There might not have been a more head scratching offseason across the NFL than that of the Seattle Seahawks.
On the surface it makes sense to swap a quarterback into his late 30’s for a younger, more physicality talented model. DK Metcalf isn’t a flavor of receiver that works for every team. Jaxon Smith-Njigba was Seattle’s primary pass catching option last year, which is why they sent the veteran to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Meanwhile the defense is growing more talented and multiple under second-year head coach Mike MacDonald. If the defense can take a step forward while the offense rebuilds on the fly, the Seahawks could be a surprisingly tough out in the NFC West arms race.
