New: My #Seahawks notes from the NFL Scouting Combine on John Schneider’s new approach to scouting the drills, battling to keep the Super Bowl MVP, the possibility of keeping the secondary intact, White House visit + more www.nytimes.com/athletic/707...

Seahawks moves:

• Tendered exclusive rights free agents safety Ty Okada and running back George Holani.

Keeps both players around for 2026

Seahawks expect invitation to White House, will wait to decide on visit (Gift Article) The Seahawks visited the White House in May 2014, while President Barack Obama was in office, following their victory in Super Bowl 48.

New: The #Seahawks haven't yet received an invitation to the White House. When it comes, Mike Macdonald says, they'll "address" whether they're going to attend. www.nytimes.com/athletic/707...

New: John Schneider has quite the puzzle to put together this offseason. He wants to keep everyone and go for a 2nd straight Super Bowl, but that’s unrealistic.

Between the 2022 draft class + Rashid Shaheed the #Seahawks have some decisions to make. www.nytimes.com/athletic/706...

How much could the Seahawks’ free agents cost? Here’s how the market might look For Seahawks GM John Schneider, this week is as much about canvassing the market as it is about scouting draft prospects.

New, from Indy: John Schneider often uses the NFL Scouting Combine to chat with agents and folks from other teams. A topic during those talks: contract markets.

Here's a look at the RB, WR, CB markets & how they may impact the #Seahawks moves. www.nytimes.com/athletic/706...

New: The #Seahawks intend to repeat as Super Bowl champs. That’s hard to do, of course.

There are several obstacles in their way, starting with having a new offensive coordinator. Keeping the roster together won’t be easy, either. www.nytimes.com/athletic/704...

Seattle Seahawks begin sale process, less than 2 weeks after winning Super Bowl The estate of Paul G. Allen said in a statement that the process of selling the Seahawks is expected to continue through the 2026 offseason.

The Seahawks' championship parade will be Wednesday

New: On this night of tequila-drinking, beer-sipping, dancing, hugging, rapping, partying and selfie-snapping, the #Seahawks Dark Side defense became immortal.

They knew they were too much for the Patriots offense. They showed it in the Super Bowl. www.nytimes.com/athletic/703...

New: The Seahawks are Super Bowl champions because they blocked out the noise and focused the mission. That's why they're the M.O.B. -- Mission Over Bullshit.

The mission is complete. This is the story of how they got it done. www.nytimes.com/athletic/703...

Another LOB-era to MOB-era connection at the Super Bowl: Ricardo Lockette linking up with Dareke Young.

Ricardo, an HBCU grad, wore 83 and made a name on special teams. Dareke Young, also a DII college grad, wears 83 now & is a valuable special teamer

Seahawks moves for the Super Bowl:

• elevated running backs Cam Akers and Velus Jones Jr.

Seahawks are listing Robbie Ouzts as questionable for the Super Bowl. No one else has a game designation, including Nick Emmanwori, who practiced today.

Seahawks in good shape for Sunday

New: Jaxon Smith-Njigba's full name is a mouthful, so most call him Jax. Others say JSN.

Those close to him have long known him by a different nickname, one that's becoming more and more appropriate as he keeps making history.

"Best in the world." www.nytimes.com/athletic/702...

JSN is the AP Offensive Player of the Year. He is the second Seahawks player to win the award (Shaun Alexander).

Quite the year for JSN:
-- Receiving king
-- Pro Bowl
-- Unanimous first-team All-Pro
-- Offensive Player of the Year

New: #Seahawks rookie Nick Emmanwori has a low-ankle sprain but plan is for him to play in the Super Bowl, with no limitations.

“I expect to play on Sunday,” Nick says www.nytimes.com/athletic/702...

More from Macdonald: “Just gotta make sure we handle it the right way. Probably going to be over-careful and overcautious to make sure we’re rolling going into the weekend.”

Mike Macdonald on Nick Emmanwori: “Not sure how extensive, if at all, he’s going to practice. But he’s confident. Got a great plan. Fully expect him to play. He’s doing great and moving around.“

Nick Emmanwori has a low-ankle sprain, Mike Macdonald says. He is expected to play in the Super Bowl. “He’s doing great and moving around.”

Emmanwori will participate in the walkthrough today. Practice status is TBD. They’ll monitor it thru the weekend but expectation is he plays.

New: Jarran Reed is the connective tissue between the LOB and MOB eras of the #Seahawks.

For Seattle's Super Bowl team, J Reed is an emotional leader, motivational speaker, tone-setter and the biggest dog on the yard. When he speaks, everyone listens. www.nytimes.com/athletic/702...

New: Mike Macdonald changed the #Seahawks when he arrived in January 2024. Ernest Jones IV changed them when he arrived later that same year.
