When a contract year isn’t a contract year – Seaside Joe Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Uchenna Nwosu headline Seahawks playing to get a new contract or keep their old one

Daniel Jeremiah: Why Seahawks shouldn’t trade Riq Woolen – Seattle Sports For the...

The Seattle Seahawks are steamrolling towards a quarterback controversy.

Well, if things continue at their current trajectory, it won’t be much of a controversy at all. But Seattle’s positioned itself for a very different future at QB than nearly anyone would have predicted six months ago.

“With the 92nd pick of the 2025 NFL draft, the Seattle Seahawks select Jalen Milroe, quarterback, Alabama.”

The Seahawks had traded Geno Smith, signed most-polarizing-figure of the offseason Sam Darnold, and now added Milroe as the developmental quarterback of the future.

I’m not sure why I’m telling you all this. If you’re here you...

The Minnesota Vikings have already lost as many games as they did all of the 2024 season, when Sam Darnold was their starting quarterback. J.J. McCarthy has been out since Week 3 and otherwise is 1-1 in his young career. Carson Wentz has deputized for him and the results have been as Wentz-ian as you might expect. Minnesota sits at 1-2 in Wentz’s starts and that one win is against the defensively impressive but offensively challenged Cleveland Browns.

As for Jim Harbaugh’s Chargers, a 3-0 start against the entire AFC West has given way to a 1-3 cold spell and...

On Thursday, the Washington Commanders announced that quarterback Jayden Daniels has been ruled out for the team’s Monday Night Football contest against the Kansas City Chiefs due to a recent hamstring injury. The Commanders will host the Seattle Seahawks at Northwest Stadium for Sunday Night Football in Week 9.

Daniels was taken out in the third quarter of Sunday’s 44-22 loss vs. the Dallas Cowboys, completing 12 of 22 passes for 156 yards and a touchdown and rushing for 35 yards and another TD before exiting with a hamstring strain. Per ESPN’s John Keim, [Commanders head coach Dan Quinn says...

The Seattle Seahawks are off this week, which is a good time for some rest and relaxation and maybe even some reflection.

At 5-2, the Seahawks are tied for the NFC West lead (but lose the tiebreaker to the San Francisco 49ers on the head-to-head). Only the Green Bay Packers have fewer losses than Seattle in the NFC, but it’s also an extremely congested conference in which it’s very possible that 10-7 will once again not be enough for a playoff berth. The standard for winning the NFC West may also be no fewer than 12 wins, which is probably...

The Seattle Seahawks rookies combined for 198 snaps in Week 7 versus the Houston Texans. That was the most so far this season. Gray Zabel and Nick Emmanwori had a significant impact, and Elijah Arroyo also played well, despite the “bad image” left by the fumble basically at the end of the game. Tory Horton hasn’t been producing in recent weeks but can still contribute, and we could see Robbie Ouzts return in the coming weeks.

All data used in this article was taken from PFF.

Let’s analyze some of the key plays from this game!

JSN penalties ≠ DK penalties – Seaside Joe On...

On Monday night the Seattle Seahawks dispatched the Houston Texans 27-19 in a game that did not feel anywhere near as close as the final score.

With that victory in the books, and Seattle in a three-way logjam atop the NFC West, it appeared likely that the team would coast into the bye week with the trade deadline looming after Week 9 on November 4. However, with the possibility that rookie Robbie Ouzts could return from injured reserve, along with reports that second year guard Christian Haynes could soon return to practice, the Seahawks front office on Wednesday went ahead...

It’s time for the bye week edition of Seahawks Reacts! The confidence poll will remain in place as the weekly standard question. After a sloppy (at least offensively) win over the Houston Texans, the Seahawks are now 5-2 and the only team with a better record in the NFC are the 4-1-1 Green Bay Packers. Unfortunately, the NFC looks to be...

To ease the pain of all Mariners fans, the Seattle Seahawks came out flying on Monday Night Football in the first 20 minutes, before trying everything possible to give the game to the Houston Texans. Despite their efforts, the Seahawks held on for a 27-19 win, climbing to 5-2 on the season.

I won’t say that the home game blues have been cured, but it was nice to see this team get back to .500 at home, as being good at home will be crucial when teams like the Rams and Colts come to down when the season will be...

Monday night at Lumen Field the Seattle Seahawks upended the Houston Texans to move to 5-2 on the season heading into the bye, with the next game on the schedule being a Sunday Night Football matchup against the Washington Commanders.

During the victory over the Texans, the Seahawks once again used the same five starting offensive linemen they have all season, seemingly giving the team at least some level of the continuity head coach Mike Macdonald has mentioned on multiple occasions.

At wide receiver it was once against the Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp show, with Tory Horton coming in...

The Seattle Seahawks defense dismantled the Houston Texans on Monday night. Things like 31 yards allowed to running backs, 10 tackles for loss, and 12 passes defensed, you know. Just a normal day in Mike Macdonald land.

Anybody who watched the game knows the score and discrepancy should have been an avalanche, had the refs accurately diagnosed a safety, or Klint Kubiak didn’t get so weird. It was, outside of three plays and some dumb play calls, a beatdown. But on Seattle Sports 710 the day after, Macdonald curiously indicated he’s been holding back quite a bit, for the sake...
