San Francisco 49ers - Know Your Rival 2026

San Francisco 49ers - Know Your Rival 2026
Know Your Rival season kicks off with the team the Seahawks have held without a touchdown in their last two matchups - the San Francisco 49ers. Seattle closed out the regular season with a 13-3 win at Levi's Stadium, blew the doors off them in a 41-6 divisional round rout, and then celebrated a Super Bowl in the Niners' own locker room. So what's left of San Francisco after a season like that? We break down a defense that finished dead last in the NFL in sacks and somehow worse in interceptions, a coaching staff that just lost its DC to the Titans (and lost their OC to us), and a receiver room that has almost completely turned over. Then there's Brandon Aiyuk, whose contract standoff and new beef with Jayden Daniels might be the messiest subplot in the NFL. We also dig into the cap sheet. Brock Purdy's deal won't be ugly for a couple years, but Nick Bosa's coming off his third ACL tear and it could be his last season if things don't go well for him ahead of a potential out in his contract. While San Francisco is sitting on the league's biggest amount of cap space, it seems as though there nothing obvious to spend it on apart from future obligations coming due. In the second half of the show, we look at where ESPN's roster power rankings actually put the Seahawks compared to the rest of the NFC contenders, announce our group tickets for the home opener banner-raising game, and hand out Do Better and Better at Life honors, including a former member of the Seahawks front office who just became the Vikings general manager.

Up, Down or Same: The 2026 Seahawks Offense is Poised to Improve
The arrows shift to the 2026 Seahawks offense as we grade each position group as trending up, down or sideways from what we watched last season. We start with fullback and debate how much impact the spot really has, but there is some optimism on Robbie Ouzts and whether he can shift to a Juszczyk-style role. Thanks to rare continuity, returning coaches and improving young starters, it's difficult to see the offensive line going anywhere but up this year. Will confidence following a Super Bowl victory help or hurt Sam Darnold when it comes to turning over the football? Lost explosiveness of Ken Walker should have the running backs trending downward, but the Seahawks have added veteran depth and a 1st round pick. Can Jadarian Price match K9's explosiveness? Tight ends and wideouts hinge on increased usage under the new offensive coordinator, AJ Barner’s ceiling, Elijah Arroyo’s potential, Rashid Shaheed’s chemistry, and whether Tory Horton can stay healthy.

503: Thanks DangeRuss! A tribute to Russell Wilson
With Russell Wilson’s recent retirement announced, we want to celebrate his Seattle Seahawks legacy, from the “F” draft grade of his 2012 draft class to the defining moments that made Seattle a Super Bowl champion for the first time. We highlight seven iconic plays: rookie-year scrambles vs. the 49ers and Patriots, the 2017 double-pirouette strike to Doug Baldwin, pinpoint touchdowns to Tyler Lockett, the frigid 2015 playoff vs. Minnesota, and the overtime dagger to Jermaine Kearse in the 2014 NFC Championship. The Hall of Fame argument focuses on how he stacks up against other dual threat inductees: John Elway, Fran Tarkenton and Steve Young. Wilson’s elite efficiency, comeback resume and status as the only NFL quarterback to achieve a 40,000/5,000 passing-rushing milestone put him in elite company amony other HOF quarterbacks. In the second half of the show we get into the off-field lore that also defined his career. We also take a look at how Wilson's success changed the opportunities for shorter quarterbacks in the NFL.

Three Important Non-Stars to Help the 2026 Seahawks Run it Forward
Before kicking off on the scheduled topic, we hit on a couple offseason headlines from press conferences and other interviews this week. From Anthony Bradford's injury and A.J. Barner's "surgeries" to a couple key takeaways from Sam Darnold about the new offense. Who are the unsung offensive pieces that can matter most in repeating as champs? We discuss the impact one receiver could make and how it could be a game changer on offense based on what we saw last season. We also look at how production of the offense can come in different ways, particularly from the tight end spot and why the Seahawks saw that value during the middle of the season last year. Finally, there's one player whose continuity with Sam Darnold combined with a potential third-year leap could help provide stability at a position that was critical to the team's first Super Bowl victory.

Derick Hall Extension, Myles Garrett Hype & Charles Cross Film from 2023
Seahawks left tackle Charles Cross faced off against Myles Garrett and the Cleveland Browns back in 2023. What went right? What went wrong? And what did an average drive look like both from a scheme perspective and a matchup perspective? Before we get there, we discuss the three-year, $42M extension for edge Derek Hall (up to $46.5M, $21M guaranteed). Hall’s pressure rate and run-defense impact demonstrate his balanced game, but what is he missing that sets him apart from the most elite players at the position? After a look at a few of the reps between Cross and Garrett, we talk about the anticipation for the Christmas matchup and close with the news of Russell Wilson’s retirement.

