Keith Patterson has known Jordyn Brooks for barely a year. But he had plenty of stories to tell when NFL teams called to ask about the player who became Texas Tech's star last fall.

So was there really any significance when Jarran Reed tweeted he was going back to his old No. 90? The way GM John Schneider portrayed it, it was much ado about nothing.

If drafting Texas Tech linebacker Jordyn Brooks in the first round of the NFL draft last week caught many observers off guard, it makes a little more sense after Seahawks general manager John Schneider revealed Thursday that veteran linebacker K.J. Wright recently had shoulder surgery. Schneider said in an interview with KJR-AM 950’s Dave Mahler […]

Carroll on Thursday found a way to liven things up calling in an old friend — Will Ferrell — to make a special appearance, as the team revealed Thursday night on its Twitter account.

The draft may be over and free agency largely done. But questions about the Seahawks and the upcoming season never end.

The Seahawks announced the signings of five rookie undrafted free agents Friday, including former Washington State quarterback Anthony Gordon and ex-Washington receiver Aaron Fuller.

None was a surprise, as all five were among the undrafted free agents […]

Greg Olsen’s days currently consist of waking up in his permanent home in Charlotte and heading to an office about five minutes away to spend his afternoon zooming in to virtual meetings with the Seahawks.

In his first public comments since the end of last season, free agent defensive end Jadeveon Clowney said in a TV interview he has not ruled out that he could still return to the Seahawks.

Timing has not been on Cam Newton's side throughout his free agency. Recent speculation has connected Newton and the Seahawks, who are still in need of a backup quarterback behind Russell Wilson.

Earl Thomas was not arrested in the incident, TMZ reported. Nina Thomas, according to the report, was arrested for burglary of a residence with intent to commit aggravated assault. She was released on bond.

Seattle will play four prime-time games for the eighth consecutive year (and could get the maximum five later if one is flexed), including its home opener Sept. 20 against the Patriots on "Sunday Night Football."

So we finally have dates, times and TV designations to go along with the team names on the Seahawks’ regular-season schedule for 2020. It’s a slate of games that, if you’re a believer in strength of schedule based on opponents’ win-loss percentage in 2019, is one of the tougher in the league — and lots […]

Okay, so trying to predict what may happen in a full slate of NFL games — the first of which isn’t scheduled to kick off for at least four months — may seem like an exercise futility. Betting on any of those games may be even more of a foolish endeavor. But if you really […]
