Seahawks | More surgery for Doug Baldwin Wed Mar 20, 03:27 PM
Seattle Seahawks WR Doug Baldwin (hernia) said he will have more surgeries this offseason to fix what is believed to be a sports hernia. Surgery is scheduled for early April, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Baldwin's production was held back by multiple nagging injuries in 2018. Seahawks coach Pete Carroll revealed Baldwin underwent knee and shoulder surgeries after the season. This makes another surgery for the veteran receiver. He'll miss all of the offseason work for the Seahawks and should be eased into training camp at some point in the summer. |

Free-agent WR Jordy Nelson (Raiders) is visiting the Seattle Seahawks Monday, March 18.
| Footballguys view: Nelson was released only a few days ago yet seems to be drawing plenty of interest on the open market. He's not the player he used to be, but Nelson could work nicely as a no.3 wideout in Seattle behind Doug Baldwin and Tyler Lockett. |

Seahawks | Russell Wilson contract talks ongoing Sun Mar 17, 12:45 PM
Seattle Seahawks QB Russell Wilson told late-night talk show host Jimmy Fallon on Friday, March 15, that there's 'great potential' for Wilson to eventually become the highest-paid player in NFL history. Meanwhile, Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll has said this offseason that negotiations are 'ongoing' with Wilson, whose contract expires after the 2019 season.
| Footballguys view: The Seahawks will have to make Wilson one of the highest paid quarterbacks in the league eventually. Players like him, at 30-years old, do not hit the open market. We'll see if these talks can go from 'ongoing' to 'done' at some point during the summer. |

| Footballguys view: A second-round pick out of Michigan in the 2015 NFL draft, Clark has 32 sacks over the past three seasons. After a career-high 13-sack season in 2018, this tag was a no-brainer for the Seahawks. |

Seahawks | Russell Wilson a proven winner Sun Feb 24, 11:00 PM
Seattle Seahawks QB Russell Wilson became the first quarterback in NFL history to post a winning record in each of his first seven NFL seasons.
| Footballguys view: Seattle will be in a playoff window so long as Wilson is their quarterback. They've undergone some changes offensively and want to run the ball early and often, but Wilson is the key to what they do. |

Seahawks | Rashaad Penny to lead backfield? Fri Feb 15, 10:33 PM
Seattle Seahawks RB Rashaad Penny will take 'control of the backfield' during spring and summer workouts, in the opinion of Dan Graziano of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: We'll see if that happens because Penny, a first-round pick in 2018, should have done that last season. Instead, Chris Carson emerged as the primary back for the Seahawks. Penny has the talent, and Seattle wants to run the ball a lot, so we'll see this battle shake out during training camp. Stay tuned. |

Seahawks | Barkevious Mingo may not return Thu Jan 31, 05:24 PM
Seattle Seahawks LB Barkevious Mingo could be on the roster bubble this offseason because the team would save $3.3 million in salary cap space if Mingo is released.

Seattle Seahawks impending free-agent DE Frank Clark may be a candidate for the franchise tag this offseason, in the opinion of The Seattle Times' Bob Condotta. Clark likely will look for a long-term contract this offseason.
| Footballguys view: Clark can basically name his price tag after an outstanding season. The Seahawks need to either sign him or tag him, any other choice is malpractice. |

Seattle Seahawks impending free-agent OG D.J. Fluker and OG J.R. Sweezy are two players that the Seahawks want to re-sign this offseason.

Seattle Seahawks WR Amara Darboh (shoulder) 'looks great,' head coach Pete Carroll said in his end-of-season news conference, and Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times believes Darboh will have another chance to make the 53-man roster in 2019.
| Footballguys view: A third-round pick in the 2017 NFL draft, Darboh missed all of the 2018 season. He was put on Injured Reserve back in September due to a knee injury that required surgery. AS a rookie in 2017, Darboh played less than 200 snaps in 16 games, catching only 8 passes for 71 yards. Dynasty GMs in deeper leagues might still be holding onto him but his stock is not high at this time. |

Seahawks | Seattle signs Paxton Lynch Thu Jan 17, 04:23 PM
Free-agent QB Paxton Lynch (Broncos) was signed to an undisclosed deal by the Seattle Seahawks Thursday, Jan. 17.
| Footballguys view: Lynch was a bust with the Broncos of epic proportions. A first-round pick in 2016, Lynch never could earn the starting job in Denver over backup-caliber QB Trevor Siemian. Lynch was out of football for the 2018 season but did workout for several teams. He'll get a chance to compete for the backup spot to Russell Wilson in 2019. |

Seattle Seahawks QB Russell Wilson will attend spring training with the New York Yankees for the second straight year, his MLB agent Mark Rodgers said Thursday, Jan. 10.
| Footballguys view: Nothing to see here people. Wilson has attended spring training before and doesn't miss any football time because of it. Back in 2010, Wilson was drafted by the Colorado Rockies in the fourth round (140th pick overall) of the 2010 MLB draft. His rights were traded to the Yankees last year and he attended spring training in 2018. |

Seahawks | Doug Baldwin expected back Mon Jan 7, 07:48 PM
Seattle Seahawks WR Doug Baldwin likely will be back with the Seahawks next season even though he dealt with multiple injuries in 2018.
| Footballguys view: Baldwin is under contract through the 2020 season. He's got great chemistry with QB Russell Wilson and just needs to stay healthy to produce. In 13 games this season, Baldwin had his lowest catch total (50) since 2013. If healthy, Baldwin is a key starter for Seattle and a WR2 with upside for Fantasy GMs. |
