Release Date: 12/05/2019
Sea Hawkers Podcast
The free agency frenzy continues, but the Seahawks are mostly sitting out when it comes to the biggest names. Swing tackle Josh Jones returns on a one-year deal and key special teams players are also back with the team. Seattle makes their first two additions from other teams by adding running back Emanuel Wilson from Green Bay and Rodney Thomas II from the Indianapolis Colts. Jake Bobo gets an RFA tender, but does it definitely mean he's locked in for 2026? Brandon Pili re-ups on the interior line, and Dareke Young joins Klint Kubiak in Las Vegas. We talk about some NFC West news as the 49ers...

Free agency opened with a bittersweet start for our Seattle Seahawks as Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker signed with the Chiefs on a record-setting deal for a running back. All the best options for replacing K9 were gone by the end of the first day. So are we going to be looking toward the draft? Other departures included Boye Mafe landing with the Bengals and Coby Bryant heading to the Bears. Before discussing who is returning, we talk about how wide receiver contracts around the NFL are sparking sticker shock. Seattle’s biggest wins come in-house: Rashid Shaheed re-signs on a three-year deal...

Legal tampering (aka NFL Free Agency) kicks off this week with Seahawks fans bracing for potential departures. We may learn as soon as Monday whether we'll say our goodbyes to Kenneth Walker, Rashid Shaheed and others as the market tries to pull what they can from Seattle's championship roster. Safety Coby Bryant, by some reports, could be set to return. How does Kam Curl’s deal set the bar? And what would be the reasoning for keeping Bryant with Ty Okada playing well off the bench in his absence? Seattle reportedly called the Eagles about Jalen Carter, but what does it really mean? Finally,...

Free agency nears for the Seattle Seahawks after the NFL Combine. In NFC West news, the Rams acquiring All-Pro cornerback Trent McDuffie from the Chiefs means they're going to continue to go all in. The Seahawks roster squeeze will be felt on special teams after reports that contract talks with return ace Rashid Shaheed aren’t close. It's very likely he hits the market and we'll have to wonder if his special-teams value and his complementary receiver role can be filled by Tory Horton, through free agency or the draft. The discussion also covers Seattle’s decision to allow Jake Bobo to test...

Our Seattle Seahawks are kicking off free agency with five starters and two more key players potentially hitting the open market in two weeks at the start of the new league year. We run through some of the challenges general manager John Schneider faces with keeping each player and take a look at some of the projected salaries by The Athletic and Pro Football Focus. Kenneth Walker may have the biggest gap between how Seahawks fans would value him vs how he may be valued by another team, but a close second could be Boye Mafe. Mafe is considered one of the top 5 edge rushers in free agency, but...

NFL free agency is about to heat up and our Seattle Seahawks have some big looming decisions. Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker is one of those big decisions. We discuss four reasons it makes sense in this offseason to pay K9 and keep him in Seattle. But, what's the right contract value? Are there other free agents who might be a surprising bargain? Just how much will our 2022 second-round pick get on the open market? Lastly, would we feel comfortable spending another 2nd round pick on a RB in the draft? Support the show Get in the Flock!

New Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Brian Fleury did the press conference and media show tour after being hired this week. What did his answers reveal about his philosophy and does he have a true understanding of what he wants his offense to be? Fleury emphasized a commitment to running the football, including a red-zone approach built on being able to “run it in,” while also suggesting the scheme won’t look drastically different from what fans have seen. We pick out some other stand-out moments to discuss and debate. Support the show Get in the Flock! Visit Or visit our website...

The Seahawks found their new offensive coordinator this week, hiring former 49ers assistant Brian Fleury. We frame our discussion by focusing on three different categories: what we know, what we think we know, and what we don’t know about our newest coach. We detail Fleury's coaching background, address the fact that Mike Macdonald is on his third OC in as many seasons, and how the team is maintaining continuity in several key areas. Additional coaching notes include Daniel Stern and Zachary Orr joining the staff from Baltimore. Support the show Get in the Flock! Visit Or visit our website...

The Seattle Seahawks are now two-time Super Bowl Champions and it still feels surreal. We're continuing the celebration with a full walkthrough of the win over New England and a preview of some of the major offseason topics. Seattle set the tone early, flipped field position through elite special teams, and leaned on a dominant defense that consistently harassed Drake Maye. Kenneth Walker kicked off his campaign for MVP early and the offensive line established their physicality on the first play of the game. Some outstanding plays by the Patriots defense kept Seattle out of the end zone in the...

The Seattle Seahawks are Super Bowl Champions! Join us for a special supersized episode of 3 IN, 3 OUT as we break down 12 unforgettable moments from the Seahawks dominant 29-13 victory over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl 60. Kenneth Walker III captures MVP honors with a masterful performance, while Sam Darnold silences critics with clutch quarterbacking. From Rylie Mills' legendary bull rush sack to Byron Murphy's defensive dominance, we look at the smaller moments and amazing plays that didn't make many Seahawks highlight reels. We're covering 12 special moments from Super Bowl LX...
info_outlineFor just the 12th time in franchise history, the Seattle Seahawks have now won 10 or more games. Russell Wilson has helped to make that happen as he has been the quarterback for 7 of those 12 double digit winning seasons. The latest 10 win season comes after a 37-30 victory over the Minnesota Vikings. Although the Seahawks were down at halftime, it was clear the defense had Cousins, Cook and Diggs bottled up in the first half outside of the first and last drives of the first half. A huge third quarter propelled Seattle to a three-score lead in the fourth quarter, but as we've learned to expect, no lead is ever safe.
Looking ahead to the Sunday Night Football game against the Rams, Seattle will look to continue their 3-0 prime time streak, Carroll's streak of undefeated games in prime time in December, and Pete's next win has a chance to be his 100th victory on a field that helped propel him back into the NFL as the coach for the Seahawks. To get the win the Seahawks will have to find a way to keep Aaron Donald in check, put pressure on Jared Goff and deal with a new piece of the Rams puzzle with Jalen Ramsey now at corner.
Closing out the first half of the show, we discuss the injury that Jadeveon Clowney is dealing with and somewhat recent context of what Marshawn Lynch went through at the end of the 2015 season. It may be an injury that Clowney will decide to fight through until the offseason.
In the second half of the show, we talk more about how the playoff picture is shaping up for the Seahawks. We also congratulate those who have won the last few weeks in the pick'em.

Do better nominees this week are for power rankings who consistently have the Seahawks at the bottom of the list of 10-2 teams in the NFL because of score differential and O.J. Simpson for his description of how the MVP race in shaping up between Lamar Jackson and Russell Wilson.
