Projections: An 11-6 Season in Sight

Fox Sports analyst Eric D. Williams is bullish on Seattle's title defense, predicting an 11-6 record for 2026.

"The foundational pieces remain and the Seahawks still have one of the youngest rosters in the league. The bottom line is that the Super Bowl window is still wide open, and the Seahawks have a chance to appear in back-to-back Super Bowls for the first time since the 2013-2014 seasons."

Oddsmakers are similarly optimistic. FanDuel Sportsbook currently has the Seahawks' projected win total at 10.5 wins, with Super Bowl odds at +1000 and playoff odds at -255.

Significant Offseason Departures

The defending champs didn't escape free agency unscathed. Seattle lost several key contributors to their championship run:

• Running back Kenneth Walker III
• Cornerback Riq Woolen
• Safety Coby Bryant
• Edge rusher Boye Mafe

The team did manage to retain wide receiver Rashid Shaheed and extended star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba.

Draft Reinforcements

To address the losses, Seattle drafted Notre Dame running back Jadarian Price in the first round and TCU safety Bud Clark in the second round. Rob Rang, Fox Sports' draft analyst, gave the haul a B grade.

"This class wasn't as flashy as the one a year ago, which helped power the Seahawks to their second championship in franchise history, but it was an impressive haul that improved one of the deepest rosters in the league — even with the club having already invested two middle-round picks at the trade deadline for Rashid Shaheed."

Ralph Vacchiano ranked the Seahawks No. 3 in his post-draft power rankings, calling them a championship team with few holes to fill.
