The Seattle Seahawks have some explaining to do after a controversial offseason. Legendary linebacker Bobby Wagner claims the franchise didn’t contact him before releasing Wagner on Tuesday. [Join the Yahoo Fantasy Tourney Pick’Em $25K Best Bracket Contest] Wagner — who spent 10 seasons with Seattle — said the team did not reach out to let him know he was being released. It is not required for teams to reach out to players and notify them before making roster decisions, so the Seahawks… Source link

There’s one word to describe what happened with the mostly surprising results of Week 9 in the NFL: Brutal. After rolling of late with our game picks and predictions against the spread, Vegas put up a few traps and it was hard to avoid falling into all of them. At first glance, the numbers for Week 10 seem a little more normal and manageable, but there are several more essential “pick ’em” matchups on the slate with slight favorites on one side. There are 14 more chances to get things… Source link

The next step in the Odell Beckham Jr. saga will unfold on Tuesday afternoon when the wide receiver passes through NFL waivers. Teams will have until 4 p.m. ET to submit a claim for the recently-released Beckham and the $7.25 million remaining on his 2021 salary. There is certainly interest in Beckham’s services, but it’s unclear if he will be claimed. That said, it seems like the Seahawks could be among the teams considering adding him by using a waiver claim. MORE: What happened with… Source link

Seattle Seahawks defensive end Aldon Smith is now wanted by police in connection with an incident of battery that occurred Saturday, April 17 in Louisiana. St. Bernard Parish District Attorney Perry M. Nicosia confirmed to Yahoo Sports that a warrant has been sworn out for Smith’s arrest in connection with an incident at the French Press Coffee House in Chalmette, Louisiana. Smith is wanted for second degree battery. According to parish officials, Smith does not have a local address, but does… Source link

As a sense of unease and dysfunction hovers over the relationship between Russell Wilson and the Seahawks, a persistent question emerges regarding the aftermath of a potential trade. If Wilson goes, who replaces him at quarterback? The Seahawks don’t keep a highly-competent backup on the roster, surely due in part to the fact that Wilson never misses games. There’s also a vague notion that coach Pete Carroll’s “always compete” mantra doesn’t apply to the QB1 position. (It will be… Source link

A few weeks into the season, Russell Wilson looked like he’d go wire-to-wire in the MVP race. By the end of the season, nobody could know what to expect from the Seattle Seahawks’ passing game in the playoffs. Wilson and the Seahawks take on the Los Angeles Rams in a wild-card matchup on Saturday afternoon, a game that can be live-streamed on the Yahoo Sports app. The Rams have quarterback issues. Jared Goff will be less than two weeks removed from thumb surgery. If he can’t go, John… Source link

Russell Wilson’s waning MVP campaign likely took its last breath on Sunday. With a chance to maintain control of the NFC West, the Seattle Seahawks dropped a massive dud at home in a stunning 17-12 loss to the New York Giants. Led by an aggressive defense and an offense helmed by backup quarterback Colt McCoy that did just enough, the Giants scored the first win of the season for the NFC East against a team with a winning record. And they did it on the road. No Russell Wilson rally this… Source link

It’s understandable why we want to make excuses for Carson Wentz. Wentz was a dynamic player for the Philadelphia Eagles in 2017 before a season-ending knee injury. He was a leading candidate for MVP. Patrick Mahomes was still at Texas Tech, and Wentz was considered the future of the NFL. It’s hard to believe that player we saw early in his career has fallen off. We’d rather blame his lack of a supporting cast. Wentz’s play has fallen off. We’ve heard all about how his offensive line… Source link

Russell Wilson got some much-needed help in the kitchen. Letting Russ cook this season was the right move by the Seattle Seahawks, but the last couple weeks, he looked like a player who was putting everything on his shoulders. He had good reason. Due to injuries, Seattle had no reliable run game, and the Seahawks defense has been bad all year. On Thursday night, the Seahawks looked like a team, and not just a quarterback trying to make up for countless deficiencies. Seattle ran the ball well…. Source link
