After a 14-year NFL career that included 10 seasons with the Seahawks and a Super Bowl title, Russell Wilson announced he is stepping away from playing to become a television analyst on CBS Sports' NFL Today, signaling a move into broadcasting (not explicitly labeled retirement).
Russell Wilson announced his retirement after 14 NFL seasons with the Seahawks, Broncos, Steelers and Giants, capped by a 2013 Super Bowl title and multiple Pro Bowls, and he will join CBS Sports as an NFL Today analyst, bringing his extensive playing experience to the desk.
The Minnesota Vikings hired Seahawks assistant GM Nolan Teasley as their new general manager, a major loss for Seattle that also nets the Seahawks two extra third-round picks in 2027 and 2028 because Teasley is a minority executive; Teasley spent 13 years with Seattle after starting via internship and helped the franchise win two Super Bowls.
Seattle could receive two third-round compensatory picks if Nolan Teasley is judged Minnesota’s 'primary football executive' after being hired as the Vikings’ GM; the NFL’s rule requires that designation for the former team to qualify, but Minnesota has no clear equivalent to Atlanta’s 'primary football executive' role, a distinction that previously led to Bears’ challenges and remains unresolved, potentially shaping Seattle’s compensation depending on the Vikings’ internal structure.
The Minnesota Vikings have agreed to hire Nolan Teasley, a longtime Seahawks executive, to be their new general manager, replacing Kwesi Adofo-Mensah. Teasley spent 14 years in Seattle in pro personnel roles after starting as a scouting intern, and he played running back at Central Washington.

The Seahawks acquired wide receiver and special-teams standout Irvin Charles from the Jets in exchange for a 2028 conditional seventh-round pick, pending physical, and waived Trayvon Rudolph to clear roster space. Charles, a 6-4, 219-pound UDFA who played for the Jets in 2023-24 and missed 2025 with an ACL injury, adds WR/special-teams depth alongside Emmanuel Henderson Jr. as Seattle reshapes its return and coverage units.
The Seattle Seahawks acquired wide receiver/special-teamer Irvin Charles from the New York Jets for a conditional 2028 draft pick. Charles, 29, went undrafted in 2022, spent four seasons with the Jets, and logged 450 special-teams snaps plus 14 ST tackles across 2023–2024 (seven in 2023, seven in 2024) and a blocked punt before tearing his ACL in Week 14. He had 53 offensive snaps and no receptions. With Seattle’s established WR corps (Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Cooper Kupp, Rashid Shaheed, Tory Horton), Charles figures to contribute mainly on special teams and provide depth if injuries arise.
The Seattle Seahawks acquired Jets WR and top special-teams contributor Irvin Charles for a conditional seventh-round pick. Charles, a 6'4", 219-pound undrafted receiver who has spent his NFL career on special teams (450 snaps) and recently tore his ACL in Week 14 of 2024, joins a Seahawks WR group with depth, and is expected to contribute mainly on special teams as Seattle pursues another championship.
Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald says the team should 'run it forward'—focusing on process and continued growth rather than simply redoing their title run, with daily conversations about who they want to be as they head into the 2026 season and no sense of complacency.
After the draft and free agency, The Ringer ranks the Los Angeles Rams No. 1 in the 2026 offseason power rankings, led by a healthy Stafford and revamped secondary, with the Seattle Seahawks second and quarterback questions looming.

Jim Rome argues that the Week 1 Seahawks–Patriots game has been overshadowed by the focus on Patriots coach Mike Vrabel’s off-field saga and the surrounding media circus, suggesting the NFL prioritized spectacle over the on-field matchup.
The 2026 NFL season opens with a Super Bowl rematch between the Patriots and Seahawks in Week 1, chosen to maximize early-season viewership. NFL Media executive Hans Schroeder said the decision mirrors a recent rematch that drew strong ratings, reflecting the league’s data-driven strategy to start the year with a high-profile storyline and continuing a streak of opening with a previous year’s Super Bowl rematch.
The NFL is increasingly staging games on non-Sunday days to capitalize on TV revenue, and Seattle’s 2026 schedule embodies that shift: games on every day except Tuesday, starting with a Wednesday season opener, plus 10 Sundays, a Thursday night, two Monday nights, a Week 15 Saturday, a Friday Christmas game, and a final game on a weekend—mirroring a rare six-day pattern seen with the 2024 Chiefs and signaling a possible move toward a seven-day schedule.
Seattle’s 2026 slate is primetime-heavy for a defending champion, opening with a rematch vs. the Patriots that won’t look identical to the playoff version, a tough Thursday turnaround in Denver, an early AFC-heavy stretch for tiebreakers, favorable kickoff timing in several games, and a late-season run of three straight road games that will test Seattle’s bid to repeat.
