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...

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.

In a midnight showdown of high intensity negotiations, the Seattle Seahawks and Russell Wilson’s camp agreed to an extension that will keep him in Seattle for the next five years. This is incredible news for every single Seahawks fan. He is arguably the most valuable player in the history of...
They did it. The Seattle Seahawks swallowed their pride and honored the deadline set by their quarterback. Russell Wilson took a reasonable deal for a player of his caliber, position, and age, without demanding league-altering mechanics like tying his salary to a percentage of the salary cap. Perhaps more importantly,...
The clock is ticking on a Russell Wilson extension. With a deadline of Monday at midnight, reports indicate that both sides are moving to get a deal one. For what it’s worth, and it’s worth very little, my gut tells me a deal gets done. Russell Wilson is the franchise....
