Michael Dansby was invisible in the NFL Draft process. The Seahawks didn’t care
When the Seattle Seahawks announced Michael Dansby with the 255th pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, the initial reaction around the league was closer to confusion than excitement — even accounting for the fact that he was one of the final selections in the class. Not simply because he was largely absent from national draft […]

Seahawks, Cowboys could hold joint practice at VMAC
One significant change in the Seattle Seahawks’ training camps under Mike Macdonald has been the re-introduction of joint practices, which the team hadn’t done since the early 1990s. In 2024, the Seahawks held two scrimmages with the Tennessee Titans before their preseason game in Nashville, and last year they had a single joint practice with […]

The traits that made Andre Fuller a classic late-round Seahawks draft bet
Andre Fuller immediately joins the long lineage of lengthy developmental cornerbacks the Seattle Seahawks have historically targeted, particularly when betting on traits over polish. Fuller may not have entered the process with the same level of buzz as higher-profile prospects, but the physical profile, the aggressive play style, and the comfort level in press coverage […]

As Seahawks avoid overseas game again, NFL expands international games to 11 in 2027
The Seattle Seahawks won’t be heading overseas for a game in 2026, but their odds to do so in 2027 just increased.

Four Options for the Kraken at Pick 7
The NHL Draft Lottery has come and gone, and luck continues to not be on the Seattle Kraken’s side. The Hockey Gods are clearly prepared to drag this team – and fanbase – through years of developing instead of having nice things. The Kraken were one number away from moving up to the 2nd overall pick. Instead, they moved down to the #7 pick after San Jose saw their number drawn. So, now that we know when the Kraken will pick, it is time to look at who is likely to be available – and who the Kraken should select. Keaton Verhoeff, D, North Dakota (NCAA) At 6’4”, 212 lbs, Verhoeff is built to play in the NHL. He is a large defenseman that would undoubtedly help the Kraken’s blueline, which clearly needs a facelift. With the likelihood of Jamie Oleksiak being on the move this offseason or at some point next year, the Kraken will need someone with size and grit to defend the blue line. After a successful 2024-25 season playing for Victoria Royals of the WHL, where he netted 21 goals, he followed it up with an equally impressive season in the NCAA, scoring 20 points in 39 games. In addition to his play on the ice, it is his leadership potential off the ice that makes him that much more desirable. Having represented Canada as team captain at the U18 Men’s International tournament, it is clear he has the potential to lead a team and be a quarterback of the blueline. He was named to Team Canada’s U20 World Junior Championship roster last year, which as a 17-year-old is typically unheard of. Daxon Rudolph, D, Prince Albert (WHL) At 6’2”, 206 lbs, Rudolph possesses the same build as the majority of NHL defenders. While a good majority of draft eligible defenders need an extra year to put muscle and size on, Rudolph has the size and weight to compete immediately. He is coming off a very successful campaign for the Raiders, having scored 78 points in 68 games, while adding 27 points in 18 playoff games so far. Prince Albert has made it to the WHL finals, providing him with playoff experience – a skill the Kraken clearly lack on their roster. Rudolph is not afraid to use his size – having watched numerous games this year, particularly in the playoffs, he makes it very difficult on opponents by wearing them down after taking numerous body checks. He did serve a 1-game suspension for a cross-check to the head of an opponent in the WHL finals, which he will undoubtedly learn from. It is difficult as a teenager to find that line between assertive and overly aggressive, and that typically comes with time and experience. If he can learn to walk the line and stay out of the penalty box, he could be the bodyguard many teams look for in the NHL. This also would provide the Kraken another player who is not afraid to get dirty in the corners – which they lack outside of Jacob Melanson. Ethan Belchetz, LW, Windsor (WHL) A former 1st-overall pick in the OHL draft, Belchetz has the size that every NHL team wants and needs – 6’5”, 228 lbs – and unafraid to use his size. The power in his shot makes him a threat in many situations – the 34 goals in 57 games this season speak for themselves. He is known for his shot and quick feet in tight situations, which generates more possession in the offensive zone – a category the Kraken desperately need help with. The fact he is a winger is a category the Kraken need to upgrade – after Jared McCann and Kaapo Kakko, there is a clear drop in talent level in the rest of the lineup. Belchetz is committed to Michigan State University for the 2026-27 season, which provides a year of development before any Entry Level Contract kicks in. This also gives another year for Belchetz to continue finding his game, battling against opponents with more size and grit in their game. One point worth noting is that Belchetz’s 2025-26 season was cut short, having suffered a broken left clavicle in March, causing him to miss the remaining 11 games plus the entire post season. Windsor made it to the Conference Finals – needless to say, his presence in the playoffs was sorely missed. It will be interesting to see how he finds his game upon his return to skating after such an intense injury at a young age. Brooks Rogowski, C, Oshawa (WHL) Like Belchetz, Rogowski bears size and height that every NHL player wishes they could have – at 6’6”, 236 lbs, he would instantly tower over many players. This is something that coaches cannot teach – and he is not afraid to use his size to his advantage. His height gives him an extended reach, allowing him to deke and maneuver around defenders easier, while also acting as a defensive forward with an extended reach for poke checks. He is known for his puck handling skills, which is a desirable skill to have as a forward. He is an asset on the penalty kill due to his defensive abilities, and his skill on the powerplay stems from his size and net-front presence – he is great at screening the goalie and unafraid of getting into the danger zone. The Kraken desperately need help with their special teams, so having a player of this stature would be a welcome addition. With the fact the Kraken have depth at the center position, this is a great time to develop a young player with these intangible skills – like Belchetz, he is committed to Michigan State University next year, which will provide the Kraken a year of watching him develop before deciding whether to have him spend a year in the AHL or bring him immediately up to compete with the “big boys”. He is currently known first and foremost for his defensive skills – while the Kraken are lacking in the offensive category, the old saying is “defense wins championships” – this pick would be an investment into the defensive style that coach Lambert loves to play.

Seattle Seahawks superstar wide receiver and Super Bowl champion Jaxon Smith-Njigba was the first Seahawks player to win Offensive Player of the Year since Shaun Alexander’s legendary 2005 season… …Or so we thought.
