The market for former Seattle Seahawks cornerback Riq Woolen evidently was not a hot one. While he isn’t going to re-sign with the Seahawks, he’s not even signing a multi-year contract elsewhere. Nevertheless, Woolen is going to another strong defense in the Philadelphia Eagles. Given the Eagles had a hard time replacing their Super Bowl […]
Everyone needs a break every now and then, right? Well, the Winnipeg Jets certainly seemed to have put the 3 week Olympic break to good use, as the franchise has yet to play a game since then where the True Northers didn’t walk away with points. The Manitobans have a 4-0-2 record since goalie Connor Hellebuyck won a gold medal in Italy and that has launched a new belief that they could comeback to steal the Western Conference’s final wildcard spot.
The Seattle Kraken have provided some as...
While losing reigning Super Bowl MVP running back, Kenneth Walker III may have felt like a gut punch, the offseason acquisition window for the Seattle Seahawks is far, far away from being over. Seattle is rumored to be weighing one option in particular to join the Pacific Northwest galaxy of stars that just won a […]
With their best players playing elsewhere, the Kansas City Royals are 6-9 (nice). And in today’s contest, they’ll face a team with a worse Spring Training record: the 4-12 Seattle Mariners. It’s the Battle for Grass Creek, in other words, but a preseason version. The Royals will send Cole Ragans to the mound. As a […]
It’s been an…interesting day around Mariners camp, today’s lineup notwithstanding. Righty Cooper Criswell gets the nod to continue making his case for a spot in the Mariners’ bullpen. Lineups: Also scheduled to pitch for the Mariners: Michael Rucker, Cole Wilcox, Casey Legumina, and Robinson Ortiz Roster moves: The Mariners re-assigned RHP Gabe Mosser, OF Jared […]
In 2013 the New York Jets drafted Geno Smith in the second round. The Oxford dictionary defines drafted as to “select a person and bring them somewhere for a specific purpose.” What that purpose is remains to be seen, but it is my absolute honor to announce that for the second time, the New York […]
On the way up to the plate for his first at-bat in a pivotal matchup between 2-0 Mexico and 2-0 USA last night, Mariners left-fielder Randy Arozarena looked down to say hello to Team USA catcher Cal Raleigh. Hoping for handshake or a quick dap, what Randy got back was nothing at all. After the […]
Yesterday’s thrilling US-Mexico game was spoiled for many Mariners fans by the awkward interaction between Cal Raleigh and Randy Arozarena, which Nick will have a full piece breaking down with quotes from Dan Wilson later. For now, here’s a brief summary of what happened in Day 3 of the WBC, and a guide to watching […]
MLS recently released General Allocation Money totals for each team but, at least as far as the Sounders are concerned, it was a little deceiving.
Last January’s premiere signing out of Venezuela, Bautista entered the system with high praise amongst scouts familiar with his game. Lauded as perhaps the highest ceiling player in the entire class, Bautista lay claim to potentially plus power, 70-grade run times, and a howitzer of an arm in the outfield. The only real thing missing […]
The gates opened on the legal tampering period at noon Monday, and the deals came fast and furious. For the Seattle Seahawks, things got off to a less than desirable start, with both Ken Walker and Coby Bryant agreeing to terms with other teams. News then turned to the better for Seattle fans, with reports […]
The New Orleans Saints had some big signings on the first day of free agency, but one of the more under-the-radar ones was in the TE room. Last offseason, the Saints re-signed Juwan Johnson to a big contract, but many fans wanted more done. One of the available names was former Seattle Seahawks TE Noah […]
Happy Tuesday! The Mariners fell just short in a 1-2 walkoff loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks yesterday, but starter Bryan Woo impressed through four innings with three hits, no walks, and four strikeouts. The Mariners will face the Kansas City Royals at 1:10 PM this afternoon as RHP Cooper Criswell takes the mound. With another […]
As the dust settles on a glorious and unrivaled title run for the 2025 Seattle Seahawks, the 2026 version of the team will need to get used to going from the ‘hunters’ to the ‘hunted’. The NFC West rival, Los Angeles Rams, have started stacking roster transactions to move into championship position. Who could blame […]
In Today’s Links: lots of information, breakdowns, and takeaways from the first day of free agency for our Seattle Seahawks and the rest of the NFL. Comp picks are some of the rewards, but let’s wave goodbye to old friends, say hello to the ones who are sticking around, and wait for new the new […]
As has been pretty much expected for weeks, the Seattle Seahawks will need a new starting running back following the free agent departure of Kenneth Walker III. The Super Bowl MVP—we’re obligated to remind everyone that the Seahawks won the Super Bowl—signed a lucrative contract with the Kansas City Chiefs, who need all the running […]
The first day of the NFL’s free agency legal tampering period brought big headlines to the NFC West. The Los Angeles Rams broke the ice late last week when they unofficially completed their trade for ex-Kansas City Chiefs corner Trent McDuffie and then signed him to a massive contract extension. Since then the dominoes continue […]
Kade Anderson’s fastball is neither fast nor shapely, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t good. Anderson’s first two outings this Spring have been somewhat controversial. He’s earned rave reviews from the Mariners and the media, but the underlying data has lagged behind. Public “stuff” models are somewhat skeptical of his arsenal, and his vaunted fastball […]
At a time when his rotation-mates are relishing the opportunity, while their catcher is away at the WBC, to try out new tricks, Bryan Woo is dancing with the one that brought him. Woo looked sharp today in his third spring outing: his pitches were crisp, well-located, and thrown with conviction. He opened with a […]
Record 8-9. Change on 2025: +0.5. 5-inning record: 4-11-2. The pitching was on point for both teams this afternoon. For Arizona, that meant starting with three perfect innings from Zac Gallen, who struck out a trio as he retired all nine batters faced. It took him 41 pitches to get there, and was probably the […]
The Seattle Seahawks won Super Bowl LX, thumping the New England Patriots 29-13, in large part because of a run game that dominated the defensive front of the Pats. However, a big piece of that dominance up front for the Seahawks came from the fact that the Pats defense had to respect the deep threat […]
Amidst all the free agency chaos during the new league year, another key piece of information was released; 2026 NFL Draft Compensatory Picks. As expected, the Seattle Seahawks received no compensatory picks for 2026 and will have four draft picks (rounds 1, 2, 3, and 6) barring any trades. By the way, the highest awarded […]
Chiefs News Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III Leaves Seattle, Signs Three-Year Deal With Kansas City Chiefs Running back Kenneth Walker III is leaving the Seattle Seahawks after four seasons, agreeing to a three-year contract worth up to $45 million with the Kansas City Chiefs, NFL Network Insiders Tom Pelissero, Ian Rapoport, and Mike Garafolo [...]
The Seattle Seahawks are losing another member of their Super Bowl winning defense, this time to the AFC North. Boye Mafe has agreed to a 3-year deal with the Cincinnati Bengals, worth $20 million a year, according to his agent Mike MacCartney. Mafe becomes the third member of the Seahawks’ 2022 draft class to leave […]
As I write this, I am watching the Great Britain baseball team take on Brazil in the World Baseball Classic. While both sides have been eliminated, there’s still something to play for here: the winning country will automatically be entered the next WBC, without having to go through the qualification tournament. So this is definitely […]
