Seahawks Forever w/ Dan Viens

Chris Cluff of CHawk Talk joins the show to take a deeper look at the Seahawks’ long-term roster outlook through his detailed 3-year contract projection table.

Cluff spent years as a reporter for the Seattle Times, including Seattle’s 2005 Super Bowl run, and has written multiple books on the history of the franchise. Now he helps us zoom out beyond the current season and ask the bigger question:

How well are the Seahawks truly set up for a prolonged window of contention?

We’ll look at the young core, key contracts, future roster decisions, possible pressure points, and whether this championship-caliber team is built to stay near the top for years to come.

The final phase of Seahawks OTA’s is underway, and Mike Macdonald is already giving us some meaningful clues.

After laying out 10 things that matter during OTA’s on yesterday's show, we now have a few early answers: encouraging injury updates, a pass-rush contract that looks even better than it did when it was signed, and a new slogan/message pushing the defending champions forward as they try to repeat.

This is not about overreacting to practice. It is about identifying the storylines that could actually carry into training camp — and maybe into another championship run.

The Seahawks are ramping up the next phase of OTA’s, and while these practices won’t decide the season, they are not meaningless either.

There are position battles beginning to take shape, young players trying to force their way into bigger roles, veterans looking to secure jobs, and early clues about how Seattle’s roster, coaching staff, and depth chart may come together before training camp.

Today, I’m breaking down 10 Things That Matter as the Seahawks move deeper into OTA’s — the storylines, battles, and subtle signs I’ll be watching closely as the defending champs continue building toward the 2026 season.

The Seahawks are defending Super Bowl champions, but this offseason stretch could tell us a lot about whether they’re built for something even bigger.

In this Seahawks Forever Week In Review, catch up on the biggest topics from the past week: my full 2026 schedule prediction, my initial 53-man roster projection, Sam Darnold’s path toward becoming the greatest quarterback in Seahawks history, the NFC contenders outside the West who pose the biggest threat to Seattle, Los Angeles and San Francisco, and a Seahawks Syndicate roundtable discussion on whether this team is positioned to repeat — and maybe launch a dynasty.

The NFC West may still be one of the NFL’s power divisions, but the road to the Super Bowl will not run through the West uncontested.

In this week’s NFC West Mixtape, Rob “Stats” Guerrera joins me to look at the NFC teams outside the division that pose the biggest threat to the Seahawks, Rams and 49ers as legitimate conference contenders.

We’ll also dig into the latest buzz around a big-time NFC West pass rusher who could potentially be on the move, Sean McVay opening up about how close he came to walking away from the Rams, and what it all means for the balance of power in the NFC.

Seahawks, Rams, 49ers, Cardinals, contenders, trades, Super Bowl threats and plenty more on this week’s NFC West Mixtape.

Russell Wilson is clearly the greatest quarterback in Seahawks history. That part is not up for debate.

But after Sam Darnold’s first season in Seattle, there is a fascinating question worth asking: what would he actually have to do to eventually enter that conversation?

Today, I compare Sam’s first Seahawks season to where Russ stood at the same point in his career, then project what Darnold’s prime could look like if he keeps producing at this level. It sounds wild on the surface, but when you start stacking the numbers, the timeline, and the opportunity in front of him, the path is more interesting than most fans probably realize.

This is not about forcing a hot take. It’s about looking at what Sam has already done, what Russ became in Seattle, and what it would take for Darnold to someday have a real argument as the best quarterback in franchise history.

The Seahawks’ roster is starting to take shape, but the battle for the final 53 is where things get really interesting.

Today we’re going position by position through an offseason Seahawks 53-man roster projection, looking at who feels safely in, who is firmly on the bubble, which position groups could produce surprise cuts, and where Seattle may choose to go heavier or lighter than expected.

Who makes the cut? Who gets squeezed out? And how many surprises could be waiting when the Seahawks trim the roster down?

Drop your own 53-man roster projection in the comments.

My annual Seahawks schedule prediction show is here — and this one took an unexpected turn.

I went game-by-game through Seattle’s 2026 schedule, looking at the toughest stretches, worst matchups, short weeks, travel spots, divisional battles, and the games that could swing the entire season. And even though I tried to stay as objective as possible, the more I looked at this Seahawks team and this schedule… the more I started asking myself one question:

Am I crazy?

Maybe. But maybe the Seahawks are just better than people are ready to admit.

Join me as I make my full 2026 Seahawks record prediction and break down where this season could be won or lost.

Long-time Seattle sports journalist and radio host Danny O’Neil joins Seahawks Forever to break down the ongoing Seattle Seahawks sale process, the two ownership groups reportedly interested so far, and what the early signs may tell us about the market for the franchise.

Danny covered Seattle sports through the Sonics sale and relocation fight, so we also dig into the uncomfortable parallels: stadium pressure, ownership leverage, public funding questions, and how real the possibility is that a new Seahawks owner could eventually push for a new stadium beyond Lumen Field.

This is a big-picture conversation about the future of the franchise, the city, and what Seahawks fans should be paying attention to before the next owner is officially in place.
