Yep, Schneider & #Seahawks seem likely to want to trade down. A lot of scuttlebutt about Arizona or the Jets possibly making a move up for Simpson ... Easy way for Seattle to add a Day 3 pick and still be in basically the same position ...

Which team would move back into the 1st to take Ty Simpson? "You look at the 32nd pick. John Schneider trades out of the first round all the time." - @LanceZierlein 🎥 “Inside Coverage” @YahooSports

John Schneider today talked indirectly at fans who are grumping about the #Seahawks muted free agency this year. He brought up Charles Cross re-signing in January (4y, $104m): "That’s part of free agency as well. Joey Laine worked his tail off on that deal for several weeks.”

@Cjswrld_2 Yeah, he joked that this year's RB worry for fans is like last year's OL worry

On his radio show, John Schneider said the #Seahawks have been trying to acquire CB Noah Igbinoghene for "the last couple of years." Finally got him. Dan Quinn brought him to Washington in 2024 and re-signed him in 2025.

#Seahawks GM John Schneider said he is not in favor of this. He will "hear it out" next weekend at the league meetings, but said, "I really like our system right now." He said he can see GMs on the hot seat giving up distant first-rounders for their own immediate job security.

Here’s the full language of the Browns’ proposal to allow teams to trade draft picks up to five years in the future, rather than the current three, in part to “create more creative trade structures that better mirror the valuations of both draft selections and players.”

RB is "a position where you can find guys," John Schneider said on his @SeattleSports show. That philosophy explains why the #Seahawks didn't pay Walker and likely would not make a big trade for Achane.

"That's a position where you can find guys...but George [Holani] did a great job and we're really excited about Emmanuel Wilson...We know where we're at right now." #Seahawks GM John Schneider breaks down where Seattle's running back room sits at this point in the offseason on with @WymanAndBob.

They’re one tweak IMO from being as close to perfect as you can get. While I like how they now show trade value chart points when doing trades, it only shows you those AFTER you submit. Would be great to have those be live as you’re working through scenarios. But it’s a small complaint. There really super-charged it this year. The flexibility to choose your big board is a great upgrade too. And all free!!

Whoa!!!!! @PFSN365 just dropped a MASSIVE update to their draft profile in the mock sim. This is a game-changer. Other sims overtook them the last couple years IMO but they have added some features this year that put them squarely back on top.

The Seahawks re-signed WR Cody White, who ended the year on IR with a groin injury. He told @_AriHorton after signing: “I am so excited to be back in Seattle and then being back close to 100 percent, getting back ready for OTAs.”

Just ran across this from December. And the Hawks did end up doing whatever it took. Good move.
Chris Cluff@CHawk_Talk

The #Seahawks need to do whatever it takes to keep Rashid Shaheed. He has been HUGE over the last three games. Just 2 touches vs. the Rams, but 89 yards and a TD. Imagine how he will be in 2026 after a full offseason working with Sam Darnold. He's a keeper.

Agree with Jeff here. Hardly think Schneider would trade for Achane, knowing he also would then need to pay him top RB dollar ... If the Hawks were considering a trade for a RB, Chuba Hubbard might be more of an option to them. Far cheaper in both trade and salary costs ...
Jeff Simmons@realjeffsimmons

I keep seeing this floated. I can’t really wrap my head around the logic of trading capital to pay Achane when you could’ve just signed Walker for less money. Yes, Walker will get you a comp 5. But you aren’t getting achane for anything close to that.

The Seahawks are re-signing inside linebacker and special teamer Chazz Surratt, as @AaronWilson_NFL reported. It’s a one-year deal.

Seahawks RG Anthony Bradford (~$1.1M) and LB Drake Thomas (~1.02M) were among the top 25 earners in Performance-Based Pay. S Ty Okada (~$961K), C Jalen Sundell (~$900K) and TE AJ Barner (~850K) were next among Seahawks. And no, these payments don't count against the salary cap.
Brian McCarthy@NFLprguy

NFL players will receive more than $542 million in Performance-Based Pay for their performance during the 2025 season. The Performance-Based Pay program is a collectively bargained benefit that compensates all players based upon their playing time and salary levels. Top 25 here
