The HawksZone Rundown podcast breaks down the latest news and rumors concerning the Seattle Seahawks’ top players.
Consider this the calm before the storm for the Seattle Seahawks. Free agency starts next week, but in the days to come we should get a lot more clarity regarding salary cap casualties, Geno Smith’s contract extension, and perhaps even what lies ahead for DK Metcalf following recent reports of trade interest from the Green Bay Packers.
In the latest ‘Pulse of the ‘Hawks’ series on the HawksZone Rundown podcast (now part of the Field Gulls family, I might add!), hosts Bryce Coutts, Ryan MacMillan, and yours truly broke it all down over the span of 70 minutes. We led off with Metcalf, continued on with Geno, jumped into NFL Combine takeaways, then free agency, and wrapped up with a Q&A from the YouTube live stream from Monday’s recording.
Note: I know it’ll get brought up in the comments but Bryce has been under the weather and his yawning and muted coughs are a product of that! It’s part of why our show was a little bit shorter than usual. Incidentally I’ll get to your Field Gulls Mailbag questions later this week in written form.
Timestamps and show info
3:55 – DK Metcalf trade rumors – Are the Seahawks really going to deal Metcalf, or are teams just going to them and inquiring? Are the reports legit? What would it mean for the Seahawks to potentially send DK to the Green Bay Packers? How would that impact the wide receiver group?
16:27 – Geno Smith’s potential contract extension, will he get it? Is he a franchise quarterback or is he a bridge to a long-term QB of the future? What would that contract look like?
29:18 – NFL combine takeaways and Winners and Losers – Who stood out and who hurt their draft stock? Is Shedeur Sanders going to drop out of the top 10? Has Jaxson Dart risen into the first round? Could Nick Emmanwori be a Seahawk at No. 18? We discuss Dart, Tyler Shough, and Quinn Ewers among the quarterback options. There’s also quite a bit of discussion regarding the offensive line, including LSU’s Will Campbell and Missouri’s Armand Membou.
45:45 – Free agency looms for the Seattle Seahawks. John Schneider doesn’t normally make splash signings. Will that be different in 2025? Who are some offensive linemen Seattle could get? Would they be interested in Drew Dalman? What are some other center and guard options?
55:02 – Viewer Q&A from the live stream – How fall could Shedeur drop in the draft, if at all? Will Jaxson Dart be drafted by the Seahawks in the 3rd-4th round? Would the Seahawks draft another running back in Day 3? How many offensive linemen do the Seahawks need this offseason?
