Burning Question: Can the offensive line give Russell Wilson some breathing room?
Bottom Line: The Seahawks have been a staple in the NFC playoff picture going back to 2012. The constant in all of those Seahawks teams are Russell Wilson, Pete Carroll and Bobby Wagner. These three have been a huge part of why the Seahawks are successful year in and year out.
Now is the time to get some new energy into Seattle. In comes Jamal Adams. The enigmatic, and sometimes problematic safety from LSU who comes to the Seahawks at the expense of two first round draft picks. This trade was a signal that the Seahawks see a window to win a championship. Jamal Adams is a guy that can make an impact right away and bring this defense to the next level.
The Seahawks will be a playoff team once again, but according to my projections come up just short of a Super Bowl appearance.
Predicted Win Range: 9-11
