Seattle Seahawks

Quarterback Russell Wilson joined Max Unger (No. 95), Percy Harvin (No. 90), and Earl Thomas (No. 66) as the fourth Seahawk to be represented on NFL Network’s list of the Top 100 players of 2013, appearing at No. 51 on tonight’s unveil of players ranked 51-60. He’s also the fourth quarterback to crack the Top […]

Young quarterbacks might have set the league on fire last season, but they still have to win over a few skeptics. Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is one of them.

Taking the lead from JR Sweezy last season, rookie Jared Smith is making the transition from defense to offense as he begins his NFL career as an interior lineman.

Despite attempting to focus on other players during the Seahawks’ first week of OTA sessions, third-year linebacker K.J. Wright keeps making plays to keep getting noticed.

Dale Zanine-USA TODAY Sports With the NFL season rapidly approaching, I thought it might be fun to take a look at each probable starter for the Seattle Seahawks and try to figure out what is expected of them this year as well as predict what kind of production they will have.  For the second one, I decided to take a gander at All-Pro running back Marshawn Lynch and what he might do in 2013. In 2012, Lynch was the key to Seattle’s offensive success.  His powerful play in the ground game helped to open up lots of passing options through play-action.  Last season, Lynch carried the ball 315 times for 1,590 yards (5 yards per carry) and 11 rushing touchdowns.  This upcoming season, Lynch will be looked upon to carry the offensive load once again. If Lynch can manage to stay healthy, he should have a very productive season.  Last year, everyone knew he was the number one option in the offense and planned their defensive schemes accordingly.  This year, however, the combination of a more mature Russell Wilson and the addition of the dynamic Percy Harvin will take some of the pressure off of Lynch and allow him to be even more effective through misdirection and by keeping opposing defenses guessing. I would expect Lynch to put up numbers similar to those he put up in 2012, but maybe even a little better.  I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that he will have roughly 310 carries for 1,700 yards and 14 rushing touchdowns.  If he can maintain the same level of play and consistency that he did in 2012, I can certainly see Lynch returning to another Pro Bowl and making first team All-Pro once again.

Renton, Wash. - The Seattle Seahawks have signed wide receiver Justin Veltung, the team announced today. Veltung, from nearby Puyallup, played 43 career games at the University of Idaho and collect...

When the Seahawks selected linebacker Aaron Curry with the fourth-overall pick of the 2009 NFL Draft, he was lauded as one of the surest gambles — a safe bet for becoming a future star. He was the highest-drafted linebacker since 2000, and signed a six-year, $60 million contract with the Seahawks, with a whopping $34 million guaranteed. But after he debuted in the NFL, immediately as a starter, Curry just never got it rolling. In 2009, he recorded 60 total tackles and two sacks; the next year, he had 70 tackles and 3.5 sacks, and continued to struggle and make costly mistakes. In 2011, after two starts, Curry lost his [...]

FoxSports.com, for its regular Throwback Thursday feature, highlights Russell Wilson's journey from high school to the NFL. Here's the link, and below is some video:

Justin Veltung, one of the three-dozen players who participated in the Seahawks’ rookie minicamp on a tryout basis, signed with the team this morning. The 5-foot-10, 183-pound receiver/returner from the University of Idaho and Puyallup High School was singled out by coach Pete Carroll when he was asked if there had been any surprises during […]

There are multiple reports that the Seahawks today signed receiver Justin Veltung as an undrafted free agent. Veltung is a graduate of Idaho and Puyallaup High School. As his bio indicates, he battled injuries his last two seasons at Idaho but still finished 11th on the school's career all-purpose yardage list. Veltung participated in Seattle's rookie mini-camp earlier this month. One reason the Seahawks might be intrigued by Veltung?
