Seattle Seahawks

The Seahawks were expected to be a competitive football team in 2025, but it's doubtful even their most optimistic fans saw this squad setting a new franchise record for regular-season wins and then hoisting a Lombardi Trophy. Throw in an NFL-best +191 point differential, weekly fireworks from Offensive Player of the Year Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and one of the best defenses in recent memory—and you had anyone's idea of an elite professional football team.

Seattle doesn't have many roster holes to worry about this offseason, despite having the fourth-most cap space to work with in the league! Things will be tougher with a first-place schedule to deal with, though the Seahawks look a lot like a potential preseason Super Bowl favorite entering 2026.

Secondary: Each of their only three free agents to play at least 70% of the team's snaps last season in the secondary — Coby Bryant, Josh Jobe and Tariq Woolen — are unrestricted free agents. Simply bringing back all parties involved might just do the trick.

Wide Receiver: The Seahawks are one of just nine teams with a pass-catcher budget under $30 million for next season when also factoring tight ends into the equation. Getting more out of this group behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba will be paramount to keeping the good version of Sam Darnold around for as long as possible.

Interior Offensive Line: If we've learned anything about Darnold over the years, it's that interior pressure can turn him back into a pumpkin quicker than anything. Getting stronger up the middle should be a yearly priority.
