The Seattle Seahawks has consistently been in the NFL off-season news cycle and this is not always a good thing. Not all press is good in this case. It is no secret that the relationship between the franchise’s quarterback Russell Wilson and the current Seahawks bosses are not exactly on the same page.
Russell Wilson made it very clear that he is not satisfied with who the Seahawks surrounded him after a year because of the crime. The main concern of Wilson and company is to fix the problems of the offensive line. Whether Seahawks meet these offensive line needs through a free agency or draft, this will be a priority and will likely be at the top of the list of needs.
Wilson would also like to get more consistency in the wide receiver room in 2021. DK Metcalf has emerged as one of the league’s best in the position, but at the same time, his counterpart Tyler Lockett is one of the league’s most inconsistent receivers in a week to week.
Analyzing the needs of the Seahawks team
Although the Seahawks have a series of holes to fill this off-season, they are still expected to be a candidate, assuming they keep Russel Wilson close. If the Seahawks really couldn’t solve the internal problems, they would be given a lot of choices and players for a player of the caliber Wilson is currently in.
The Seahawks currently have only four selections in the NFL’s 2021 Draft, after sending the choices of the first and third rounds of 2021 to the Jets to Jamal Adam. Because of this simulation, let’s assume that they agree with Russell Wilson and try to fix the ship with the next free and silent agency.
