Seahawks | Marshawn Lynch fined Tue Jul 29, 06:44 PM
Seattle Seahawks RB Marshawn Lynch has been fined $275,000 for missing his sixth straight day of training camp, per collective bargaining agreement rules.
| Footballguys view: Lynch is getting some real bad advice here. He's got little leverage in the situation, and it seems like the Seahawks are not going to budge. We can't imagine Lynch getting the raise he wants, but there's no end to this holdout in sight. |

Seahawks | Eric Winston provides depth Tue Jul 29, 01:38 PM
Seattle Seahawks OT Eric Winston has played most of his career at right tackle, so his signing may mean the team isn't happy with OT Justin Britt, who has received all of the first-team snaps in training camp. OT Michael Bowie (shoulder), who was expected to compete for the starting job, is out due to injury. Britt has looked good in run blocking but has struggled with pass blocking.

Seahawks | Terrell Thomas agrees to terms Mon Jul 28, 05:33 PM
The Seattle Seahawks have agreed to terms with free-agent CB Terrell Thomas (Giants). Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: The Seahawks are the franchise of second (and third and fourth) chances, so this could be a very savvy move in hindsight. Thomas suffered multiple torn ACLs and his career stalled out with the Giants, but he has the hard-nosed approach to playing in the secondary that the Seahawks value. |

| Footballguys view: The Seahawks need to be cautious here. Michael is the lead back while Marshawn Lynch is holding out. He was banged up quite a bit in college at Texas A&M, but Michael is a starter-caliber player when healthy. |

Seattle Seahawks DE Bruce Irvin (hip) was placed on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list Friday, July 25.
| Footballguys view: Irvin may not even be ready for Week 1. That means the linebacker corps could consist of Bobby Wagner, K.J. Wright, and Malcolm Smith. While the defense effectively rotated players in and out, Irvin is a big enough factor where losing him may be an issue early in the season. |

Seattle Seahawks S Eric Pinkins (Lisfranc) suffered a Lisfranc injury, and is expected to miss up to six weeks, according to head coach Pete Carroll.

Seahawks | Big stalemate in Marshawn Lynch talks Thu Jul 24, 07:51 PM
Updating a previous story, Seattle Seahawks RB Marshawn Lynch and the organization are at a stalemate in talks regarding a new deal. Lynch wants top-three money for the position, while team officials are unwilling to give him a new deal, believing he is paid adequately. Lynch showed up for minicamp workouts only to avoid being fined.
| Footballguys view: Currently Lynch ranks 7th in the NFL for average annual salary of running backs at $7.5 million. In order to get into top-3 money, Lynch would need an average annual salary around $9 million. It's not that big of a leap for Seattle, but they seem unwilling to commit that much financially at this time. |
Seahawks | Marshawn Lynch holding out Thu Jul 24, 07:06 PM
Seattle Seahawks RB Marshawn Lynch will hold out of training camp, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Uh oh. The Seahawks have been spending most of this offseason praising backup Christine Michael, and now they will go with him as the lead back while Lynch is out. Lynch is scheduled to make $5.5 million, which is a fair salary considering his age and mileage. We doubt the Seahawks act quickly the way the Chiefs did when Jamaal Charles was going to hold out. Michael's ADP is likely to rise with this news. |

Seahawks | Sidney Rice retires Wed Jul 23, 03:52 PM
Seattle Seahawks WR Sidney Rice has decided to retire, according to a league source. Rice has decided to retire due to a history of concussions.
| Footballguys view: Rice has reportedly decide to retire because of a history with concussions. He was also trying to work his way back from a torn ACL suffered last year too. At only 27 years old, Rice has missed a total of 31 games in seven years in the NFL. His best season was 2009, when he caught 83 passes for 1,312 yards and eight touchdowns for the Vikings. |

Seahawks | Spencer Ware's DUI case dismissed Mon Jul 21, 10:03 PM
Seattle Seahawks FB Spencer Ware's DUI case was dismissed Monday, July 21, according to the King County prosecutor's office.
| Footballguys view: Ware is an interesting talent to monitor in super deep dynasty leagues. He's a good runner and receiver out of the backfield who can play fullback or running back. |

Seahawks | Christine Michael doing well Sun Jul 20, 04:22 PM
Seattle Seahawks RB Christine Michael's work this spring has done nothing to dismiss the thought that he will receive regular carries this season.
| Footballguys view: Michael is a potential stud as a future starter for the Seahawks. If healthy, he has jackhammers for legs, a great initial burst and the vision/athleticism to create his own space. Michael will work as the primary backup behind Marshawn Lynch this year. If Lynch gets banged up and has to miss time, Michael is the guy to take over as the team's starter. Fantasy owners who are into handcuffing their first-round RB should look to Michael. His current ADP is RB43 (10.02) in 12-team PPR leagues. |

Seattle QBs Terrelle Pryor and B.J. Daniels will compete for the No. 3 quarterback job during training camp. Pryor is expected to have the edge because of his size and speed.
| Footballguys view: Pryor failed to consistently play up to his potential with the Raiders, and he's found a fresh start with the World Champions. He has to be considered the favorite here, but Daniels also shares the qualities of athleticism and arm strength that Pryor has. We'll see this battle unfold in training camp. Fantasy owners in super deep dynasty leagues should still be paying attention to Pryor. |

Seahawks | Marshawn Lynch likely to see bulk of load Thu Jul 17, 10:07 AM
Seattle Seahawks RB Marshawn Lynch, who averaged 18.8 carries game last season, is expected to be scaled back some this year. However, he's still expected to receive 15 or 16 carries per game with RB Christine Michael filling in at times.
| Footballguys view: This is how Seattle got to the Super Bowl last year. They lean on Lynch and let him soften up opposing defenses. Michael is the handcuff for Lynch, and he's got starter's ability if he were to ever get a shot as a full-time back. Lynch has a current ADP of RB8 (2.03) while Michael is RB43 (10.01) in 12-team PPR leagues. |

Seahawks | Bobby Wagner believes team is better Tue Jul 15, 06:30 PM
Seattle Seahawks LB Bobby Wagner said Tuesday, July 15 he thinks the team has gotten way better this year, mainly because of how young they are.
| Footballguys view: The Seahawks will have to overcome the loss of Golden Tate (Lions) on offense and the loss of Chris Clemons (Jaguars) on defense. We'll see how well they defend their title this year. The Seahawks or the 49ers are arguably the best teams in the NFL today. |

Seahawks | Bobby Wagner thought Broncos were intimidated Tue Jul 15, 04:26 PM
Seattle Seahawks LB Bobby Wagner said he thought the Denver Broncos were intimidated of the team's defense during the Super Bowl. 'They looked scared out there,' Wagner said of the Broncos. 'Nobody wanted to catch the ball. Nobody wanted to come up the middle,' Wagner said.
| Footballguys view: Wagner has his opinion, and the Broncos were certainly outplayed in every facet of the Super Bowl. We think it's ridiculous to call a team "scared" and players like Terrance Knighton have already reacted to this statement. The two teams play each other in the preseason, but also early in the regular season. We could see a rematch of the Super Bowl this year if Seattle and Denver can get back to the big game. |

Seahawks | Percy Harvin open to returning punts Mon Jul 14, 04:59 PM
Seattle Seahawks WR Percy Harvin said this offseason that he is open to competing for the punt return job even though he does not have much experience in the role. Harvin is expected to be the team's main kick returner.
| Footballguys view: Harvin is a dangerous return man, and he's a threat to score anytime he touches the ball. Injuries are a concern with Harvin as he seems to be constantly banged up. That's the only thing that would keep him off the field as a return man in 2014. |
