Taking advantage of a fantastic camp and preseason, Montorie Foster Jr. crashed the Seahawks 53-man roster, while several veterans surprisingly got a pink slip.

Though he didn't get help down the stretch to lead the Seahawks to a win, Jalen Milroe took a clear step forward under center in a 9-9 preseason finale tie against the Chiefs.

Locking up yet another defensive cornerstone, the Seahawks paid Leonard Williams a much deserved raise coming off the first All-Pro season of his NFL career.

As expected, NFL owners voted unanimously to welcome the Khosla family into the league's ranks, approving the $9.6 billion sale of the Seahawks in Atlanta.

Finishing with seven sacks and 50 pressures in 2025, the Seahawks expect even more from Byron Murphy entering his third season, and the player shares such expectations.

Not only losing their second preseason game, the Seahawks suffered greater losses in the injury column in Nashville, creating several voids to fill heading towards the regular season.

Though the night ended in defeat, the Seahawks came out on a mission with backups beating up on the Titans starters early, leaving a positive impression in a 19-16 preseason loss.

Joint practices offer plenty of benefits, but the Seahawks felt the impact of one of their major drawbacks, losing a key veteran in Jake Bobo for the season in Nashville.

Just one week after being linked to Terrion Arnold, the Seahawks continued to shore up their corner group signing Trevon Diggs. Is such activity a reason for concern with the position?

Now entering the home stretch of August, the Seahawks have a joint practice and two preseason games left before final cutdown day, creating plenty of pressure for roster hopefuls.

With Terrion Arnold unlikely to sign anytime soon, the Seahawks pounced quickly on another veteran option, bringing Trevon Diggs into the fold.

With reports creating skepticism about when Terrion Arnold may be able to play, the Seahawks continued their search for veteran cornerback help off the free agent scrap heap.

The regular season may still be a little over three weeks away, but with camp now over, the Seahawks have started to shift their preparation with a starters state of mind.

Despite scoring on their opening possession, not much went right afterward for the Seahawks as they dropped their exhibition opener to the Cowboys.

Following months of negotiations, the Seahawks finally have their superstar cornerback locked up for the long haul with market setting money.

With a signing now imminent, the Seahawks don't know when - or if - Terrion Arnold will join the team, but as a football player, there's plenty of intrigue.

After hosting the cornerback last week with a workout featured on Hard Knocks, the Seahawks have decided to roll the dice on talented former first round pick Terrion Arnold.

Anders, Corbin, and Turbo react to the Seahawks reportedly signing Terrion Arnold. The guys also look ahead to the first preseason game of the 2026 season as the Seahawks take on the Cowboys.

Starters likely won't play for the Seahawks in their preseason opener against the Cowboys, but there's much at stake for rookies and fringe players aiming to improve their roster chances.

There are millions of reasons why Devon Witherspoon could be distracted right now, but the All-Pro cornerback and his Seahawks counterparts are all business at training camp.

Now entering the third week of camp, the Seahawks still have plenty of scores to settle on the depth chart at cornerback and safety with several vets putting their best foot forward on Monday.

Playing in front of fans at their home stadium for the first time since January, the Seahawks turned in a short, but intense practice for Football Fan Fest at Lumen Field.

In the ebbs and flows of training camp, the Seahawks' 12th practice may have been the most balanced with the offense and defense trading shots all morning long.

Closing in on their Football Fest scrimmage and the preseason opener, the Seahawks already have 11 camp practices in the books. Who has helped or hurt their roster chances so far?

Already with a superstar in Jaxon Smith-Njigba at the top of the depth chart, the Seahawks have flexed their muscles at receiver with Rashid Shaheed locked in and Tory Horton healthy.

Though there's little drama at the top of the depth chart at receiver for the Seahawks, half a dozen players remain squarely in the mix for one or two roster spots, including an ascending Ricky White III.

Coming from expected, and not-so-expected, sources, the Seahawks opened up the skies with no shortage of fireworks in Monday's eighth training camp practice.

Rounding back into form after a season-ending injury, Tory Horton looked like his pre-injury self leading a dynamic passing performance in the Seahawks seventh camp practice.

Coming to Seattle as a first-time play caller, Brian Fleury finally showed his true colors emphasizing Elijah Arroyo and the tight ends in an intense sixth training camp practice.

Back in pads for the first time since February, while physicality took a step up a notch, running backs kept proving themselves as pass catching threats in the Seahawks fifth camp practice.

Taking the next step towards the regular season, the Seahawks will bust out the pads for the first time in Thursday's fifth practice, ushering in the more physical portion of training camp.

Rebounding from a tough start to his second camp, Jalen Milroe reminded those in attendance at the Seahawks fourth practice why the franchise took a shot on him as a developmental quarterback.

It may be only the third practice in training camp, but the Seahawks' defense already looks to be in midseason form with Ernest Jones and company holding serve.

Even without a single player producing more than seven sacks from their EDGE group, the Seahawks had one of the NFL's best pass rushes in 2025. Will that strategy beat fruit again?

The Super Bowl champs are about to report to training camp, but not without question marks. How does Nick Emmanwori's sudden injury affect the outlook? What are some camp battles to look out for? Who is going to be this year's training camp star? Anders, Corbin, and Rob break down the things to know before the Seahawks begin training camp this weekend.

