With the NFL season quick approaching, the Hawk Talk team is super excited to begin another season of talking Seahawks. You’re probably familiar with our regular season mid-week game previews — but this year we’re ecstatic to announce an additional podcast every single week: an immediate/post-game reaction pod (typically occurring...
One player potentially falling under the extension radar is RT Germain Ifedi. With all the focus on extending major defensive contributors like Bobby Wagner and Jarran Reed, it wouldn’t surprise me to see the young offensive lineman receive a deal following the 2019 season. Drafted in 2016 and entering his...

As I was out of the country the past couple of weeks, I wanted to update Seattle’s cap numbers after their recent moves. Their biggest move, of course, was signing Ziggy Ansah — probably the best free agent that was still available on the market. After trading Frank Clark to...
An anxious murmur builds across CenturyLink Field. The Seahawks are trailing 10-0. Their offense is scuffling as the ferocious 49ers defense has imposed their will from the very first snap. Everything is on the line. Fans, players, and coaches all know this team is their best bet to bring home...
The Seahawks had a major need at edge rusher after dealing Frank Clark days before the 2019 draft. The need only grew larger when the Seahawks weren’t able to add an EDGE player with any of their 11 draft picks, ramping up the importance of the post-May 7 free agent...

Ezekiel “Ziggy” Ansah has signed a 1-year deal to be a member of your very own Seattle Seahawks. He’s an explosive edge rusher with high upside and high risk....
Now that the draft is over and the dust has settled, the Seahawks have an opportunity to look inwards and offer extensions to some of their key players. With Frank Clark wearing a Chiefs uniform, cap space is bountiful. Accounting for rookies and the top 51 rule, Seattle sits at...
Draft grades are bad. They’re usually just a too soon regurgitation of the writer’s pre-draft player evaluations. Draft grades are also basically mandatory, since everyone loves the draft and there’s vanishingly little to talk about at this point in the offseason. So let’s recap what Seattle did over the weekend...
Named Best Podcast in Western Washington by King5! This episode is brought to you by Steam Donkey Brewing (steamdonkeybrewing.com) and Altitude Homes (altitude-re.com/hb). Time for a special weekend edition of Real Hawk Talk. Seattle took eleven players in the 2019 draft, and John Schneider was at his deal-making best throughout. What do...
Four picks enter. Eleven picks leave. In one of the most memorable draft performances by a general manager, John Schneider completed eight trades in less than a week to reshape this rookie class and dramatically alter the future of the Seahawks roster. Seattle exited the 2019 draft with the second-most...
We winced when looking at the Seahawks four total selections entering the 2019 NFL Draft. We joked about the certainty of John Schneider trading back to acquire additional selections. We knew that what he did with the 21st pick would have a significant impact on the near-future of this franchise....
