The Seattle Seahawks have one major question mark on offense entering this season. That question mark revolves around the team's starting quarterback situation as nobody knows yet who will be the starter. What the Seahawks do know however, is that they ...  

Green Bay invested heavily in the draft in building up this group of pass ... in the off-season and pre-season. The Packers and Seahawks receivers aren't physically similar but Seattle has built up quite a core of potential but nothing much ...  

He is considered one of the greatest offensive tackles in NFL history and was recognized by John Madden once as being the best player in the NFL in a particular season. Jones made nine Pro Bowls and seven All-Pro selections, as well as making ...  

One could argue such undervaluation contributed to Doug Baldwin dropping out of the draft, though he would undoubtedly would have been drafted had any NFL team figured on him being this good a slot receiver. This is getting to be pretty common ...  

RENTON, Wash. -- At 5-foot-10 5/8, former Wisconsin and current Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson has one obvious "handicap" in the way of his eventual NFL success, and very little else impeding his progress. The man who led the NCAA … Continue reading →  

RENTON, Wash. -- The news first hit when Seattle Seahawks head Pete Carroll revealed it during Seattle's first post-draft practice session of the new NFL season. Guard Deuce Lutui, who played for Carroll at USC and started 72 games for … Continue reading →  

The Seattle Seahawks have expressed nothing but satisfaction with the way things are turning out at the rookie mini-camp being held over the weekend of May 11-13. The first day saw the focus on the newest quarterback to join the Seahawks, former Wisconsin Badger Russell Wilson.  

The Seattle Seahawks are working toward their 2012 season opener, and hopefully an NFC West title with a strong playoff run to follow. The Seahawks could give your mother an appearance by the team in the Super Bowl, but you can't. Here's a look at five great gift suggestions for your mom that you can get for her. Remember, Mother's Day 2012 is Sunday, May 13.  

The Seattle Seahawks apparently do not have a defined plan at quarterback. Or, if they do, Pete Carroll is not telling us what it is right now. According to reports, Russell Wilson is now in the mix. When the Wisconsin quarterback was drafted in the third round of the 2012 NFL Draft, many analysts scratched their heads and wondered why the Hawks would add a fourth quarterback. Carroll is apparently in no rush to make a decision, unless this is...  

The early word out of Seattle is that the Seahawks believe they doubled their pleasure with their new Utah State connection — second-round LB Bobby Wagner and fourth-round RB Robert Turbin. Wagner was often referred to as “a tackling machine” at Utah State, where he started all four seasons and played all three LB positions. He might not be quite on a par with Boston College ILB Luke Kuechly, who ended up being a top-10 pick by the Panthers...  

The Seattle Seahawks made an interesting move on May 21, acquiring TE Kellen Winslow from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Winslow has not missed a game in three years, and last season he had 75 catches for 763 yards and two touchdowns. Kellen is a big body at 6'4" and 240 pounds, and he represents a veteran target to go with current Seahawks TE Zach Miller. Winslow has had a number of injuries and surgeries during his career, but if healthy he could...  

If the Seattle Seahawks intend to install a passing game package that addresses the height issues of rookie quarterback Russell Wilson, who measured only 5-feet-10 5/8 at the combine in February, it wasn't evident at the team's rookie camp last weekend.  

Any website can post "offseason grades" for NFL teams, mixing the draft and free agency into transaction soup, then straining it through the mind of some sportswriter who doesn't know who half the players are. Only the Shutdown Corner has the resources to get actual players, coaches, and executives from each team to evaluate their own offseasons! That's right: over the next few weeks, you will get transaction evaluations straight from the...  

RENTON, Wash. (AP) Even with picking up Matt Flynn in free agency, the Seattle Seahawks decided to add another quarterback to their roster by drafting Wisconsin's Russell Wilson with the 75th overall pick in the third round of the NFL draft on Friday night.  

I am a bit confused by the third round pick of the Seattle Seahawks. With the 75th overall pick, the Hawks selected quarterback Russell Wilson from Wisconsin. The pick itself wouldn't be terrible if Seattle was in the market for a late-round development project. However, this is an odd move considering the current roster situation. The Seahawks already generated a lot of buzz with their first-round pick of Bruce Irvin. Now, analysts are...  

As I sat excitedly in front of my computer screen on April 26, watching the 2012 NFL Draft unfold over Twitter, I couldn't wait to see who the Seattle Seahawks were going to select at No. 15. South Carolina DE Melvin Ingram was still there, and I was certain that he was going to be the next member of my favorite team.  

Mountlake Terrace's Josh Fitch slides by Meadowdale catcher Brian Marty, scoring one of the Hawks' five runs in the sixth inning. LYNNWOOD -- The 3A District 1 playoff baseball game between the Meadowdale Mavericks and Mountlake Terrace Hawks was, in every way, anybody's game.  

Mike Holmgren enjoys pain. This is the only explanation for why he continues to talk about the Browns’ draft so candidly. The Browns had a glaring need at wide receiver that wasn’t addressed until the fourth round, meaning it essentially wasn’t addressed at all. They had three of the first 37 picks, yet Holmgren and [...]  

Our own Kris Willis, SB Nation Atlanta editor and Peachtree Hoops head blogger, broke down his reaction to the Hawks ' surprising Game 5 win against the Celtics , and the return - and subsequent marathon of 41 minutes played - by Al Horford made the difference for the Hawks : Al Horford was simply amazing and showed just how much this team missed him this season. When I wrote the update about ...  

The official NFL schedule has yet to be released, but the Seattle Seahawks do know the teams that they will be playing in 2012. Obviously there are a lot of factors that will impact the ability to win games. This includes the actual date of the game, weather, roster moves in the...  

