Analysis: With Bobby Wagner getting paid, Seahawks now need young players to show they deserve some big contracts, too

Finally, just as a new football season really kicks into gear, the Seahawks can claim they have checked every item on their offseason to-do list.

The goal all along, since the frustrating end to the 2018 season in Dallas, had been to sign the two pillars of their organization, Russell Wilson and Bobby Wagner, to extensions, keeping not only links to the Super Bowl days, but also hope that maybe a return isn’t all that far away.

Those two, along with linebacker K.J. Wright — also signed to an extension this offseason — are the only three starters left from the team that so gloriously routed Denver on that February night in 2014 when the Seahawks looked like a budding dynasty (DeShawn Shead, a reserve defensive back on the 2013 team, was re-signed by Seattle Saturday, making a fourth player on the roster who played in the Super Bowl win).