Blockbuster Trades Impact Seahawks Week 1 and Week 18 Opponents
Seattle’s division race shifts after the Rams acquire Myles Garrett, giving up Jared Verse plus a 2027 first, 2028 second and a future third, and the move jolts Super Bowl odds while raising questions about L.A.’s all-in window around Matthew Stafford. The conversation weighs how much better the Rams get, whether chemistry or injuries could blunt the impact, and if Seattle ever could—or should—have matched that kind of package, including a debate over what it would take to trade for a star edge like Maxx Crosby versus trusting long-term development and midseason value trades. The show also hits the Patriots’ deal for A.J. Brown from the Eagles and what it means for Seattle’s Week 1 matchup, while closing with confidence that the Seahawks remain the defending champions.

Up, Down or Same: Looking Ahead to the 2026 Seahawks Defense
Today we're looking at the 2026 Seattle Seahawks defense and going through an “up, down, or same” exercise across key position groups. DeMarcus Lawrence was at practice today. Was the retirement buzz even a slight possibility? Safety sparks some early debate as we kick off the look across position groups. The loss of Coby Bryant matters, but Bud Clark’s upside, plus staples like Julian Love and the role of Nick Emmanwori, keep the arrow trending steady with potential lift. Cornerback draws some concern after Tariq Woolen’s departure, with Devon Witherspoon and Josh Jobe anchoring a thinner depth chart that leans on rookies and unproven options. The interior line, with Leonard Williams, Byron Murphy II, Jarran Reed, and rotational help from Riley Mills, has us wondering who may be on the outside looking in when it comes time for cuts. We close with edge and linebacker, and look ahead to the importance of maintaining premium interior disruption and disciplined run defense to keep the championship-level unit rolling next season.

List Season Kicks Off With Loads of Seahawks Disrespect
Is this year's "list season" going to be “disrespect season” for our reigning Super Bowl champion Seahawks? We take a look at four recent Seahawks-related narratives in this week's show as 49ers fans react oddly to an “Lumen South” meme. The first "list" is a 2024 NFL redraft that sends Seattle away from Byron Murphy only to land on Braden Fiske. In what world is Fiske better than Byron Murphy? In other Rams news, Ian Rapoport is carrying water for the Rams by saying drafting Ty Simpson still “makes a ton of sense” after Matthew Stafford’s extension. Finally, Mina Kimes and Ben Solak’s 2026 QB draft board slots Sam Darnold 19th behind players like Kyler Murray and rookie Fernando Mendoza. Support the show Get in the Flock!

500: Seahawks Super Bowl Window Then vs. Now — Lessons John Schneider Learned
Episode 500 looks back at the Seattle Seahawks previous championship window to spot what fueled the decline from back-to-back Super Bowl appearances. The conversation centers on three of John Schneider's costly inflection points from 2013 to 2015: the Percy Harvin trade and contract (and the draft opportunity cost), sacrificing trench stability by trading Pro Bowl center Max Unger for Jimmy Graham, and focusing on perimeter talent while missing on investments in the trenches. We revisit draft classes that produced limited impact in 2013 and 2014. And while the 2015 class was highlighted by Tyler Lockett and Frank Clark, they ended up moving on early from an offensive lineman who had a solid career with the Colts. We compare that era’s heavy roster turnover to the current team’s continuity. And Seattle appears to be avoiding splashy trades, prioritizing the right re-signings, and keeping flexibility to invest in the trenches to extend their window this time around. In the second half of the show, we talk more about the schedule release and the potential timeline for the return of Zach Charbonnet. We also thank our members of the flock who have helped get us to 500 episodes of the years. The "unfairness" of the schedule is the focus of the Do Better segment along with the continued idea of Sam Darnold having to live up to higher expectations. Better at Life honors go out to Dr. Bobby Wagner and an example of how Seahawks fans have an impact on each other outside of football. Support the show Get in the Flock!

Seahawks 2026 Schedule: Primetime Gauntlet, NFC East Run and Super Bowl Practice
The 2026 NFL Schedule was released on Thursday and we're taking a week-to-week look at the Seattle Seahawks opponents this year. Can the Seahawks get out to a fast start on their road to back-to-back titles? The season kicks off against the New England Patriots in a rematch of the Super Bowl before heading out on early road trips to Arizona and Washington. They have a stretch of prime time matchups against the Denver Broncos (Thursday), Kansas City Chiefs (Sunday), and Chicago Bears (Monday). Later in the season, we discuss three straight matchups against NFC East opponents before closing out with two of the final three games against the Los Angeles Rams. The Seahawks and Rams are the only two division rivals in the entire league who face each other twice in the final weeks of the season. We get into the pros and cons of leaving those games for the end of the season. Support the show Get in the Flock!

