Seahawks HC Mike Macdonald focused on team amid Rams' roster changes
Summary

As the Seattle Seahawks prepare for the new NFL season, head coach Mike Macdonald emphasizes focusing on his own team rather than the roster changes of division rivals like the Rams, who added Trent McDuffie and Myles Garrett. Macdonald remarked that worrying about others is 'mentally taxing' and insisted on prioritizing the Seahawks' development. The Seahawks, coming off a Super Bowl victory, also made strategic additions and re-signed key players this offseason. Their preseason includes a matchup against the 49ers in Week 5, allowing time to strategize for a later clash with the Rams.
