Sea Hawkers Podcast: for Seattle Seahawks fans

Will the Seattle Seahawks look to add to their historic defense in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft? According to many of the draft experts, Clemson's Avieon Terrell appears to be a likely favorite. We discuss what is the appeal of the corner, but note some of the reasons why the fit may not be perfect. We look at other DB options like South Carolina's Brandon Cisse, Tennessee's Colton Hood, and Oregon safety Dillon Thieneman, while Clemson edge TJ Parker surfaces as a trench-minded alternative. Among the mock drafts we looked at, Notre Dame running back Jadarian Price was the lone offensive name tied to Seattle. The Seahawks may look to add to the running back room ahead of the draft, as Najee Harris has been making the rounds with several NFL teams. We also break down Jaxon Smith-Njigba's new contract structure and cap mechanics, discuss Jake Bobo's contract, and the implications of having multiple highly paid wide receivers. James Weiner, director of Super Bowl Champions: The 2025 Seattle Seahawks, joins the show to talk about the documentary that spans the entire championship season. The film is available to stream NOW on The Roku Channel.

The Seattle Seahawks reset the top end of the NFL wide receiver market by extending Jaxon Smith-Njigba on a four-year, $168.6 million deal, making him the highest-paid WR ever and effectively keeping him in Seattle for six more seasons. The contract structure is team-friendly early, with manageable cap hits now and a deal that could look like a bargain as the market rises. Seattle also matches Jacksonville's two-year, $5.5 million offer sheet for restricted free agent Jake Bobo, locking in a depth piece with incentives and guarantees. The contract reduces the cap hit for Bobo in 2026 and keeps him locked in for 2027. Is Devon Witherspoon the next guy to get a new deal and could an looming ownership change be propelling deals to get done sooner than later?

Draft season on the Sea Hawkers Podcast is kicking off with Coach DC (All 22 NFL Films) to showcase Draft Signal Pro, a collaborative draft preview site built for easy navigation, player profiles, and film links. What are the key needs and realistic targets around picks 32, 64, and 96? We start the discussion at cornerback before taking a look at edge defenders. As we shift to the offensive side of the ball, we start with running back considering Kenneth Walker's departure and Zach Charbonnet's injury. Can the Seahawks find another starter on the offensive line? We talk about some options at guard who could help Seattle improve both in the run and passing game. Support the show Get in the Flock!

The free agency frenzy continues, but the Seahawks are mostly sitting out when it comes to the biggest names. Swing tackle Josh Jones returns on a one-year deal and key special teams players are also back with the team. Seattle makes their first two additions from other teams by adding running back Emanuel Wilson from Green Bay and Rodney Thomas II from the Indianapolis Colts. Jake Bobo gets an RFA tender, but does it definitely mean he's locked in for 2026? Brandon Pili re-ups on the interior line, and Dareke Young joins Klint Kubiak in Las Vegas. We talk about some NFC West news as the 49ers trade for Osa Odighizuwa, and close with the idea that a trade for Maxx Crosby could still be on the table. Support the show Get in the Flock!

Free agency opened with a bittersweet start for our Seattle Seahawks as Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker signed with the Chiefs on a record-setting deal for a running back. All the best options for replacing K9 were gone by the end of the first day. So are we going to be looking toward the draft? Other departures included Boye Mafe landing with the Bengals and Coby Bryant heading to the Bears. Before discussing who is returning, we talk about how wide receiver contracts around the NFL are sparking sticker shock. Seattle's biggest wins come in-house: Rashid Shaheed re-signs on a three-year deal and, most notably, Josh Jobe returns on a contract that appears to be a steal for the production he provides. Between cornerback Riq Woolen and swing tackle Josh Jones, those participating in chat had a clear preference of who they'd like to see prioritized in the coming days.

Legal tampering (aka NFL Free Agency) kicks off this week with Seahawks fans bracing for potential departures. We may learn as soon as Monday whether we'll say our goodbyes to Kenneth Walker, Rashid Shaheed and others as the market tries to pull what they can from Seattle's championship roster. Safety Coby Bryant, by some reports, could be set to return. How does Kam Curl's deal set the bar? And what would be the reasoning for keeping Bryant with Ty Okada playing well off the bench in his absence? Seattle reportedly called the Eagles about Jalen Carter, but what does it really mean? Finally, Geno Smith's Seahawks legacy gets recognition from a Seattle columnist amid reports that he'll be cut by the Raiders at the start of free agency. Support the show Get in the Flock!

Free agency nears for the Seattle Seahawks after the NFL Combine. In NFC West news, the Rams acquiring All-Pro cornerback Trent McDuffie from the Chiefs means they're going to continue to go all in. The Seahawks roster squeeze will be felt on special teams after reports that contract talks with return ace Rashid Shaheed aren't close. It's very likely he hits the market and we'll have to wonder if his special-teams value and his complementary receiver role can be filled by Tory Horton, through free agency or the draft. The discussion also covers Seattle's decision to allow Jake Bobo to test free agency, and the expectation that Drake Thomas merits a RFA tender. Finally, we close with thoughts on Kyler Murray exiting Arizona and speculation about Malik Willis as a potential Cardinals QB target. Support the show Get in the Flock!

Our Seattle Seahawks are kicking off free agency with five starters and two more key players potentially hitting the open market in two weeks at the start of the new league year. We run through some of the challenges general manager John Schneider faces with keeping each player and take a look at some of the projected salaries by The Athletic and Pro Football Focus. Kenneth Walker may have the biggest gap between how Seahawks fans would value him vs how he may be valued by another team, but a close second could be Boye Mafe. Mafe is considered one of the top 5 edge rushers in free agency, but his play time was limited in 2025 due to the play of Demarcus Lawrence and Uchenna Nwosu and Derick Hall. The amount of potential turnover in the secondary area of concern. Tariq Woolen, Josh Jobe and Coby Bryant are all expected to see contracts upward of $10 million per year and closer to $20 million per year in the case of Woolen. Is that the best use of salary cap dollars to try and keep all three? How would we prioritize? We take a look at the exclusive rights free agents and what that designation means as well as the restricted free agents and the one starter who stands out. In the second half of the show, we talk about potential rule changes (and the lack of rule changes) that are being discussed in Indianapolis. We could see a greater emphasis placed on officiating from the booth than on the field for certain calls. We call out the Los Angeles Rams and Augusta National on news that came out this week about both. Better at Life honors go out to a company innovating battery technology and to YouTube for being a place to find Patriots fan tears, Niners fan tears and Rams fan tears all in one spot.
