We’re in the quiet part of the NFL offseason. Unfortunately, for the third time over the past four seasons, the Seattle Seahawks’ offseason started immediately after their regular season finale.
This has been one hell of an eventful past few months for the Seahawks. Offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb was fired, Klint Kubiak and several offensive assistants were brought on board, Geno Smith and DK Metcalf were traded, Tyler Lockett was released, Ernest Jones and Jarran Reed were re-signed, Sam Darnold, Cooper Kupp, and DeMarcus Lawrence signed in free agency… and that’s before we even got to the NFL Draft! Just look at this draft class, which included Grey Zabel at No. 18 overall and Jalen Milroe in the third round!
For this weekend’s discussion, we’re zeroing in on your favorite move of the Seahawks offseason. I know I’ve been stringent on limiting you to one answer over the last couple of open threads but that’s not happening here. It’s impractical to limit you to one offseason move when so many answers could be interconnected (e.g. trading Geno led to signing Darnold). I’m very happy with not just the Ernest Jones IV re-sign, but the comparative bargain of a deal it turned out to be. I didn’t want to head into the draft with starting linebacker as a glaring need in a weak LB class. This was a great piece of business from John Schneider. I also love that they didn’t overthink it and addressed offensive line early in the draft by taking Grey Zabel. My preference was for Ohio State’s Donovan Jackson but Zabel was held in higher regard to begin with, so mission accomplished as far as I’m concerned.
Have at it! Scroll down to the comments and tell us what you’ve liked about Seattle’s offseason! The entire window from Grubb’s departure until right now is fair game.
