff, who turns 26 next month, was originally an undra ..read more

Further fortifying their secondary, the Seattle Seahawks have landed another established veteran at safety for coach Mike Macdonald to deploy in his scheme. According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, fifth-year defensive back K'Von Wallace and the Seahawks have agreed to terms on a one-year contract. Length and financial details for the deal have yet to be disclosed. Capable of playing either safety position as well as big nickel in a pinch, K'Von Wallace should have an opportunity to carve out a situational role with the Seahawks. The 26-year old Wallace broke into the league as a fourth-roun ..read more
