Seattle Seahawks DT Malik McDowell (concussion) has not been medically cleared and is expected to be released in the near future, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: McDowell had first-round talent, but off-field issues caused him to fall to the early second round...just in last year's draft. His rookie season was a complete wash as an ATV accident caused severe injuries that forced him to the sideline. An arrest in December for disorderly conduct didn't help his chances of making the team, and the Seahawks are ready to move on. |

| Footballguys view: A first-round pick of the Raiders in 2000, Janikowski has spent his entire career with one franchise. He gets a fresh start in Seattle after spending all of last year on Injured Reserve in Oakland. |

Seahawks | J.D. McKissic signs tender Fri Apr 13, 04:20 PM
Seattle Seahawks exclusive rights free-agent RB J.D. McKissic signed his one-year tender offer Friday, April 13. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: ERFAs don't really have a choice. It's either play for their team or choose not to play football. McKissic is going to be in the mix of Seattle's backfield, and he could be more than a change-of-pace back. Expect the Seahawks to add a RB in the 2018 NFL draft as well. |
Seahawks | Stephen Morris signs with Seahawks Fri Apr 13, 07:59 AM
Free-agent QB Stephen Morris (Redskins) signed an undisclosed deal with the Seattle Seahawks Friday, April 13.

Seattle Seahawks restricted free-agent DE Dion Jordan signed his tender offer Thursday, April 12, and will make $1.9 million in 2018.
| Footballguys view: Jordan could do well in these scheme, and the Seahawks need some fresh bodies on defense, but while the upside is there, Jordan is not exciting as an addition. |

Seahawks | Colin Kaepernick could visit Seattle Thu Apr 12, 02:02 PM
Free-agent QB Colin Kaepernick (49ers) may meet with the Seattle Seahawks at a later date once his plans for football and his stance on social issues are considered and finalized.
| Footballguys view: Kaepernick is a natural fit behind Russell Wilson and the Seahawks have kicked the tires on him before. If the only issue is truly having a set plan for his social issues -- really agreeing to the meeting seems like a clear plan for football -- one would imagine the thing will get done. |

Seahawks | Three work out for Seahawks Wed Apr 11, 11:02 AM
Texas A&M WR Christian Kirk, Arizona State RB Kalen Ballage and Houston QB Kyle Allen worked out for the Seattle Seahawks Tuesday, April 10.
| Footballguys view: Kirk is the most interesting prospect out of these guys and he's the highest rated as he could be a first-round pick. At Texas A&M, Kirk showed extreme quickness on underneath routes and he can be dangerous after the catch. Ballage is a big-bodied (6'1" 230 pounds) back who is more nimble than his size would imply. He can work as a receiver out of the backfield effectively and could be a third-round pick. Allen is seen as a priority free agent who might be able to latch on with a team as a camp arm. |

Seahawks | Nick Vannett may have bigger role Mon Apr 9, 02:21 PM
Seattle Seahawks TE Nick Vannett is in line for a bigger role on offense since TE Luke Willson signed with the Detroit Lions during free agency.
| Footballguys view: A third-round pick out of Ohio State in 2016, Vannett hasn't done much as a pro. He's snared 15 catches for 156 yards and one touchdown in 23 games in the NFL. Vannett has the ability to line up all over the field, in the slot or as an in-line tight end. His routes need some work, but he's got the wingspan and strong hands to be a quality receiver. Dynasty owners take note. |

Seahawks | Mike Davis to work with starters Mon Apr 9, 02:10 PM
Seattle Seahawks RB Mike Davis will work with the first-team offense once offseason workouts begin, according to head coach Pete Carroll.
| Footballguys view: A fourth-round pick (49ers) out of South Carolina in 2015, Davis has always had the natural running talent and instincts to be a quality ball-carrier in the pros. He flashed a bit at the end of the 2017 season for the Seahawks and it will be interesting to see how this backfield shapes up for the new year. With such a fine class of rookie RBs coming into the NFL, expect Seattle to select one in the draft. |

Link to story Seahawks | D.J. Fluker to start at RG Mon Apr 2, 01:18 PM
Seattle Seahawks OG D.J. Fluker will start at right guard next season, according to head coach Pete Carroll.
| Footballguys view: Fluker should help the running game get out of neutral if he can stay healthy, but he was available for cheap in free agency for a reason and isn't a long term answer on an offensive line that is trying to find any sort of success after falling apart in recent years. |
Seahawks | Shamar Stephen has chance to start Mon Apr 2, 01:12 PM

Seahawks | Barkevious Mingo expected to start Mon Apr 2, 01:02 PM
Seattle Seahawks LB Barkevious Mingo is expected to be the starting strongside linebacker next season when the team is in their base 4-3 defensive alignment. He will move to defensive end on passing situations.
| Footballguys view: Mingo has underwhelmed since the Browns made him the #6 in 2013. He's getting yet another shot to stick on his fourth team in six years, but hasn't sustained impact or production yet. |

Seahawks | Seattle looking at Mark Sanchez? Thu Mar 29, 10:53 PM
Free-agent QB Mark Sanchez (Bears) is a potential candidate to fill the backup quarterback role for the Seattle Seahawks.
| Footballguys view: The Seahawks are also looking at Geno Smith. Neither Sanchez or Smith is anything to write home about, but both are the veteran depth behind Russell Wilson that Seattle needs. |

Seahawks | Seattle to meet with Geno Smith Thu Mar 29, 05:58 PM
Free-agent QB Geno Smith (Giants) is scheduled to meet with the Seattle Seahawks Thursday, March 29, and Friday, March 30, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Smith didn't show much in brief action with the Giants, and was a mess with the Jets. Maybe he'd find rebirth in Seattle but we're not sure we'd bet on it. |

Seattle Seahawks RB Chris Carson (leg) is '100 percent now' and should have no problem being ready to participate in OTAs, according to head coach Pete Carroll.
| Footballguys view: A seventh-round pick in the 2017 NFL draft, Carson flashed a bit for about a month for the Seahawks. He'll be in the mix for backfield touches in 2018. |

| Footballguys view: Johnson wasn't needed in Minnesota after they signed Sheldon Richardson, who the Seahawks gave up a second-round pick to get last year. The Seahawks defense is going to take a big step back this year. |

Seahawks | Mike Davis returns to Seattle Thu Mar 22, 09:03 AM
Free-agent RB Mike Davis (Seahawks) agreed to a one-year deal with the Seattle Seahawks Thursday, March 22. Financial terms weren't disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Depending on Chris Carson's return from injury, Davis could see a little work. There's not a ton of clarity in the backfield, but there is room. Davis hasn't really excited consistently while in the NFL, but a new offense could give him some motivation. The offensive line is still a mess though, which can limit any backfield's upside. |

Seattle Seahawks general manager John Schneider recently mentioned that the club 'needs' RB C.J. Prosise 'to be a reliable dude,' adding that he's an 'extremely talented guy.'
| Footballguys view: Schneider is correct, Prosise has a ton of talent as a runner and receiver out of the backfield. He just needs to stay healthy and produce for Seattle as a change-of-pace back. If he hits, Prosise would have flex appeal for fantasy owners in PPR leagues because of his all-purpose skill set. |
