Former New York Jets head coach Adam Gase recently spoke with the Seattle Seahawks in regards to their offensive coordinator vacancy, according to a source.
Footballguys view: That's an ....interesting... interview considering Gase's failures on offense when he was head coach with the Jets. It's also interesting to note safety Jamal Adams, who left Gase and the Jets with great joy to join the Seahawks. We shall see what happens with the open OC job in Seattle. |

Former Los Angeles Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn has already spoken to Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll about the team's offensive coordinator vacancy and would be among the team's top choices to succeed Brian Schottenheimer in that role if Lynn decides he wants to coach in 2021, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.
Footballguys view: Lynn has not decided whether or not he wants to coach in 2021, but he's clearly got interest. If he's hired by Seattle, then expect the Seahawks to go with a run-heavy offense given Lynn's background. |

The Seattle Seahawks could have interest in Los Angeles Chargers quarterbacks coach Pep Hamilton for their vacant offensive coordinator role, according to Josina Anderson.
Footballguys view: Hamilton should be getting a lot more interest than he is given how he was able to work with rookie QB Justin Herbert in 2020. We'll see the Seahawks likely go for a more aggressive approach with their new OC and ditch the balanced offense that former OC Brian Schottenheimer ran. |

Free-agent WR John Ursua (Seahawks) signed a Reserve/Future contract with the Seattle Seahawks Wednesday, Jan. 13.

Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer parted ways with the team Tuesday, Jan. 12, citing philosophical differences.
Footballguys view: Ah yes, the good ole "philosophical differences" as the reason for a parting of ways. It's not you, it's me...yadda, yadda, yadda. Seattle's offense sputtered under Schottenheimer down the stretch in 2020. They should lean more towards an offense that features more of the passing game and MVP-level quarterback Russell Wilson. Schottenheimer should get interest as an OC with some other team in the near future. |

Seattle Seahawks executive vice president and general manager John Schneider signed a multi-year contract extension on Tuesday, Jan. 12, that will keep him in his current post through the end of the 2027 NFL Draft. Financial terms of the deal were not immediately disclosed.
Footballguys view: The Lions were sniffing around Schneider to run their team, so Seattle decides to give their GM an extension. Schneider and head coach Pete Carroll work well together. Even through early-round misses, Schneider has still found a way to get hits in free agency and some gems in the draft that others overlooked. We'll see them work to get the Seahawks defense back on track in the years to come. |

Seattle Seahawks impending free-agent WR Phillip Dorsett is a player that head coach Pete Carroll would like to re-sign this offseason.
Footballguys view: Dorsett had foot surgery in early November and was on Injured Reserve for the Seahawks for most of the 2020 season. The former first-round pick still has speed and is a deep threat when healthy. We're sure the Seahawks could bring him back for a good price if they want to. |

Seattle Seahawks S Marquise Blair (knee) should be ready for the start of the 2021 season, according to head coach Pete Carroll.

Free-agent OT Tommy Champion, QB Danny Etling, WR Aaron Fuller, WR Penny Hart, CB Gavin Heslop, DT Cedrick Lattimore, C Brad Lundblade, TE Tyler Mabry, QB Alex McGough, CB Jordan Miller and WR Cody Thompson signed Reserve/Future contract with the Seattle Seahawks Monday, Jan. 11. Terms of the contracts were not disclosed.
Footballguys view: We'll always have a soft spot for WR Penny Hart...in crazy deep dynasty formats of course. Hart is super quick and super fast, so he's dangerous with the rock in his hands. It will be fun to see if he continues to progress in his pro career. |

Seattle Seahawks RB Alex Collins was elevated from the practice squad Friday, Jan. 8.
Footballguys view: Collins got some work in Week 17 and looked good in limited duty. Rashaad Penny (knee) is questionable for the Wild Card game against the Rams, so that means Collins could be out there in a limited role again. |

Seattle Seahawks OG Mike Iupati (neck) and OT Brandon Shell (ankle) practiced in full Wednesday, Jan. 6, and if they are able to continue to do so and play in the wild-card round against the Los Angeles Rams, it would mark just the sixth time this season all five starting offensive linemen would be healthy and playing together.

Seattle Seahawks RB Carlos Hyde (illness) was a full participant at practice Tuesday, Jan. 5.
Footballguys view: In Week 17, we saw Rashaad Penny and Alex Collins work as backups behind starter Chris Carson. In the Wild Card Round, Hyde should return and get most of the work when Carson needs a breather. |

Seattle Seahawks RB Chris Carson (foot, load management) didn't participate in practice Tuesday, Jan. 5.

Seattle Seahawks QB Russell Wilson completed 20-of-36 passes for 181 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 17 against the San Francisco 49ers, while also running for 29 yards. RB Chris Carson ended up with a team-best 44 rushing yards on 11 carries, while adding two grabs for 39 yards. RB Alex Collins had five carries for 29 yards and a score, and WR Tyler Lockett rolled up 12 receptions for a game-high 90 yards and 14 targets. WR DK Metcalf was limited to 21 yards on three receptions, with TE Will Dissly leading the tight ends with 20 receiving yards.
Footballguys view: Seattle ended up stuck in the third seed no matter what happened in this game, but it was still positive to end on a winning note. They'll face the Rams, who have been a tough divisional matchup for them since Sean McVay took over. |

Seattle Seahawks RB Carlos Hyde (illness) has been ruled out of the Week 17 game.
Footballguys view: Chris Carson is the lead back for Seattle but Hyde gives them some veteran punch off the bench. Although in recent weeks, Hyde hasn't been asked to do much playing just 30 snaps over the last two games. Without Hyde on the field as a reserve, the team will turn to Rashaad Penny. |
