The Seattle Seahawks aren’t going to the playoffs, but that doesn’t mean there will be a shortage of former Seahawks in the postseason.
The 2025 NFL Playoffs are here, and while the Seattle Seahawks aren’t a part of the postseason, there are so many former Seahawks who will be participating on other teams. In fact, the number is large enough that it’s too time-consuming to dive deeply into how their respective seasons have gone.
Here’s a quick and easy list of ex-Seahawks players and coaches who are on playoff teams this year. I am not including anyone who’s either on injured reserve or the practice squad. This is limited exclusively to current coaches and active roster players, and the status of “former Seahawk” entails either a former draft pick, former coach, or someone who was at least active on a gameday roster for at least one game.
