In his first year with the Seahawks, Darnold helmed his team's Super Bowl LX win over the Patriots, but despite that success the veteran QB acknowledges that there's still work to be done in terms of "continuing to hone in on the deep ball" as well as understanding how he can get better that way by "quieting (his) feet in the pocket." Darnold — who threw for 4,048 yards and 25 TDs in 17 regular-season games in 2025 — also points to his 20 regular-season turnovers (14 interceptions and six fumbles lost) as an area that he can improve. Looking ahead to the coming campaign, the 29-year-old will be working with a pass-catching corps that returns WRs Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Cooper Kupp and Rashid Shaheed and TE AJ Barner. Following the free-agent departure of RB Kenneth Walker, the team added Jadarian Price in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft to bolster a backfield that awaits the recovery of Zach Charbonnet, who's bouncing back from a torn ACL.

Per the report, Charbonnet, who underwent surgery to repair his left knee Feb. 20, did some conditioning work during Tuesday's minicamp practice. Given the timing of his procedure, the expectation has been that Charbonnet will miss time out of the gate this coming season, and in that scenario 2026 first-round pick Jadarian Price, as well as George Holani and Emanuel Wilson, would be in line to handle Seattle's backfield duties come Week 1. However, when asked if there's a chance Charbonnet could be ready by the start of the season, Macdonald said Wednesday, "Everything's possible." Either way, Charbonnet's progress will be worth monitoring closely as the summer rolls along, and once he's ready to return to game action, the 2023 second-rounder will have an opportunity to claim a key role in a Seahawks RB corps that no longer includes Kenneth Walker, who led the team with 221 carries in 2025.

Macdonald said that "it's all positive" with Horton. He evidently isn't quite ready for football activities just yet, but it doesn't sound like Horton has suffered any true setback in his recovery. Until he's back to full strength, Jake Bobo is a candidate to see increased work as minicamp continues.

Wilson did a solid job filling in for an injured Josh Jacobs in Green Bay last season, so it's no surprise there was fantasy interest after Wilson signed with the RB-needy Seahawks in March on a reported one-year, $2.1 million contract. His fantasy stock has since taken a hit, in large part because the Seahawks drafted RB Jadarian Price at No. 32 overall in April. It also doesn't help that Wilson's contract is closer to $1.6 million in base value, not $2.1 million, and with only $300,000 guaranteed at signing. He may still be part of the plan to help replace Kenneth Walker (Chiefs) and Zach Charbonnet (torn ACL), but early reports out of Seattle have George Holani getting most of the first-team reps while Price mixes in some. Wilson seems to be exclusively working with the backups, at least during the media-access portions of practice.

With Kenneth Walker in Kansas City and Zach Charbonnet (knee) recovering from late-February ACL surgery, Holani is the veteran holdover in Seattle's backfield. First-round pick Jadarian Price is a clear favorite to lead the team in carries come Week 1, but it sounds like Holani is getting more snaps with the starters during the offseason program. Meanwhile, free-agent signing Emanuel Wilson reportedly is getting a lot of his work with the third-string offense. Holani, a 2024 UDFA, is still a long shot for mainstream fantasy value, but he's at least earning a spot on deep-sleeper lists and generating some interest as an end-game pick for best ball.

The report suggests George Holani has mostly been first through the backfield rotation, with Price also getting some first-team reps, while Emanuel Wilson is largely working with backups. Bell also suggests Zach Charbonnet (knee) could be part of the team's plan as early as September or October, even though Charbonnet underwent ACL surgery in late February. Price, the 32nd overall pick this spring, remains a solid favorite to lead Seattle in carries come Week 1. However, the rookie could end up in a three-man rotation with Holani handling pass-catching work and Wilson taking some of the inside carries and/or pass-blocking snaps.

The team has been vague on what Barner underwent his pair of surgeries for, but the tight end dealt with hip, elbow, shoulder, knee, ankle and calf injuries in the latter half of last season and into the playoffs. Despite the nagging issues, Barner started all 17 regular-season games, producing a 52-519-6 line on 68 targets. He added another six catches for 67 yards and one touchdown across three playoff contests.

Hall only came away with 2.0 sacks in the third season of his rookie contract as he rotated in on the edge behind veteran DeMarcus Lawrence, Uchenna Nwosu and Boye Mafe. However, following a 2.0-sack performance in Super Bowl 60, Hall is now getting a second contract with the Seahawks. With Lawrence having just turned 34 and Mafe now playing with Cincinnati, Hall more easily projects for a starter-type role in 2026.

Knight sustained a concussion during the Seahawks' Super Bowl LX win over the Patriots, but he's now cleared protocol and returned to the field. Across 16 regular-season appearances in 2025, the UTEP product tallied 57 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, and two forced fumbles. He'll likely operate as Seattle's top reserve inside linebacker during the 2026 season.

Kight finished Seattle's 2025 campaign on injured reserve with a knee issue, but his participation in Tuesday's practice indicates he has now fully recovered. The second-year pro from UCF will likely compete for one of the Seahawks' top reserve tackle spots as the offseason progresses.

Cabeldue was unavailable for the Seahawks' final six games (including playoffs) last season after sustaining a knee injury. However, his participation in Tuesday's OTAs suggests he's now moved past the issue. Cabeldue is expected to play a depth role on Seattle's offensive line heading into the 2026 season.

The second-year fullback from Alabama was sidelined for the NFC Championship Game and the Super Bowl last season due to a neck injury, but his participation in Tuesday's practice suggests he's moved past the issue. Ouzts contributed on both offense and special teams during his rookie campaign, appearing in 12 regular-season games and logging 259 total snaps (203 on offense, 56 on special teams). Now fully healthy, he's expected to play a similar role during the 2026 season.

