Kyle Terada-USA TODAY Sports The Seattle Seahawks haven’t made any big splash moves in free agency, but their approach to retooling the defensive line has involved some inexpensive signings of some familiar faces.
The 2020 NFL Draft is less than two weeks from kicking off and the Seahawks own seven picks – though general manager John Schneider is always looking to add more – and three of those picks are in the draft’s first two rounds.
A report this week indicated that Jadeveon Clowney is unlikely to return to the Seahawks and named the Browns as one of the teams in the mix for the free agent defensive end.

The Seahawks were able to win a playoff game and advance to the NFC’s divisional round in 2019, but after a 10-2 start and having a chance to earn the conference’s top seed, Seattle earning a wild card playoff berth and losing to the Green Bay Packers by one score in the second round was ultimately a disappointment.
In two weeks, John Schneider will participate in his 11th NFL draft as the Seahawks’ general manager, which got me to thinking. Why not assess how he’s done in his first 10 drafts by ranking them in a top 10?

The big discussion about this Seahawks offseason is centered around their pass rush. That’s resulted in an incredible amount of analysis and speculation looking at free-agent defensive end Jadeveon Clowney and other big-name pass rushers Seattle could bring in to replace him.
Ryan disputed whether Patriots coach Bill Belichick would have had the same level of success if he had a different quarterback than Tom Brady. Ryan used his former quarterback, Smith, as an example, and not in a positive light.
Seahawks receiver DK Metcalf is doing his part during the COVID-19 pandemic. Metcalf is donating $50,000 to relief efforts, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
The Seahawks decided they wanted to keep Jordan Simmons after all. The team announced they had brought back the guard, after declining to tender him as an exclusive rights free agent in March.
Tom Brady now plays in the NFC. So, too, does DeAndre Hopkins. Nick Foles is with the Bears, Emmanuel Sanders with the Saints and Teddy Bridgewater with the Panthers.
Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson‘s still out there lobbying Jadeveon Clowney, but that may not be enough. According to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, it appears the Seahawks’ chances of retaining the free agent defensive end are scarce, considering how far apart they are on dollars and cents (mostly dollars).
Even amid a global pandemic the NFL is drumming on, which means this year’s draft remains on schedule for April 23-25, though with substantial changes that include all front office personnel working remotely.
It's been five years since Seattle was one-yard shy of repeating as champion

Big plays from Seahawks cornerbacks have been lacking over the past few seasons, so Seattle hopes Quinton Dunbar can turn that trend around.
With interest growing for Jadeveon Clowney, it's looking more and more like he'll be leaving the Seahawks before the draft rolls around.
Although Bills general manager Brandon Beane and Greg Olsen were familiar with one another from their time together in Carolina, but it appears the two couldn't agree on a deal to bring the 35-year-old to Buffalo.
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought sports to a stop and left hospitals across the country scrambling due to a lack of space. As a result, one of the most popular NFL stadiums has now transformed into a field hospital.
One of the best players still available on the free-agent market is pass-rusher Jadeveon Clowney.
After a market failed to materialize for his services, Jadeveon Clowney is unsure where he'll land this offseason.
Teams being unable to host Clowney, who has been plagued with knee injuries throughout his career, on visits or have their medical staffs examine him in this unusual offseason may well be playing into this delay.
Seattle drafted Thompson in the fourth round out of Colorado in 2017 and after playing sparingly as a rookie he started 10 games in 2018.
Wilson took to Twitter to reveal that he and Ciara have partnered with Wheels Up on an initiative that has a goal of providing 10 million meals for Feeding America.
The National Football League on Thursday released a PSA featuring such superstars as Tom Brady and Russell Wilson in which the message “Stay Home, Stay Strong” is relayed amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
Russell Wilson wants the Seattle Seahawks to go retro and bring back an iteration of their classic uniforms, even if such a change won’t be possible until at least the 2021 NFL season.