Two days away from the start of training camp, the Seahawks will have positional battles underway picking up from offseason workouts. Which ones stand out as the most intriguing?

Catalysts for the top scoring defense in the NFL, Ernest Jones and Drake Thomas shined for the Seahawks in the middle, and now face the challenge of replicating that success in 2026.

The Seahawks hope to avoid drama with star Devon Witherspoon, but the All-Pro still needs paid, leaving a cloud hovering over the cornerback position heading into training camp.

Among the biggest questions for the defending champions, the Seahawks have a new-look backfield without Ken Walker III or a healthy Zach Charbonnet. Can the group succeed filling those voids?

Sam Darnold reached the pinnacle of NFL quarterbacking by leading his team to a Super Bowl win, but skeptics remain. Can he silence the rest in a "new" offense?

Bringing rookies into town a week before veterans report, the Seahawks will kick off training camp without one of their eight draft picks able to practice.

A key ingredient in the No. 1 ranked scoring defense, the Seahawks turned up the heat on quarterbacks with 47 sacks last season. Can they take it up another notch in 2026?

With new Seahawks ownership officially in place, we debate whether fans should have faith or fear, react to ESPN's latest rankings, discuss the start of training camp, and debate one, off-topic, fun question: Should LeBron James be the face of a returning SuperSonics franchise if they were back this season?

The Seahawks ended their Super Bowl run with the run game rolling, but keeping the ground game going strong will be a challenge with several new faces in the backfield.

Spearheading their title run last season, the Seahawks benefited from several star defensive backs wearing multiple hats in the secondary, and the group could be even more versatile in 2026.

The Seahawks always are chasing edges, a philosophy that could now be tested if reports are true of apparent interest in free agent cornerback Terrion Arnold.

Returning most of their band of versatile disruptors from a year ago, the Seahawks will boast one of the most talented safety groups in the sport. How can Mike Macdonald maximize the group's depth?

Following nearly a decade of playing musical chairs at center, Jalen Sundell provided glimpses of being a long-term starter in 2026. Will that stability last?

Coming on board as a first round pick, Grey Zabel managed to exceed high expectations as a rookie for the Seahawks, while Anthony Bradford made stark improvements. What's next for the duo?

The Seahawks will have both Devon Witherspoon and Josh Jobe returning, but there are plenty of unknowns behind them after Riq Woolen's departure.

Struggling for years to find consistent play at both tackle spots, the Seahawks have enjoyed the fruits of strong drafts with Abe Lucas and Charles Cross earning second contracts. Can they take the step to elite in '26?

Linebackers set the tone for the Seahawks' top scoring defense in 2026. Can Ernest Jones and Drake Thomas raise the bar again in Mike Macdonald’s scheme?

Pay Anthony Bradford, or make him earn it one more year?

Jumping into the play caller role for the first time, Brian Fleury remains a mystery for the Seahawks, but his track record does provide possible clues for what his offense will look like.

Aside from swapping Boye Mafe for Dante Fowler Jr., the Seahawks didn't make any notable additions or changes to their EDGE group. But does that make the position a question mark?

Led by reigning Offensive Player of the Year Jaxon Smith-Njigba, the Seahawks have most of their receiving corps back in 2026. What does the group's maximum potential look like?

Will the Seahawks pay their star, or risk a training camp standoff with Devon Witherspoon?

As a new season rapidly approaches, the Seahawks will have big targets on their backs defending their Super Bowl title. Which players are poised for a breakout to help the cause?

Building the foundation for a Super Bowl champion, the Seahawks have found great success in the NFL Draft in recent years. Which picks stand out as John Schneider's best over the past decade?

Marvel may have dominated the concept of multiverses, but in the case of the Seahawks, there's no shortage of hypotheticals that could have dramatically changed the past 10 years for the franchise.

Making the playoffs six of the past 10 seasons, the Seahawks have been as competitive as any team in the NFL, with plenty of fun moments along the way.

One of the most consistent contenders in the NFL over the past decade, the Seahawks have had no shortage of stars on the gridiron. Who stands out as the best of the best?

After putting a bow on the offseason program, the Seahawks have headed off to summer break with plenty of roster decisions yet to be made heading towards training camp.

After trading for Myles Garrett, the Rams have quickly leapfrogged the Seahawks as NFC West favorites for most pundits. But does Seattle still have a major advantage at its disposal?

Anders, Rob, and Turbo discuss the fallout of the Myles Garrett trade to the Rams, the legacy of Russell Wilson in Seattle as he announces his retirement, and the Derick Hall extension.

Hanging up his cleats after 14 seasons, including 10 with the Seahawks, Russell Wilson's Hall of Fame candidacy remains up for debate.

Partaking in their first full offseason together as teammates, Sam Darnold and Rashid Shaheed appear to have to found the same page during the midst of OTAs.

The Seahawks may not have made a splashy trade as their NFC West rival Rams did on Monday, but John Schneider brought much-needed stability to his own EDGE group.

Already sporting massive targets on their backs, the Seahawks' pursuit of another Lombardi Trophy will be significantly more challenging with Myles Garrett coming to L.A.

The Seahawks have a storied history at the running back position, but there's no guarantee Jadarian Price gets off to a fast start as the team's latest high draft pick at the position.

Byron Murphy II and AJ Barner took big steps forward in their sophomore seasons for the Seahawks and the franchise hopes to receive more contributions from their 2024 class in year three.
