Seattle Seahawks: Top 5 needs for the 2020 offseason
By Andrew Kim
Here are the top 5 needs for the Seattle Seahawks in the 2020 offseason as they will have to revamp their defense and get more offensive line help.
The 11-5 Seahawks are looking to make the playoffs again this season, as they settled for a wildcard spot once again. The competition in the NFC West should not be any easier, as they have been 2nd in their division since 2016.
General manager John Schneider and head coach Pete Carroll need to get more talent at a few positions if they want to lead the division this year.
The 13-3 San Francisco 49ers were the Super Bowl runner-ups and are looking for revenge this season after coming up short. The 9-7 Los Angeles Rams could not do enough to surpass a down season after making the Super Bowl two seasons ago. The 5-10-1 Arizona Cardinals had a decent first season, considering they had a new head coach Kliff Kingsbury and a rookie quarterback Kyler Murray leading the team.
The 2014 and 2015 Super Bowl runs seem like a distant memory, as Seattle’s window to making another championship is starting to close just a bit. Russell Wilson can only do so much with limited protection and the defense has struggled since the “Legion of Boom” days.
Here are previews on what their options are and a couple of needs the Seahawks have to address in the offseason.
