Seahawks | Visit with Cody Latimer Thu Apr 17, 12:05 PM
The Seattle Seahawks visited with Indiana WR Cody Latimer Tuesday, April 15. Latimer's stock is rising, and he's projected as a late first-round pick or early second-round selection.
| Footballguys view: Late first/early second seems a tad high for a guy who seems to lack a true extra gear to get away from defenders and doesn't run precise routes. On the other hand, he's got a decent combination of overall speed and good size, along with soft hands, so grabbing him as a late-second/early third makes sense. The Seahawks need a new receiver to replace the departed Golden Tate. |
Seahawks | Sidney Rice returning Wed Apr 16, 07:55 PM
The Seattle Seahawks are re-signing WR Sidney Rice to an undisclosed one-year deal Wednesday, April 16, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: The Seahawks lost Golden Tate in free agency earlier this year, and they needed help at the position. Rice needs to stay healthy in order to play up to his potential. That's been a problem for him during his time in Seattle. He knows the system and this is his best fit. |

Seahawks | Ricardo Lockette being investigated Thu Apr 10, 01:09 PM
Seattle Seahawks WR Ricardo Lockette is part of an investigation by the Miami police involving an alleged sexual assault.
| Footballguys view: Along with Quinton Patton and Colin Kaepernick of the San Francisco 49ers, Lockette was at a gathering where the alleged incident occurred. Regardless of the outcome of the investigation, reports that marijuana was being used could get the league investigating on it's own. |

Seahawks | Terrance West to visit Mon Apr 7, 11:44 PM
The Seattle Seahawks have scheduled a visit with Towson RB Terrance West.
| Footballguys view: The Seahawks already have one of the strongest groups of running backs in the league. Adding West would only make them stronger. Like Robert Turbin and Christine Michael, West has the size to pound it between the tackles. He's likely a second- or third-round pick. |
Seahawks | Earl Thomas could get extension Mon Apr 7, 02:48 AM
Seattle Seahawks FS Earl Thomas is considered a top priority to get secured for the 2014 season, and there could be a deal worked out between now and the NFL Draft in May.

Seahawks | Interested in Brandin Cooks Sat Apr 5, 11:25 AM
Oregon State WR Brandin Cooks said he is receiving interest from the Seattle Seahawks. It is believed Cooks will either visit with the Seahawks or work out for them before the 2014 NFL Draft.
| Footballguys view: Cooks is fast and feisty. His play reminds some in the scouting community of a younger Steve Smith (Ravens). He should be on the board when the Seahawks pick at 32 overall. |

Seahawks | Could have interest in DeSean Jackson Fri Mar 28, 01:54 PM
The Seattle Seahawks could be a team to watch as a free-agent landing spot for WR DeSean Jackson (Eagles) because of Jackson's relationship with head coach Pete Carroll, in the opinion of Albert Breer on NFL Network.
| Footballguys view: Going to Seattle would be quite attractive for a player like Jackson. His speed would be great on the field opposite Percy Harvin. |

Seahawks | Kam Chancellor says he's not having surgery Wed Mar 26, 12:23 PM
Seattle Seahawks SS Kam Chancellor (hip) tweeted that he will not be undergoing surgery for a hip issue despite contradicting reports. Chancellor said his hip injury is far less severe than the one WR Percy Harvin was dealing with last season. It's unknown how long of a recovery period Chancellor will need if he does undergo surgery, which would be a clean-up procedure.

Seahawks | No interest in Mark Sanchez Tue Mar 25, 12:51 PM
The Seattle Seahawks have no plans to bring in free-agent QB Mark Sanchez (Jets). 'Obviously Pete (Carroll) has a strong connection to Mark and we think the world of him, but at this point, I don't see anything happening,' general manager John Schneider said.
| Footballguys view: Sanchez is getting interest from a few different teams. The Seahawks are fine with Tarvaris Jackson as the primary backup behind Russell Wilson. |

Seahawks | Will keep in touch with Jermichael Finley Tue Mar 25, 12:50 PM
Seattle Seahawks general manager John Schneider said the team will continue to keep in touch with free-agent TE Jermichael Finley (neck) (Packers). 'It's just a matter of safety for him,' Schneider said. 'I think in his mind, with his people, and his doctors, he needs to get in a good spot.'
| Footballguys view: Finley needs to first be cleared for resuming football activity. If healthy, Finley could provide the team with a good move tight end. |

Seahawks | Not interested in DeSean Jackson Sun Mar 23, 11:34 PM
Contrary to a previous report, the Seattle Seahawks do not have any interest in trading for Philadelphia Eagles WR DeSean Jackson, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Even if Jackson is released, the Seahawks may not be interested. They have to worry about future deals coming up for Russell Wilson, Richard Sherman and Earl Thomas. They gave Percy Harvin $67 million last year, so the team's financial situation will prevent them from making too many more splashy deals. |