Charles was sidelined all of last season due to a knee injury, but it now appears he's moved past the issue. The 28-year-old appeared in 13 games for the Jets in 2024, failing to haul in his lone target while playing 221 total snaps (212 on special teams, nine on offense). Now in Seattle, Charles will likely compete for another special-teams role ahead of the 2026 season.

McIntosh missed all of the Seahawks' 2025 campaign due to a torn ACL suffered during training camp, but the hope is for him to return in late July. The Georgia product appeared in all 17 of Seattle's regular-season games in 2024, rushing 31 times for 172 yards and catching three of his four targets for 22 yards. Once fully healthy, McIntosh could play a larger role in a crowded Seahawks backfield that includes rookie Jadarian Price, Emanuel Wilson and Zach Charbonnet (knee), who is not expected to return until midseason.

Rochelle earned a contract after trying out with the Seahawks during rookie minicamp. After spending his first two seasons at Rutgers, Rochelle transferred to FCS Indiana State for his final two campaigns, recording 102 receptions for 1,388 yards and 13 touchdowns. He impressed as a returner with 28.1 yards per kickoff return, scoring a 95-yard touchdown in his senior season, too. It will be difficult to contribute as a returner with Rashid Shaheed in the mix in Seattle, but Rochelle will push for a reserve roster spot through the offseason program and training camp.

The deal is worth up to $5 million. Fowler will turn 32 years old later this summer and is headed into his 12th season out of the University of Florida. He appeared in all 17 regular-season games with the Cowboys last season, making 11 starts, but recorded just 3.0 sacks as a sub-package edge rusher while playing 32 percent of the defensive snaps. In Seattle, he'll provide depth behind DeMarcus Lawrence, Uchenna Nwosu and Derick Hall.

Mason is coming off a senior season with Wisconsin during which he caught 30 passes for 398 yards and four touchdowns. Prior to that, he spent his first three campaigns at Missouri State. Mason is 6-foot-3 with reliable hands, but he isn't particularly quick or agile. Seattle's tight-end corps is led by AJ Barner and Elijah Arroyo, and Mason may be headed for a spot on the practice squad.

The details of the deal are unknown at this point, but Bryant fits with the Seahawks' recent approach of seeking out hard-nosed tight ends. As for his competition, 2024 fourth-rounder AJ Barner, 2025 second-rounder Elijah Arroyo and veteran Eric Saubert are all likely to make Seattle's 53-man roster to start the 2026 season, but there's a decent chance the team keeps four tight ends, meaning one of Bryant or Nick Kallerup could potentially make the opening roster too.

Not that it's unusual for late seventh-round picks, but Dansby was well off the NFL Draft radar after playing three seasons at San Jose State and one at Arizona, all of them unremarkable. At a listed 5-foot-11, 185 pounds, Dansby didn't participate in pre-draft athletic testing, so his skill set and tools grade both are question marks at best. Perhaps the Seahawks saw something in Dansby's special-teams upside.

Eastern was a full-time starter at defensive tackle in each of his last three seasons at Minnesota. He was named an All-Big Ten Honorable Mention in 2025 after posting 38 total tackles, including 2.5 sacks, one forced fumble and one pass defense across 13 games. Eastern has an intimidating 6-foot-5, 315-pound frame that makes him an intriguing development project for the Seahawks, who will certainly work with the 23-year-old on his technique and instinct to try and develop him into an NFL-caliber defensive lineman.

Fuller (6-foot-1, 200 pounds) spent the first two years of his collegiate career at the FCS level before transferring to Toledo in 2022, and it wasn't until his fourth season with the Rockets that he stepped into a starting role. A safety-turned-cornerback, Fuller boasts a desirable frame for his position and logged a solid 4.49 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine, and starting his career behind returning outside corners Devon Witherspoon and Josh Jobe is sufficient to allow the rookie seventh-rounder time to develop. Fuller's combination of size and speed could help him carve out a role on special teams early on.

Henderson (6-foot-1, 185 pounds) might be a better bet to make a roster than most other sixth-round rookie receiver selections, because Henderson is fully expected to stand out as a special-teams gunner. Henderson was a known special-teams presence even while he was a backup wideout at Alabama, but Henderson managed to log an encouraging season of wideout production in his one year at Kansas. The selection of Henderson might be a bad sign for 2025 seventh-round pick Ricky White, who was also largely selected for his special-teams ability.

The Seahawks sent a 2027 fourth-round pick to the Browns for this pick. Stephens was a three-year starter at Iowa and didn't allow a sack as a senior. He played at left guard at Iowa but did take some snaps at center at the Senior Bowl. Stephens should provide depth to the Seahawks' interior offensive line. However, his upside is ultimately limited by his below-average athleticism. After all, he had the shortest arms and smallest hands at the NFL Combine, and his 5.35-second 40-yard dash left plenty to be desired.

Neal is a standout athlete at 6-foot-2, 203 pounds with a 4.49-second 40, 40-inch vertical and 134-inch broad jump, but it's a red flag that he played four years at Fresno State and never earned a starting role. He did start for Arkansas as a fifth-year player, but a very safe general rule is that anyone who can't start in four years isn't an NFL starter. If Neal emerges as a viable starter in Seattle, it would be very impressive on the part of coach Mike Macdonald.

Clark (6-foot-1, 188 pounds) boasts experience as a four-year starter at TCU plus significant versatility, having lined up in the box, at free safety and in the slot over the course of his collegiate career. Across his tenure as a starter with the Horned Frogs, Clark totaled 35 passes defensed including 15 interceptions. He also improved against the run over the last two seasons, totaling over 50 tackles in both 2024 and 2025. Clark, who will turn 25 years old in May, will likely contribute as the No. 3 man behind starting safeties Ty Okada and Julian Love in his rookie year.
