This is how the Seahawks should approach the offseason

There are a handful of areas that need to be addressed by the Seahawks. Fortunately, Seattle is plush in cap space with $68 million and have 9 draft picks.

The Seahawks feel like they are on the cuff of something great once again. It’s the 2012 season all over again. Sure, the Seahawks lost in Green Bay, and it definitely felt like a gut punch. However, for many fans and experts, this was how Seattle was expected to go.

The Seahawks finished the regular season with an 11-5 record and won on the road in Philadelphia despite many key injuries. Seattle played with its 3rd string left guard, backup center, 4th string running back, 3rd string tight end, 3rd string defensive tackle, 2nd string defensive end and 2nd string linebacker. This isn’t even mentioning the handful of players who were playing through severe pain/injuries. Jadeveon Clowney has a core injury and will likely need surgery, Duane Brown played just 20 days after having surgery, Quandre Diggs and Jarran Reed mustered through high ankle sprains.

All in all, the odds were heavily stacked against Seattle. If you told me before the season that the divisional playoff game against a healthy Green Bay squad would reside on mostly 2nd and 3rd stringers, I would have been astonished with the Seahawks losing by just 5 points. Seattle showed a lot of grit and determination. That for one has me proud to be a Seahawk fan and excited for the future.

With all this being said, it’s time to turn to the next stage, the offseason retooling for the 2020-2021 campaign. There are a handful of areas that need to be addressed, fortunately Seattle is plush in cap space with $68 million. They also has 9 draft picks (including 3 in the first 2 rounds) which is more than enough to continue the influx of young talent. The next handful of slides go through how the Seahawks should approach the offseason.
