Today is a special day in Seattle Seahawks history. On this day, 19 years ago, the Seahawks claimed their first NFC Championship, and punched their ticket to their first Super Bowl ever. Finally, after 30 seasons of existence, the Seahawks reaped the rewards of conference supremacy and had an opportunity to play for a Lombardi.

Head man Mike Macdonald said he was going to give the new play caller the latitude to bring his own offensive assistants.

The Carolina Panthers, like 17 other NFL teams didn't make the playoffs. They sat at home and watched as the league whittled down to the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs still standing. The Panthers had a very up-and-down year but were never really in contention for the postseason.

Schneider said he believes guards are overpaid and overdrafted, but the Seahawks need help inside and could have options in Round 1.

The Seattle Seahawks are projected to receive three compensatory picks in this year's NFL Draft, according to Over The Cap.

Carolina has now parted ways with four assistant coaches since the conclusion of the 2024 campaign. Along with Carroll, Carolina is moving on without outside linebackers coach Tem Lukabu, safeties coach Bert Watts and defensive quality control coach Bobby Maffei.

Carolina head coach Dave Canales and GM Dan Morgan should prioritize strengthening the defensive line, among other things.

After firing Ryan Grubb following the end of their season, the Seattle Seahawks are taking their time in the ... in the NFL when he followed Matt Rhule from Baylor to the Carolina Panthers in 2020. He joined Kevin O'Connell's staff in 2022.

The addition of offensive lineman Robert Hunt proved to be quite a valuable one for the Carolina Panthers in 2024. Conversely, the loss of Hunt—in the case of the Miami Dolphins—will have some value of its own.

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith faces an uncertain future after missing the playoffs for the second year in a row. Smith has been good for the Seahawks, leading them to 10 wins this season, but it hasn't been enough to get the team to the goals that they set themselves out for.

The Seattle Seahawks are still in the middle of their search for a new offensive coordinator after firing first-year coach Ryan Grubb at the end of their season.