The Seattle Seahawks obviously want to make national headlines, but they would rather do it by winning games on the field. They reportedly had an opportunity to be featured on the HBO show, "Hard Knocks" for the upcoming season. However, Seattle decided that this was an opportunity that they could afford to pass up. From a fan's perspective, I think it was the right move to turn down HBO.  

Seahawks OT Allen Barbre has been suspended four games for a violation of the NFL’s policy on performance-enhancing drugs, multiple media outlets reported Wednesday. He will have to serve that suspension during the first four weeks of the 2012 regular season. Howard Balzer of The Sports Xchange first reported that Barbre had been suspended.Barbre, set to enter his sixth season in the NFL, has played in 32 career games, with seven starts. He...  

It’s not difficult to see why so many mock drafts, including the latest from PFW draft maven Nolan Nawrocki, are predicting that the Seahawks will select Boston College LB Luke Kuechly with their first pick (12th overall) this year. With David Hawthorne, the team’s leading tackler each of the last three seasons, having signed with the Saints, Seattle’s biggest need appears to be a new starting middle linebacker to replace him. ...  

The Seattle Seahawks are continuing to make moves that are not necessarily flashy. However, they are potentially important signings because they add depth to a squad that is strong in a lot of areas. One deal in particular has the potential to be solid pickup for the Hawks, though health will be an issue. Granted, health is always an issue, isn't it?

BROOKLYN, N.Y. -- Second-year Seattle Seahawks safety Kam Chancellor saw a rise in efficiency along with the rest of a young Seahawks defense in 2011, and he's very excited to be going forward with the team's very different uniforms. Most NFL teams saw their Nike redesigns in more of a cosmetic sense, with the Seahawks as the only team with a drastic change in design. "I'm ready to play right now," Chancellor said from Tuesday's uniform...  

Five years ago, Bruce Irvin was arrested for breaking into a drug dealer's house and spent two weeks in prison. Last month, he was accused of knocking over a magnetic sign that was sitting atop a Pita Pit delivery car and was arrested again. On Thursday night, he became a first-round pick in the NFL draft. The Seattle Seahawks sprung the first major surprise of 2012 when they selected the West Virginia linebacker with the No. 15 pick. No...  

The 2012 NFL Draft is taking place Thursday, April 26, and it can't come a day too soon in this fan's opinion. The hysteria over the draft and the dozens of mock drafts out there can get a bit much. The bottom line is, predicting the NFL Draft is only slightly more scientific than predicting the future using cards or tea leaves.  

The new uniforms for the Seattle Seahawks have finally been released. As was rumored, there are some changes, but few seemed to realize that the Hawks would be the most revamped uniform in the NFL. As with any design change, there are some elements that strike you as cool, while...  

BELLEVUE, Wash. -- In many ways, Ben Schneider is like any other 10-year-old boy -- he loves to play video games, has a great interest in Legos, and the room lights up when he laughs. But the son of Seattle Seahawks general manager John Schneider and his wife Traci has been living with autism his entire life, and that's added both complications and a new level of love to the process of raising their son. The Schneiders first noticed...  

After months of hype and a flurry of rumors that promised a logo and jersey revolution, Nike's new NFL uniforms pretty much look the same as Reebok's. [ Photos: See the new NFL uniforms ] With the exception of the Seattle Seahawks' major overhaul, each of the 31 other NFL teams retained the same design for their 2012 uniforms, the first to be designed by the Oregon-based apparel giant. Nike made some slight changes to the collars of a...  

There are rumors that the Seattle Seahawks are slated to get new uniforms when Nike releases the new design on April 3. In the meantime, the hype machine is in full effect and there are various logos and color schemes that may have been "leaked" through promos, video...  

The Seattle Seahawks may use the first two rounds of the 2012 NFL Draft to improve their defense. At least that is what ESPN's Mel Kiper is projecting in his latest mock draft. He has the team selecting North Carolina defensive end Quinton Coples in the first round and then taking Oklahoma linebacker Ronnell Lewis in the second round. This would certainly improve the Seahawks' defense right away, especially if both players pan out at the...  

The Seattle Seahawks officially need a new linebacker after David Hawthorne signed a five-year contract with the Saints. After signing key free agents such as Marshawn Lynch and Red Bryant, Hawthorne represented the Hawks biggest name that had not yet been signed.  

The 2012 NFL Draft is just a few days away and the Seattle Seahawks have the 12th pick. Every media outlet has their mock draft going and there is mixed speculation on how the Hawks might pick. There are obviously a few different directions that Seattle could go, but some are...  

The Seattle Seahawks have an interesting quarterback situation, and they are definitely in a time of transition that may or may not be resolved this season. A recent poll found that fans are clearly in favor of seeing Matt Flynn under center. Interestingly, current starter Tarvaris Jackson is actually trailing "Whoever puts in the work and wins the job." Who will get the nod when the season begins?  

The Seattle Seahawks went through the 2012 NFL Draft and surprised almost everyone. About the only persons who weren't caught off guard with the picks were the people involved in making the choices. Pretty much everyone else scratched their head at one point or another.  

The news that Junior Seau was found dead May 2 of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound shocked football fans around the country, no matter what team they supported. The longtime linebacker for the San Diego Chargers was often a thorn in the side of opposition game plans, but was almost universally respected.  

The Seattle Seahawks stocked up on draft choices by making a couple of deals and they picked up 10 players in the 2012 NFL Draft. There were a couple of offensive selections, but they consisted of a backup running back and a third-string quarterback. Other than that, the Hawks went with all defensive selections, and made a strong statement about their priorities for 2012. Was this a good strategy?
