Which trade targets make the most sense for the Seahawks?

The Los Angeles Rams changed the NFC West arms race the moment they acquired Myles Garrett. Whether the move ultimately results in a Super Bowl or not, the message was impossible to miss. Los Angeles believes its championship window is open right now and was willing to spend premium assets to maximize it. Naturally, that […]

Reviewing Andre Fuller and his fit with the Seattle Seahawks

The Seattle Seahawks sure seem to like their big defensive backs. Nick Emmanwori, Kam Chancellor, Julian Neal, Brandon Browner, Riq Woolen, just to name a handful. With the 20th pick of the seventh round, the Seahawks landed another good-sized defensive back in Toledo’s Andre Fuller. The average draft projection for Fuller was somewhere in the […]

Should John Schneider counter the Myles Garrett trade with his own big move?

The Seattle Seahawks are reigning Super Bowl champions. I know it’s June, but this is an accurate statement and no one is stopping us from repeatedly bringing that up in introductory paragraphs. The rest of the NFL is looking to get to Seattle’s level, including the Los Angeles Rams, who engaged in an epic trilogy […]

Nolan Teasley starts Vikings tenure by signing recently waived Seahawks

The Seattle Seahawks recently lost assistant general manager Nolan Teasley to the Minnesota Vikings. With that move, it was questioned as to whether Teasley would start a Seattle to Minnesota like pipeline. Similar to the one between the Seahawks and the Carolina Panthers with their former general manager, Scott Fitterer. Well, it turns out that […]

Seahawks OTAs news: Anthony Bradford leaves practice early with minor knee injury

The Seattle Seahawks are in the middle of voluntary organized team activities (OTAs), and ESPN’s Brady Henderson was among the credentialed media allowed to observe Wednesday’s practice. The only notable injury to come out of the session was to starting right guard Anthony Bradford, who apparently dinged his knee and did not return. Better safe […]

Why it made sense for Seahawks to extend EDGE Derick Hall

With the summer doldrums of the slowest part of the NFL news cycle just ahead, the Seattle Seahawks on Wednesday formally announced the contract extension for edge rusher Derick Hall that had been widely reported on Tuesday. As fans await the details of the contract, the reaction from some fans around the league has been […]

Seattle Torrent Protect Wilgren, Murphy, Carpenter in Expansion Draft

The Torrent have made some interesting choices in the upcoming expansion process by choosing to protect Anna Wilgren, Hannah Murphy, and Alex Carpenter. Not exactly an expansion draft, the PWHL’s Expansion Roster Distribution Process is a six-phase series of very complicated (I would argue unnecessarily complicated) rules to add four new teams to the previously eight-team league, increasing the size by 50%. Because so many of the players are free agents, they couldn’t do a traditional expansion draft process, so we ended up with this. The Torrent signed Alex Carpenter and protected her, which was one of the three protection slots. The players on the roster eligible for protection are Fowards: Jenna Buglioni, Mikyla Grant-Mentis, Hannah Bilka, Alex Carpenter, Lexia Adzija, Danielle Sardachny Defenders: Cayla Barnes, Anna Wilgren Goalies: Corinne Schroeder, Hannah Murphy Everyone else is a free agent, including Hilary Knight. It’s all turmoil these days with expansion. With two more slots to go, the Torrent chose to protect defender Anna Wilgren and goalie Hannah Murphy. “Ha ha, Zaiem,” I can hear you saying now with a tinge of contempt, “you’ve made a mistake. You accidentally typed some other name instead of Hannah Bilka’s! Nice journalism and attention to detail.” If only. Yes that’s right, forward Hannah Bilka was not protected. Now, I don’t know what GM Meghan Turner is thinking here, but one thing that is of concern is that Bilka did not return to the Torrent after sustaining an undisclosed injury en route to winning gold in the Olympics in Milan. Since hockey injuries aren’t required to be disclosed and therefore never ever are, we don’t know what it was (is?). Maybe it’s serious? Maybe they are betting that she won’t get taken by an expansion team because of the injury? Or maybe it’s just an interesting decision. Hannah Murphy is not a surprising pick. She’s 22 years old and she has a lot of upside as a goalie, a position that tends to peak later in age. I also find her impossibly charming, but that was probably not a factor in the decision to keep her (probably). Defender Anna Wilgren was the third protection slot, which was the real surprise. Bilka or Barnes were the ones I was expecting, but Wilgren was a surprise. I have, however, since talked myself into it. Steve O’Rourke, the recently fired Torrent coach, spoke highly of her and I do like her 200 foot game. He talked about how she altered her game to try to make the Olympic team and it messed with her a bit, but as the season went on, she got better and better. Anna Wilgren being protected by the Seattle Torrent is probably the one decision that stands out as a surprise to most.My mind immediately went back to the postgame after her 3-point game vs. Minnesota. O'Rourke is obviously gone, but it shows how the org feels about her. pic.twitter.com/EMlQuiKX2B— Kyle Cushman (@Kyle_Cush) June 3, 2026 And so we march on with this overwrought expansion process. Where were you when we moved from Phase 1 to Phase 2?

The undrafted rookie trying to crack the Seahawks’ deepest position group

The Seattle Seahawks’ defensive line was one of the driving forces behind their Super Bowl championship run. With Leonard Williams playing at an All-Pro level, Byron Murphy II taking a major developmental leap, and a deep rotation producing throughout the season, defensive tackle was hardly viewed as an urgent need entering the offseason. Yet Seattle […]
