Seahawks prepare for 2026 season with new offensive coordinator challenges

Summary

The Seattle Seahawks face significant concerns heading into the 2026 NFL season, particularly regarding their offense under new offensive coordinator Brian Fleury. As quarterback Sam Darnold leads a talented receiving corps, questions arise about the team's transition to Fleury's play-calling and how it may impact their offensive performance. Last season, Seattle's run-heavy scheme yielded strong results, with running backs Kenneth Walker III and Zach Charbonnet generating substantial yardage. There are also questions regarding the target distribution for Jaxon Smith-Njigba and the role of rookie RB Jadarian Price. Seattle’s defense is expected to maintain its strength with Trevon Diggs joining the secondary.
