Seattle Seahawks 2024 NFL Combine interview tracker: Who Seattle is talking to
By Lee Vowell
Seattle Seahawks general manager John Schneider is making the rounds at the NFL combine and meeting with players he might want to take early in the 2024 NFL draft. This has to be a fun time for Schneider as for the first time he is in full control over the team's roster. Before this year, former head coach Pete Carroll had the final say over roster moves.
This means Schneider can pick whomever he chooses in the first round, or well...anywhere else in the draft. He only has to answer to himself as far as putting the team together. If the team fails because of on-field decisions, 12s can blame Mike Macdonald. If the team has a fantastic roster, 12s can credit Schneider.
While speaking to players at the NFL Combine does not mean the team will choose that player if they are available in the draft it does, of course, mean that team is interested in the player. The hope for the players is that they do not say anything mindlessly during a team interview. In other words, let's hope the player is a lot more like you, dear reader, than me.
