After a surprising season where many expected that the Seattle Seahawks were on the verge of deconstructing their Super Bowl contending roster, the team was able to sneak into the playoffs with a 10-6 record before losing to the Dallas Cowboys in the wild card round.

Heading into the 2019 offseason, the Seahawks still have a plethora of holes along the offensive line that need to be addressed as well as the secondary as it appears that Earl Thomas will depart a year after fellow Legion of Boomers Kam Chancellor and Richard Sherman.
