Big game hunting: Should the Seahawks trade for Trey Hendrickson?

Is the biggest name on the trade block Seattle bound?

As we move past the 4th of July festivities, may I remind you that we have NFL football this month? That’s right, on Thursday, July 31st, the Hall of Fame Game will take place between the Detroit Lions and the Los Angeles Chargers. With football on the horizon, there is still a ton of uncertainty throughout the league. There are quarterback competitions everywhere, drama with unsigned first round picks, and some big names potentially still on the trade market.

Arguably the biggest (and most vocal) name is Cincinnati Bengals edge...

49ers star Brandon Aiyuk not ruled out for Seahawks game, but likely to start on PUP

49ers star Brandon Aiyuk not ruled out for Seahawks game, but likely to start on PUP

Aiyuk tore his ACL last October.

The Seattle Seahawks’ 2025 season opener will be at home against the San Francisco 49ers, whose wide receiver group may look a bit different from seasons past. Deebo Samuel is with the Washington Commanders, while Brandon Aiyuk’s knee injury suffered last year could put his Week 1 availability in doubt.

49ers insider Matt Maiocco reported to KNBR that while Aiyuk is likely to begin the season on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list, there is a chance he could be available for opening day in Seattle.

Via 49ers WebZone:

How Abe Lucas performed to end his 2024 season

How Abe Lucas performed to end his 2024 season

Lucas has brought stability back to the right side of the line after countless. Is that enough to justify a big contract extension from the Seahawks?

The 2024 season marked the return of Abe Lucas to the Seahawks’ starting offensive line after an injury-plagued 2023. Playing at right tackle, Lucas stood out for his combination of solid technique, controlled aggression and good spatial awareness, being a key player in the running attack and in protecting the quarterback.

His potential is undeniable, the problem is that he is entering the final year of his contract with injuries in the first three...

There’s some major injury news that could affect one of the Seattle Seahawks’ early regular season games.

The NFL has a salary cap problem

The pandemic resulted in NFL teams bumping up against the cap for years, but teams are now flush with cap space, creating a whole new set of problems.

Over the course of the offseason there’s been no shortage of debate regarding whether the Seattle Seahawks opted to head down the correct path at the quarterback position, trading Geno Smith to the Las Vegas Raiders and signing free agent Sam Darnold. Whether one prefers Sam Darnold for $105M or Geno Smith for $106M over the next three seasons, the bigger issue at play is not who will be under center for...

Best NFL picks ever by draft slot? Seahawks got 11 of them

Spanning decades, the Seahawks have an impressive list of big hits across the entire draft.

ESPN put the full weight of their offseason might into ranking the greatest draft pick ever at each selection, all the way to pick 262. Pretty cool exercise, and the Seattle Seahawks did quite alright for themselves.

Here’s the list!

6. Walter Jones, Tackle.

Ben Solak called him “one of the best offensive linemen of all time,” and he beat Julio Jones for this honor at number six.

36. Kevin Mawae, Center
