The Seattle roster continues to be a bit underwhelming, but Russell Wilson carries them through year in and year out. The defense isn't as strong as it used to be and they lost Jadaveon Clowney to free agency and then had a questionable draft to follow. Now they did add Bruce Irvin, but that might not be enough to swing this defense back into being one of the best. The offense failed to address a below-average offensive line and getting a long term tight end. They did bring in Greg Olsen this offseason, hoping to get one more good year out of the veteran.

The Seahawks had another successful season in 2019 with an 11-5 record, making the playoffs for the second straight year and seventh time in eight years. However, Seattle has not won the NFC West since 2016, and with the 49ers, Rams, and Cardinals all on the come-up as a franchise, the Seahawks suddenly find themselves in the most competitive division in the NFL. The presence of Russell Wilson, who is arguably the best quarterback in the NFL, means the Seahawks will always be one of the better teams in football, although the supporting roster around him is a bit underwhelming. Seattle lost several veteran players in free agency, including Jadeveon Clowney who was one of the better pass-rushers in the NFL last season. The additions of tight end Greg Olsen, running back Carlos Hyde, and offensive linemen Mike Iupati, Cedric Ogbuehi, and B.J. Finney should bolster the offense. Quinton Dunbar, another offseason acquisition, should be a difference-maker right away in the secondary. The Seahawks had a solid draft with some high-upside long-term players. The team should have solid playoff odds despite their tough division, but this roster may not have the high-level talent needed for a
The Seahawks' highest-paid player heading into the 2020 season is Russell Wilson, the veteran quarterback who carries a $31 million cap hit for this season. He's one of the highest-paid quarterbacks in the NFL and he's well worth it as one of the best players at his position.
Paul Allen was the owner of the Seahawks since 1997, and he's most famous for being the co-founder of Microsoft. He passed away in 2018 and left behind the Seahawks franchise to a family trust which is headed by his sister Jody Allen.
Pete Caroll is entering his tenth season as the Seahawks' head coach. His last losing season with the team came in 2011 and he's won two NFC Championships as the head coach with one Super Bowl win. He was previously the head coach of USC, the Patriots, and the Jets.
The Seahawks currently have about $13.9 million in available salary-cap space, which is the 16th-most in the NFL. They only have $5.5 million in dead-cap money and five contracts with a cap hit of $10+ million, but Russell Wilson's contract hurts their financial flexibility.
Clowney, the former first overall pick in the 2014 draft, was traded to the Seahawks in 2019. He is now a free agent, and while the Seahawks surely would like to resign him, the two sides reportedly haven't spoken in months. He most likely will not be back with the team.
The Seahawks have several players on their roster who are 21 years old including fourth-round picks DeeJay Dallas (running back, Miami) and Colby Parkinson (tight end, Stanford) as well as sixth-round picks Travis Homer (2019) (running back, Miami) and Freddie Swain (wide receiver, Florida).
The oldest player on the Seahawks' roster is tight end Greg Olsen who was signed in free agency this offseason. The three-time Pro Bowl tight end previously spent time with the Chicago Bears and Carolina Panthers. He is now 35 years old.
