The Seattle Seahawks were able to win ten games in 2024; however, they fell short of the postseason after losing a tiebreaker to the Los Angeles Rams. The franchise overhauled the offense as six of their top nine leaders in snaps played - including quarterback Geno Smith and wide receivers Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf - are no longer with the franchise.
While their defense will have more continuity as their eight leaders in snaps played will all return, there have been pundits suggesting that the Seahawks will regress. Much of that is centered around the expectation that incoming quarterback Sam Darnold will take a step back after having the best season of his career with the Minnesota Vikings.
