Seahawks fans are likely in for a rough year. Like it or not, this team took a huge hit by trading Russell Wilson and until they find another franchise quarterback it’s unlikely they’ll return to the playoffs.
Nate Davis at USA TODAY has predicted each NFL team’s record for this coming season. For Seattle, he’s projecting a 5-12 record and another fourth-place finish in the NFC West.
“Seattle Seahawks (5-12): Expect recommittal to highly competitive practices, staunch defense and a relentless run game as Pete Carroll and Co. reboot following the exits of Wilson and defensive captain Bobby Wagner. Seattle went 7-9 the year before that dynamic duo arrived in 2012, however RB Marshawn Lynch was already in the Pacific Northwest along with a rising Legion of Boom. Little evidence Carroll has that kind young bedrock in place now.”
