Field Gulls

Photo by Lindsey Wasson/ We suspect we know which answer will garner the highest vote. Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Seattle Seahawks fans and fans across the country.Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. Offseason edition of Seahawks Reacts continues on! It’s another short survey with only two questions to answer. The first is whether or not you believe the Seahawks will improve upon last season’s 9-8 mark. Voting “better” can still mean winning 9...

Photo by Abbie Parr/ Read! Health remains the paramount factor in determining how deep into the playoffs our Seattle Seahawks may find themselves this season. Veterans returning from injuries, older players with leadership qualities, and young upstarts at key positions will all need to make a positive impact on the field for the Seahawks to make the playoffs, and hopefully win a game or two. If the ‘Hawks stay relatively healthy, if Jamal Adams joins a confident team on the rise, there is really no telling the level of success our squad may reach. Seahawks...

Photo by Michael Wade/Icon Sportswire via No second-round pick has ever had NFL contractual terms like Hall’s. The Seattle Seahawks kicked off their three-day mandatory minicamp on Tuesday, but there was a significant news item pertaining to one of their 2023 draft picks. Former Auburn pass-rushing specialist Derick Hall has signed his rookie contract, which is pretty much a formality in this era of the NFL, but what makes Hall different is the structure of his deal as a second-round pick. NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported that “Hall’s contract will pay 85%...

Kyle Terada-USA TODAY Sports Johnson went from waived at final roster cuts to starting to injured reserve in a matter of weeks. As the Seattle Seahawks work their way through the offseason, several members of the 2022 roster remain unsigned. The most notable of the unsigned is likely defensive tackle Shelby Harris, who was acquired from the Denver Broncos in the Russell Wilson trade. However, he is not the only member of the defensive front that remains unsigned, though on Tuesday that group got a little small as the San Francisco 49ers have reportedly agreed to terms...

Photo by Joseph Patronite/ Get in your time machine because it’s about to be a vintage afternoon for Seahawks football! The waiting is over, nostalgic Seattle Seahawks fans! After the NFL finally eased its helmet rule, the Seahawks’ vintage uniforms will soon be worn once again. Seattle’s Oct. 29 home game against the Cleveland Browns will be a throwback to the 1990s! Witness the return of 1990s-era throwback uniforms as they make their debut in 2023. Seahawks throwback jerseys and retail launch plans will be revealed later this summer. Ever since moving to the...

Photo by Jason Hanna/ There are plenty of former Pro Bowlers who are still looking for a new team. We’re just over a month away from the start of training camp and there are more than a few familiar faces who don’t have a team at the moment. ESPN’s Matt Bowen compiled a list of the top-11 free agents, and two of them are ex-Seattle Seahawks. In fact, one of them was essentially a direct replacement for the other, so I think you know exactly who I’m talking about. From beyond the paywall, here’s Bowen’s write-up on No. 3 ranked Jadeveon Clowney. 2022 team:...

Photo by Jonathan Bachman/ An overview of Seattle’s (first) fourth-round pick along with my predictions for his rookie season. After fleecing the Denver Broncos trading out of the third round with the Denver Broncos to recoup a 2024 third-round draft pick and the No. 108 overall pick in the fourth round, the Seahawks spent that newly acquired selection on OG Anthony Bradford from LSU. Offensive linemen may not always be the sexiest picks, but Bradford brings elite athleticism to the table and will have a chance to battle his way into a starting job with Seattle....

Photo by Steph Chambers/ Read! Last season’s roster saw our Seattle Seahawks run rare formations more often than most in the league. Presumably, the ‘Hawks will try and get as many of their weapons on the field as possible. With that in mind, that means the ‘Hawks will be once again running an inordinate number of plays in odd formations; and standard formations more often, no doubt! What would you like to see from the offense next season? How often do you want the TEs on the field, as opposed to last season’s usage? How often do you want to see us in a 3WR...

Katie Stratman-USA TODAY Sports The deadest part of the NFL news cycle is right around the corner once organized team activities have finished across the league for the offseason. However, during the next couple of weeks there may be something actually resembling news for fans, and on Monday for the Seattle Seahawks that means more shuffling of the roster. Specifically, the Hawks made official a move that had been reported last week, announcing the waiving of NT Forrest Merrill, while bringing back a player they had already signed and then waived during May. The...

Photo by Abbie Parr/ It’s expected that the Seahawks and Blazers will eventually be sold, just not right now. The latest update on the future of the Seattle Seahawks is that there really is no update. Rachel Bachman of The Wall Street Journal did a long (paywalled) feature on the NBA’s Portland Trail Blazers and the (so far) failed attempts by Nike founder Phil Knight to purchase the team. While the focus was pretty much entirely on the Blazers, the Paul G. Allen Trust also obviously owns the Seahawks, and Jody Allen has been the de facto owner since her...

Photo by Michael Zagaris/San Francisco 49ers/ I mean, it’s only one game worse than last season. It’s the deadest, least interesting part of the NFL offseason, which makes it the perfect time to do stuff like a game-by-game prediction of the entire regular season. This is what NFL Network’s Adam Rank did a few days ago, and I will get straight to the point and reveal his breakdown of the Seattle Seahawks’ 2023 schedule. Week 1: W vs. Los Angeles Rams Week 2: L at Detroit Lions Week 3: L vs. Carolina Panthers Week 4: W at New York Giants Week 6: L at Cincinnati...

Photo by Thearon W. Henderson/ Might the Seahawks have found themselves a UDFA gem? The Seattle Seahawks wide receiver depth chart looks pretty settled at the top. It features this 20th overall pick Jaxon Smith-Njigba, former Pro Bowler DK Metcalf and steady vet Tyler Lockett. After those three though, it’s pretty open as every other remaining receiver on the depth chart combined for 11 NFL catches at the NFL level last season. Due to the uncertainty at the position there’s multiple spots that are ripe for the picking for anyone including UDFA’s, like Jake Bobo....

Jerome Miron-USA TODAY Sports The incredibly powerful guard could be an impact player quickly. Stop number two on our offseason journey through Seahawks Superlatives gives us Rookie of the Year. I’ve selected the player I believe has the greatest chance at playing the most snaps and contributing consistent value through them. And that’s offensive guard Anthony Bradford. The hype here will be for Jaxon Smith-Njigba, but a couple of things tip the scale towards Bradford. First, though Smith-Njigba could basically limp onto the field and still be the clear leader for...

Photo by RJ Sangosti/MediaNews Group/The Denver Post via Read! Our Seattle Seahawks did something a little out of character this offseason: they went after the top-tier free agents. In doing so, the ‘Hawks ended up signing one of the bigger names on the open market in Dre’Mont Jones. His time in Denver came to an awkward ending, hoping to find something new. The season fast approaches and Jones & our Seahawks most likely excitedly prepare to reek havoc on the NFL.

Photo by Steph Chambers/ A look at the Seahawks roster as mandatory minicamp begins this week. We’re inside of 100 days until the Seattle Seahawks begin their 2023 regular season campaign, but in the meantime they’re in the middle of their offseason workout program. This week commences mandatory minicamp, which for the Seahawks runs from June 6-8. With all of that in mind let’s reset and take stock of the 89 players on the maximum 90-man roster. Seattle just released defensive tackle Forrest Morrill on Friday, so there’s a vacant spot and we should expect that...
