Seattle Seahawks 2025 Season Preview: Star Players, Key Matchups & Where to Watch
2024 was a frustrating year for football fans in Washington. Ten wins and missing the playoffs was a tough break for the beloved Seahawks.
Still, cracks in the roster were visible throughout the season, prompting a full retooling of the offense this offseason. A new coordinator, a fresh QB1, and a revamped wide receiver group will give this unit a very different look in 2025.
Meanwhile, Mike Macdonald and his staff will be counting on continued growth from the defense in year two, with a return to the postseason well within reach.

Pittsburghâs home opener, after going all-in this offseason, will no doubt be a brutal atmosphere for Seattle to play in. If they can get a win here, it would make a statement to the rest of the league that theyâre back to their best.

đ§ Final Thought: Can they get back into the postseason?
Thereâs plenty of talent on this roster to suggest a return to the playoffs is within reach. The biggest concern is the amount of fresh blood on offense, which may take time to gel. Thereâs also a real possibility that Sam Darnold struggles outside of Kevin OâConnellâs system, potentially setting the team back to square one. Upgrades to the offensive line should help, but with the rest of the NFC West making big strides this offseason, Seattle canât afford to fall behind.đČ Donât miss a moment â bookmark our Seattle Seahawks Team Page to stay up-to-date all season long.
