Fun fact for the day:
The Seattle Seahawks and Miami Dolphins are the only teams with multiple Lombardi’s that have never had a quarterback be named Super Bowl MVP.
In Deep Space Nine, Miles O’Brien explains it to Rom how anyone in command of a ship, regardless of rank, is called “Captain” out of tradition. 2/2
Tiny nitpick about Starfleet Academy but it’s yet another example of these writers not understanding the material or their own history: in the last episode, Commander Reno is in command of the Athena. She starts barking orders, the cadets say “aye Captain” and she says “not a Captain.” Ugh. 1/2 🧵
Although SB 6346 (Washington’s “millionaire tax”) hasn’t been signed into law yet, and won’t touch high-earners until 2029 at the earliest, its impact is already being felt according to Seahawks GM John Schneider. seahawkswire.usatoday.com/story/sports...
The Seattle Seahawks have signed their first external free agent of the offseason seahawkswire.usatoday.com/story/sports...
If you were to build a CB in a Pete Carroll-style lab, he would look like Riq Woolen.
Woolen has all the physical tools you’d want in a CB, and when he’s “on” he’s a great player. He was also always kind & politely answered every question I asked him. I wish him well in Philly.
Riq Woolen is officially a Seahawk no more... he is headed to the City of Brotherly Love on a one-year, $15 million dollar deal. seahawkswire.usatoday.com/story/sports...
The Seahawks will likely need to sign a running back in free agency to help shoulder the load in 2026 with George Holani and any rookie they might draft. seahawkswire.usatoday.com/story/sports...

It never seemed like the Seahawks quite knew how to properly incorporate Shaheed in their offense. To my eyes, it seemed as if he and Darnold were a step or two off at times. But to have an entire offseason working together and with Brian Fleury? Yeah, I’m excited for 2026.
The Seahawks rarely do one/half year rentals. When John Schneider acquires a player with an expiring contract at the deadline, he finds a way to keep them in Seattle. Rashid Shaheed is staying put. seahawkswire.usatoday.com/story/sports...
Seattle’s talent exodus continues. Boye Mafe is the latest Seahawk who will be playing elsewhere in 2026. seahawkswire.usatoday.com/story/sports...
The Seahawks make their first big move of free agency seahawkswire.usatoday.com/story/sports...
The 49ers have a roster filled with aging, injury-prone players and a major concern of theirs for years now is keeping everyone healthy.
So their solution was to sign a soon-to-be 33 year old coming off a season where he broke his clavicle. Okay. seahawkswire.usatoday.com/story/sports...
Raiders spent $66.5 million dollars and a third round pick on Geno for 2 wins and 17 interceptions.
If teams get a call John Schneider offering up a Seahawks quarterback they are going to let it go to voicemail at this point.
2025: Seahawks hire Klint Kubiak, Geno Smith requests a trade out of Seattle
2026: Raiders hire Klint Kubiak, Geno Smith gets cut by the Raiders
Two years in a row of Kubiak being hired preceding Geno Smith leaving the team
Rashid Shaheed was an important cog in the Seahawks machine this past year, but it looks like he’s going to test the waters of free agency seahawkswire.usatoday.com/story/sports...
Seahawks fans may be sad to see Kyler Murray leave the Cardinals. Against Seattle, Murray was 2-9 and on an eight-game losing streak. Facing Murray was as close to a guaranteed win as they come, and the Hawks got two of them a year. seahawkswire.usatoday.com/story/sports...
