After what felt like the longest offseason in years, the Seattle Seahawks are set to launch the first Mike Macdonald-led season Sunday at Lumen Field in Seattle against the Denver Broncos.

Wilson has moved on, and now Bo Nix is in place as the presumptive...

Now that the Seattle Seahawks know they'll be without star OLB Uchenna Nwosu for a matter of weeks, they can adjust their roster accordingly before the official cutdown to 53 players by Tuesday's deadline.

What's still unknown is whether Nwosu will need to be placed on IR, which would require him to miss at least 4 games. I'll react to this news, as well as a couple new lists from ESPN...

One day after acquiring Michael Barrett from the Carolina Panthers, the Seattle Seahawks made another roster decision on defense this morning, sending OLB Darrell Taylor to the Chicago Bears for a 2025 6th round pick.
