The Seattle Seahawks are reporting to training camp on Wednesday as a team in transition.
After five consecutive seasons with at least 10 victories that included two trips to the Super Bowl, the Seahawks posted a 9-7 record and missed the playoffs in 2017. Seattle had the NFL's No. 1 defense in four of the five seasons, but several of the players who fueled the best half-decade in the Seahawks' history are gone.
Seattle coach Pete Carroll said earlier this year that new leaders would need to emerge for the Seahawks. He mentioned defensive tackle Jarran Reed as a possibility, calling the former Alabama standout "the heart and soul up front" for Seattle.
