Ranking the 4 most-important free agents the Seahawks should re-sign in 2024

The players weren’t the problem.

The Seahawks are in the midst of interviewing candidates for their open head coach position for a reason. The shock of Pete Carroll’s removal may not have fully set in for many fans, but the hard truth is that Carroll’s team underperformed this season given the level of talent they had – and Carroll’s defenses had been below average far longer than that.

A coach who occasionally zigged where Carroll would have zagged could have won this team 2-3 more games this year and made the playoffs. That’s why Carroll is now an “advisor” for the team and someone else will be replacing him soon.

To put it another way, the players weren’t the problem.

The team’s salary cap situation won’t make it easy, but Seattle should try to retain at least a handful of defensive free agents who could push this team back into the postseason as soon as 2024 with the right leadership. Here are the top four they should re-sign.

12 outstanding individual Pro Football Focus grades for the Seahawks in Week 17

Sunday’s loss to the Steelers should be a sobering wakeup call.

The Seahawks have apparently used up all of their dramatic comeback win cards for the season. Sunday’s loss to the Steelers should be a sobering wakeup call for a team that had an all-time terrible tackling performance. In that part of the game, only off-ball linebacker Devin Bush showed any real promise – and his PFF grade reflects that. Seattle’s defense also got strong efforts from Leonard Williams and Jarran Reed up front and Riq Woolen outside. The rest of it was pretty ugly on that side of the ball, though.

Offensively, a familiar theme played out. While his numbers may not match what he did against Dallas, this was the third straight start for Geno Smith where he was under significant pressure by the opponent’s pass rush and still put together an incredibly impressive performance. Geno’s over-80 grade along with a solid game from the tight ends led the offense.

Here are 12 of the top individual PFF grades for the team this week.

Steelers vs Seahwks: 4 big storylines this week

The Steelers need another big game out of Mason Rudolph and the offense needs to shut Devin Bush up.

The playoffs are on the line this week for the Pittsburgh Steelers but when you dig a little deeper there are even more subplots at work that make this game a must-watch. Here are our big storylines to watch this week beyond the playoffs.

Here are seven things to know about these two teams heading into a critical Week 17 matchup.

Seahawks list Jordyn Brooks as questionable to return vs. Titans

Now the Seahawks are listing him as questionable to return with an ankle injury.

The Seahawks just started the second quarter of a scoreless classic trap game against the Titans. More bad news – Jordyn Brooks may be done for the day.

Brooks was spotted on the CBS broadcast limping off the field with the aid of two trainers then put in the blue medical tent. Now the Seahawks are listing him as questionable to return with an ankle injury.

The next man up at linebacker for Seattle is Devin Bush, who was already putting in a significant role as a big nickel linebacker against the Titans run game. Now Bush will be gettting an even more significant role, at least as long as Brooks remains out.

The Titans lead 7-0 courtesy of a trick play touchdown pass by Derrick Henry.

Seahawks LB Devin Bush mocks former team after loss

Devin Bush took to Twitter to take a shot at his former team.

The Pittsburgh Steelers reached a new low for the season on Saturday with their 31-10 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. The loss dropped the Steelers to 7-7 and out of the playoff picture but it was more about how poorly the team has played the last three weeks than the ultimate outcome.

This brought former Steelers linebacker and current Seattle Seahawks linebacker Devin Bush out of hibernation to mock the team via Twitter when he sent this out just after the Steelers game ended.

It’s easy for Bush to punch down on the Steelers now that he’s on another team. Pittsburgh traded up to get Bush and he’s turned out to be maybe the biggest NFL draft bust of the Kevin Colbert era. Bush signed with Seattle to try and get his career on track but it’s been more of the same. Bush has three tackles this season and seems to be no better off there. But keep sending out those tweets.

Seahawks Week 2 injury report: 3 players DNP

Some positive news on the injury front

The Seattle Seahawks are licking their wounds following their embarrassing 30-13 home opening loss to the Los Angeles Rams… both literally and figuratively. Unfortunately, right tackle Abe Lucas has been moved to injured reserve. Despite an initial positive(ish) report after the game, it seems Lucas’ knee issue is far more serious than initially thought.

The good news is strong safety Jamal Adams and cornerback Devon Witherspoon are back in action, somewhat. This will be a very telling week to see if they can finally make their 2023 debut against the Detroit Lions.

The full injury report goes as follows:

Here’s a few injury updates we got from Carroll and the beat writers on Wednesday.

We won’t see the first Seahawks injury report of the season until next Wednesday, so for now we have to rely on what head coach Pete Carroll deems to share with the media after practice.

Here’s a few injury updates we got from Carroll and the beat writers on Wednesday.

Pete Carroll: Devin Bush suffered a concussion vs. Packers

Head coach Pete Carroll told reporters Bush suffered a concussion.

The Seahawks did not escape today’s preseason finale against the Packers unscathed. They lost the game 19-15, and also suffered what sound like a few relatively minor injuries. The one possible exception there is linebacker Devin Bush, who had to leave the game after getting hurt on a punt.

After it was over, head coach Pete Carroll told reporters Bush suffered a concussion. He also says safety Joey Blount left with a shoulder injury.

Bush was expected to take over the starting inside linebacker spot next to Bobby Wagner when the season started.

However, Jordyn Brooks recently was activated from the PUP list and appears to be ready to resume his duties – Carroll told reporters after the game he’d be “shocked” if Brooks isn’t playing Week 1 against the Rams.

Devin Bush posts highest PFF grade for Seahawks in Preseason Week 1

Here are the best and worst performers on both sides of the ball this week according to PFF.

A lot may be riding on how Devin Bush performs for the Seattle Seahawks early on during the 2023 season. With Jordyn Brooks still on the PUP list with an ACL injury, odds are Bush will wind up starting next to Bobby Wagner at inside linebacker when Week 1 comes around.

Seattle got good news from its first preseason game of the year on this score, as Bush balled out in the Seahawks’ 24-13 win over the Vikings on Thursday night. On film Bush was stout against the run and it seems the analysts at Pro Football Focus agree. Bush posted the highest overall grade on the team this week, aided by a high mark in run defense.
