Seahawks need Doug Baldwin to step up again

With the Seahawks set to report for training camp Friday (practices begin Saturday), it’s time to look at the players I feel are most pivotal in 2016.

Call it “16 for ’16,” as we count down the 16 most important Seahawks in 2016, unveiling one new player each day until the team reports.

Doug Baldwin, who set records last season for which he was heavily rewarded in the offseason, is next at No. 6 on our countdown.

Player: Doug Baldwin.

Position: Wide receiver.

2016 contract status: Baldwin signed a four-year, $46 million extension in June that will keep him with the Seahawks through 2020.
