336: Seahawks now a 'favorite' to trade for Julio Jones
Sea Hawkers Podcast
Last week the word on the street was the Atlanta Falcons wanted a first round pick to trade future Hall of Fame wide receiver Julio Jones. Now, after an appearance on Undisputed, it seems much more likely that a trade will happen. We take a listen to the phone call that definitely wasn't an impromptu tv moment and talk about the Seahawks as an odds on favorite to trade for Jones. Considering what Julio said during the call, Seattle does make some sense in terms of his landing spot. While Julio would offer the potential to impact the offense, there is a bigger area of need and a player who may...

335: Metcalf ran, Carroll chewed, and the 2021 schedule was released
Sea Hawkers Podcast
Earlier this month, DK Metcalf showed up on the track to attempt to qualify for the Olympics. It may not have gone as he hoped, but we take a look at the event as well as Pete Carroll's reaction to it during his latest appearance on the Rich Eisen show. Coach Carroll said there are bigger things to come for DK beyond the football field, but didn't give any further details. Pete did offer some thoughts on the Russell Wilson offseason situation and what to expect (kind of) from their new offense with Shane Waldron as the coordinator. Most importantly, we got key details on Pete's gum chewing...

333: Seattle Seahawks 2021 Draft Recap
Sea Hawkers Podcast
John Schneider and Pete Carroll went into this year's 2021 NFL Draft with only three draft picks after using their other picks to acquire known talent. Jamal Adams and Carlos Dunlap were acquired in 2020 and are both under contract to remain with the team through 2021. Gabe Jackson was picked up in a trade this offseason with the Las Vegas Raiders to add to the offensive line after the departure of Mike Iupati. However, the Seahawks have never picked fewer than five players in a draft in the entire history of the franchise. But the Seahawks GM only made two trades on draft day and still...

332: Seattle Seahawks 2021 Draft Preview (Part 2)
Sea Hawkers Podcast
Back with part two of our discussion as Rob Staton of Seahawks Draft Blog previews some of the defensive players who could be on Seattle's radar. This show kicks off with a look at what might be the team's biggest need overall. If the Seahawks can add a cornerback who matches the caliber or improves upon Shaquill Griffin's rookie season, that would help fans feel a lot better about the defense going into 2021. If John Schneider and Pete Carroll break form and address cornerback in the second round, something they've never done, then Rob likes Benjamin St-Juste of Minnesota. He also likes Ambry...

330: Brandon Marshall says the Russell Wilson saga is over!
Sea Hawkers Podcast
It only took about 10 weeks for the discussion about the Seahawks potentially moving on from Russell Wilson to go full circle. It started with Brandon Marshall in late January saying that Wilson was "beyond frustrated" with Pete Carroll. This week he has reported that the relationship between the two have never been better! Marshall said it came down to a meeting between the two that turned everything around. Tyler Lockett is set to be with the Seahawks for a lot time, signing a 4-year contract extension through 2025.

329: The offseason plan for the Seahawks is coming into focus
Sea Hawkers Podcast
After two weeks of free agency, the plan for the Seahawks offseason is becoming clear. The large contract they traded for on the offensive line by acquiring Gabe Jackson is essentially swapped out with the departure of Jarran Reed and his contract on the defensive line. The return of Carlos Dunlap may be the most important move and the reduction in his salary allows for the addition of defensive end Kerry Hyder and the return of Al Woods to the interior. It's also appears they are sacrificing their full participation in the draft and instead trading for proven veteran talent. The San Francisco...

328: The Seahawks go from not doing much in three days to doing something in free agency
Sea Hawkers Podcast
It's once again that time of year where we hope that the Seahawks will go after some big name targets and free agency and come away somewhat disappointed. Coming into Wednesday, Seattle had signed another cornerback castoff from the San Francisco 49ers and signed Poona Ford to stay in Seattle for two more years. Neither the offensive line and defensive line were addressed. Not until the second half of the recording of this latest show. After talking about missed opportunities in free agency, we look back on some of the worst takes regarding the drama surrounding Russell Wilson. We have...

327: Does Pete Carroll have a messaging problem?
Sea Hawkers Podcast
This week show begins with a two-minute rundown of all the biggest stories that Adam has taken note of from the past week. Notably, Justin Britt signing with the Texans. Then we get into the clip behind one of the biggest stories of the week that was reported incorrectly . . . that the Seahawks are "shopping" Russell Wilson. When, after clarification, they were actually returning phone calls. Dan Patrick, the host behind the interview that kicked off the offseason of drama, joined 950 KJR in Seattle and had a couple of statements that offer a national perspective of the situation with the...
info_outlineJared Allen sounds close to signing with the Seahawks, but says he needs the weekend to make a decision. Adam and Brandan talk about how signing Allen would dampen the pain of Golden Tate leaving the team.
The guys talk about why Tate ultimately left Seattle and how it's not hard to blame him for doing so, although it sounds like Golden has been taking quite a bit of heat for it via Twitter. Cracking on him out the door isn't going to brink him back and takes away from how hard he's worked in his time in Seattle. Is Tate's departure the biggest hit the team?
Finishing off the hour, the guys look at other teams around the NFC West and how they stack up with their free agent moves so far.
Ryan Asdourian, handler for the Seahawks mascot Blitz, comes on the show to talk about some of his greatest moments on the sidelines and off the field at charity events, his diagnosis with Multiple Sclerosis and the Blitz Tackles MS events coming up in Seattle next month.
In their "Do Better" segment, Brandan cracks on Steve Smith for his response to a online video that went viral and Adam takes on a former Seahawks receiver who thinks he would dominate Richard Sherman. Finally, find out why Zach Miller and Jared Allen are this week's "Better at Life" nominees.