Seahawks | Trade for DeSean Jackson difficult Sat Mar 22, 09:20 PM
Updating a previous report, the Seattle Seahawks are among the teams to express an interest in Philadelphia Eagles WR DeSean Jackson, according to league sources. However, Jackson is set to make $10.5 million and he faces a $12 million salary cap hit, so trading Jackson could prove difficult.
| Footballguys view: Jackson is not expected to restructure his deal to facilitate a trade, as he could be released and then negotiate with a team for a more advantageous deal. It's looking more and more like his time with the Eagles is done, but we doubt he's actually traded because of that large cap number. |

Seahawks | Inquire about DeSean Jackson Sat Mar 22, 12:07 PM
The Seattle Seahawks have contacted the Philadelphia Eagles about the availability of WR DeSean Jackson.
| Footballguys view: They lost Golden Tate in free agency to the Lions, so adding another wide receiver would make sense. Jackson comes with a $12.7 million cap figure in 2014, so if Seattle traded for him they'd have to restructure his deal. |

| Footballguys view: Allen is weighing his options. We'll see if he follows the money, the ring or both. |

Seahawks | Jared Allen visiting Thu Mar 20, 04:11 PM
Updating a previous report, the agent for free-agent DE Jared Allen (Vikings) said Allen is visiting the Seattle Seahawks, and that is it for now.
| Footballguys view: As we said before, he's still deciding. Hard to imagine you wouldn't like the fit on a team which looks poised to buck the trend of terrible seasons following a Super Bowl, but money could be an issue. |

Seahawks | Agree to terms with Jared Allen Thu Mar 20, 03:21 PM
The Seattle Seahawks agreed to terms with DE Jared Allen (Vikings) Thursday, March 20. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: There have been conflicting reports with Allen's agent now saying he will mull all his offers over the weekend. If he does choose Seattle, he'll bring some consistency and veteran leadership for a team which lost some defensive line talent this free agent period. |

Free-agent DE Jared Allen (Vikings) is making a second visit to the Seattle Seahawks, and he might decide whether to join them in the next few days.
| Footballguys view: Allen may have lowered his asking price. He was originally rumored to be asking for a contract that paid him $10 million annually. A second visit could lead to Allen joining the league's best defense. |

Seahawks | Offer to Golden Tate was laughable Tue Mar 18, 07:05 PM
Former Seattle Seahawks WR Golden Tate said the offer from the team to attempt to re-sign him was 'laughable,' and he ended up inking a five-year, $31 million deal with the Detroit Lions. 'I didn't mean a 40 percent discount,' Tate said. 'I'm going to earn in one year at Detroit what Seattle was going to pay me for two years. Seattle offered numbers that were laughable. I thought, 'I've given you everything and this is what you give me?'
| Footballguys view: The Seahawks were simply being true to Tate's tactical value. Doug Baldwin, Percy Harvin, and Jermaine Kearse all overlap with Tate's skillset in some way, so retaining him was not essential. |

Seahawks | Have interest in Kenny Britt Mon Mar 17, 10:04 PM
The Seattle Seahawks reportedly have interest in free-agent WR Kenny Britt (Titans).
| Footballguys view: The Seahawks are looking for wide receiver help since losing Golden Tate in free agency to the Lions. Britt needs a fresh start, and going to the Super Bowl champions has to be quite appealing. |

Seahawks | Zach Miller restructures deal Sat Mar 15, 12:43 PM
Seattle Seahawks TE Zach Miller has agreed to restructure his contract and will remain with the team for the next two seasons.
| Footballguys view: Miller is a fine blocker, and he's a bit underrated as a receiver. He'll work primarily as their blocking tight end, while we expect the Seahawks to add a free agent or draft pick to play as the move tight end. |

Seahawks | May look to add Jermichael Finley Fri Mar 14, 11:02 PM
There are indications that the Seattle Seahawks are considering signing free-agent TE Jermichael Finley (Packers).
| Footballguys view: Finley has to prove that he's healthy after a neck injury cut short his 2013 season. It would be a fine addition to the Seahawks offense, as Finley can attack the seam and open things up for underneath receivers like Percy Harvin. |

The Seattle Seahawks are reaching out to unrestricted free-agent WR Steve Smith (Panthers).

The Seattle Seahawks and unrestricted free-agent TE Jermichael Finley (neck, Packers) share mutual interest, but the team is waiting on his medical clearance. He has left Seattle without a contract.
