The Seahawks have all the major factors in their favor in 2026 and beyond.

Did he play his final down in Seattle?

A Seattle Seahawks superstar went in on his own general manager over a contract dispute during Super Bowl parade.

Sam Darnold thanked the Seahawks for believing in him as the team celebrated its Super Bowl LX championship at Lumen Field.

According to sports television insider John Ourand, the Hawks could open up the 2026 campaign on a Wednesday night instead of the traditional Thursday spot given to the reigning champion. That could impact the Seattle Mariners. Per Sports Media Watch on social media:

It’s not often that a football team walks away from its first drive knowing that the game is already in the palm of their hands, but that’s exactly what the Seattle Seahawks defense managed to achieve against the New England Patriots at Super Bowl LX.

Karl Scott is one of the top assistant coaches for the Seattle Seahawks. He could stay another to continue developing his impressive resume and wait for a better job.

The Seattle Seahawks didn't necessarily need to make a defensive coaching staff change, but they made one anyway.
