Seattle got off to a hot start in 2023, with a 6-3 record heading into Week 11’s game against the Rams. The Hawks’ season spiraled due to injuries to key players, including Geno Smith, Kenneth Walker III and Devon Witherspoon. A four-game losing streak loomed over the team, sending Seattle to a 6-7 record. The team had a chance for a wildcard spot after winning two in a row – a loss to the Steelers in Week 17 crushed their slim aspirations. 2023 was also Pete Carroll’s final season as coach, as he switched to an advisory role within the organization.

Former Ravens defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald was hired to replace Carroll as head coach. Three big names were released from Seattle: Jamal Adams, Quandre Diggs and Will Dissly. Despite cutting ties with these players, the Hawks restructured Geno’s contract while resigning Leonard Williams and Noah Fant.

Veteran linebacker Bobby Wagner departed and signed with the Commanders. As a result of Wagner’s exit, Jerome Baker and Tyrel Dodson were signed as depth was lacking at linebacker. Quarterback Sam Howell arrived in a trade with the Commanders along with a fourth and a sixth-round pick in 2024’s draft – Seattle sent Washington a third and a fifth-round selection.

2024’s draft saw Byron Murphy III land in Seattle 16th overall to expand an already bolstered defensive line. Murphy owned a 12% pressure rate, the best defensive tackles in 2023. UConn’s Christian Haynes is a potential starter, as the need for an interior offensive lineman is still evident.

The schedule is favorable, as the Seahawks own the NFL’s seventh-easiest slate, tied with the Cardinals and Dolphins. Multiple games can go in Seattle’s favor, including the Broncos, Patriots, Giants, Rams and Bears. Nothing comes easy as the 49ers, Lions, Dolphins, Bills, Jets and Packers highlight 2024’s lineup.

It’s tough to tell if Seattle can redeem themselves after 2023’s late-season collapse – there’s a good chance if Howell produces and the defense holds up. They won’t win the NFC West as the 49ers loom over the division, but the Hawks can be a playoff hopeful due to the schedule being in their favor.