Seahawks Repeat: Ways They're Stronger and Where They Fall Short
As the Seahawks look to repeat this year, there are areas where they could slip after a championship season and reasons why they might still be even more dominant. Potential downside comes from opponents adjusting to Mike Macdonald’s nickel-heavy run defense, statistical regression if Jaxon Smith-Njigba can’t repeat his production, uncertainty around first-time play caller Brian Fleury, and possible special-teams regression. The optimism centers on expanded offensive weapons (A.J. Barner, Tory Horton, Rashid Shaheed), a chance for the offensive line to jump from average to top-10 with continuity, and defensive growth as Nick Emmanwori and Byron Murphy elevate alongside other core leaders. Finally, we recognize Mike Macdonald could still continue to grow and build the defense beyond what we saw last season. Support the show Get in the Flock!

Seahawks Sign Dante Fowler, ‘Hot Take Court’ Debuts
The Seahawks have signed Dante Fowler Jr. to a one-year deal worth up to $5 million. We talk about the fit, value and expectations for a veteran replacement for Boye Mafe after the team avoided drafting the position. How does he stack up to some of the other veterans Mike Macdonald has maximized during his time in Seattle and with Baltimore, and we define “success” as steady rotational snaps with modest sack production. We take a look at some recent news stories with Rams pass rusher Jared Verse story praising Seattle’s offensive line cohesion, and review an SB Nation item quoting ex-Seahawks executive Scot McCloughan projecting rookie RB Jadarian Price over Jeremiah Love. A new segment, “Hot Take Court,” digs into an online claim that Price can’t catch. Support the show Get in the Flock!

With the Seahawks taking a running back with their first pick of the 2026 NFL Draft, we welcome Thomas Rawls back to the show to discuss Jadarian Price and what translates from college to the NFL. From pass protection and processing defensive tendencies, to winning small “crease” moments with technique and decisiveness Rawls explains why backs struggle in pass pro, why closing space matters, and how great runners adjust on the fly. He evaluates Price’s film traits—pressing the line, jump cuts, getting back north, falling forward, and blending explosiveness with consistent one-cut efficiency—while addressing how he could fit alongside current backs amid injury-related opportunity.

Seahawks Draft Spotlight: Beau Stephens Set to Replace Bradford?
As we look back to the Seattle Seahawks 2026 draft, we chracterize it as “responsible” for going out and meeting some of the biggest needs early on in the draft. Fifth-round guard Beau Stephens from Iowa, who finished second in a fan poll behind running back Jadarion Price, is a player who fans are particularly excited about. We take a look back at Stephens’ background along with his Joe Moore Award, the team's willingness to trade future capital to move up for him, and traits pulled from a long-form Iowa interview. Stephans has an intense, self-critical mindset, a preference for aggressive, leverage-based run blocking, and a belief in breaking the will of defenders he's going up against.

The Seattle Seahawks 2026 draft class gets the full recap after covering the draft from the road. From three picks at or near their original selection on Day 1 & 2 to a chaotic Day 3 trade spree that doubled this year's pick total. We talk about John Schneider’s “targeted” plan and clear themes: needs-based selections, versatile and physical defenders, and guys that have a clear Seahawks mentality. The top picks get the spotlight: Notre Dame running back Jadarian Price, TCU safety Bud Clark as a favorite for his ball skills and swagger, and Arkansas CB Julian Neal as a press-minded, willing tackler. The late-round swing to trade up for Iowa guard Beau Stevens highlights the flexibility Schneider had with his 2027 draft selections thanks to his free agency strategy this year. We close on special-teams-focused payers like Emmanuel Henderson Jr., Andre Fuller, and Michael Dansby, developmental nose tackle Devon Eastern, plus quick thoughts on how the class stacks up to recent drafts.

Before Day 2 of the 2026 NFL Draft kicks off, we are recapping Seattle’s first-round selection of running back Jadarian Price. What happened to the idea of trading down and trying to get more picks in a draft where the Seahawks only had four? Now, with only three picks left, should Seattle still trade back for more volume or package picks to move up and improve hit rates? Will this be a need-based draft where the Seahawks look to cornerback and safety? Or will they focus on the talent availalbe on offensive or defensive line? We also look back at Day 1 to critique our NFC West rivals, including Arizona’s heavy guaranteed money at running back, the Rams drafting quarterback Ty Simpson setting up some internal turmoil, and the 49ers trading back repeatedly without making a pick.

