While the Seahawks will be much closer to full strength in the secondary against Kyler Murray and company, the offense will be missing at least one starter for the key NFC West clash on Thursday Night Football against the Cardinals.

All that talk about the run game being “non-negotiable?” Well, the Seahawks once again backed up those words in a convincing preseason win over the Chiefs, an encouraging sign for when the real games start next month.

Even in a preseason setting, the Seahawks have showcased several staples in Klint Kubiak’s run game, using a variety of schemes to rush for almost 270 yards against the Chiefs on Friday night.

With another offseason under way and free agency officially opening on March 12, reporter Corbin Smith dishes out instant reactions and grades for each of the Seahawks free agent signings.

When it comes to competing for an NFC West title and a return to the postseason, all eyes will be on Sam Darnold and Cooper Kupp as newcomers filling big shoes. But the Seahawks will only go as far as their most maligned unit, which looks largely unchanged, performs under a new coaching staff.

Plugging several holes in the first week of free agency, the Seahawks still have one glaring need heading towards a critical 2025 NFL Draft, but that issue could be remedied as early as Monday.

Seeking depth along the offensive line, the Seahawks fulfilled that goal by acquiring former Cardinals draft pick Josh Jones on a one-year deal, providing the team with a new swing tackle.
