The Seattle Seahawks' offseason has been characterized by a focus on retaining key players rather than acquiring new talent. The franchise saw notable departures, including Kenneth Walker, Coby Bryant, Boye Mafe, and Riq Woolen. However, general manager John Schneider re-signed Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Derick Hall, Charles Cross, Rashid Shaheed, and Josh Jobe. The team also drafted running back Jadarian Price at No. 32 overall. ESPN’s Ben Solak graded the Seahawks' offseason as a B-, suggesting the team maintained its core but did not make significant improvements. As they prepare for the upcoming season, the development of players on the depth chart will be critical for head coach Mike Macdonald's plans.