Alabama's Perfect Defensive Line Prospect for the Seahawks
We're swinging our draft lens to Tuscaloosa do discuss which Alabama prospects fit the Seahawks roster and scheme. Brent Taylor of Roll 'Bama Roll, who followed his Shaun Alexander fandom to Seattle, talks about his perspective on the departure of Kenneth Walker. We revisit last year's discussion about Jalen Milroe and Robbie Ouzts before shifting to this year's Alabama draft class. We start with a look at wide receiver Germie Bernard as a potential third-round "Swiss Army knife” who wins from the slot or outside, contributes on special teams and rarely drops passes. On the offensive line, Parker Brailsford stands out as an athletic center/guard option who could push for snaps and be a possible long-term option in case the free agent center market gets out of control. On defense, LT Overton draws mixed projection due to unclear role and inconsistent production, while nose tackle Tim Keenan III profiles as a run-stuffer with surprising disruption who could be available in the mid rounds and has the type of personality and background that the Seahawks seem to covet.

Can the Seahawks Find Their Next Elite RB in This Draft?
How does the Seahawks running back room look heading into the 2026 NFL Draft? We discuss whether the current group has enough in the way of “special” traits and annoyances of college film and highlight reels. The conversation narrows to what matters most on tape—contact balance, burst through the line, turning dead plays into gains, and using hands to defeat tackles—before landing on a shared Day 2 favorite: Nebraska’s Emmett Johnson. Johnson is praised for start-stop ability, lateral quickness, and making blocking look better than it is. Jonah Coleman earns strong support as another option, while “long speed” gets downplayed in favor of short-area burst and playmaking. Late-round sleepers surface with Wake Forest’s Damond Claiborne and Oregon’s Noah Whittington, plus quick hits on other backs and ball security. Support the show Get in the Flock!

499: Seahawks Draft Mocks and Behind the Scenes of the Super Bowl Documentary
Will the Seattle Seahawks look to add to their historic defense in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft? According to many of the draft experts, Clemson's Avieon Terrell appears to be a likely favorite. We discuss what is the appeal of the corner, but note some of the reasons why the fit may not be perfect. We look at other DB options like South Carolina’s Brandon Cisse, Tennessee’s Colton Hood, and Oregon safety Dillon Thieneman, while Clemson edge TJ Parker surfaces as a trench-minded alternative. Among the mock drafts we looked at, Notre Dame running back Jadarian Price was the lone offensive name tied to Seattle. The Seahawks may look to add to the running back room ahead of the draft, as Najee Harris has been making the rounds with several NFL teams. We also break down Jaxon Smith-Njigba’s new contract structure and cap mechanics, discuss Jake Bobo’s contract, and the implications of having multiple highly paid wide receivers. James Weiner, director of Super Bowl Champions: The 2025 Seattle Seahawks, joins the show to talk about the documentary that spans the entire championship season. The film is available to

Jaxon Smith-Njigba Snags a Record-Setting WR Contract

Jaxon Smith-Njigba Snags a Record-Setting WR Contract
The Seattle Seahawks reset the top end of the NFL wide receiver market by extending Jaxon Smith-Njigba on a four-year, $168.6 million deal, making him the highest-paid WR ever and effectively keeping him in Seattle for six more seasons. The contract structure is team-friendly early, with manageable cap hits now and a deal that could look like a bargain as the market rises. Seattle also matches Jacksonville’s two-year, $5.5 million offer sheet for restricted free agent Jake Bobo, locking in a depth piece with incentives and guarantees. The contract reduces the cap hit for Bobo in 2026 and keeps him locked in for 2027. Is Devon Witherspoon the next guy to get a new deal and could an looming ownership change be propelling deals to get done sooner than later?

Seahawks Free Agency: Josh Jones is Back, RB Added...What's Next?

Seahawks Free Agency: Josh Jones is Back, RB Added...What's Next?
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 trade for Osa Odighizuwa, and close with the idea that a trade for Maxx Crosby could still be on the table. Support the show Get in the Flock!

Free Agency Day 1: K9 Departs, Jobe and Shaheed Get Extensions

Free Agency Day 1: K9 Departs, Jobe and Shaheed Get Extensions
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 and, most notably, Josh Jobe returns on a contract that appears to be a steal for the production he provides. Between cornerback Riq Woolen and swing tackle Josh Jones, those participating in chat had a clear preference of who they'd like to see prioritized in the coming days.

Seahawks Free Agency: What's the Latest with Coby Bryant?
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, Geno Smith’s Seahawks legacy gets recognition from a Seattle columnist amid reports that he'll be cut by the Raiders at the start of free agency. Support the show Get in the Flock!

The Latest on Rashid Shaheed, a Big Trade for an NFC West Rival

The Latest on Rashid Shaheed, a Big Trade for an NFC West Rival
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 free agency, and the expectation that Drake Thomas merits a RFA tender. Finally, we close with thoughts on Kyler Murray exiting Arizona and speculation about Malik Willis as a potential Cardinals QB target. Support the show Get in the Flock!
