A new era begins for the Seattle Seahawks.

After 14 years of Pete Carroll serving as both head coach and Executive Vice President of Football Operations, the reins have been handed over. Mike Macdonald is the new coach, while John Schneider adds President of Football Operations to his existing role as general manager.

The Seahawks finished 9-8 for a second consecutive season, but this time they did not get the help required to make the playoffs. Schneider believed the team underachieved, and obviously ownership felt changes need to be made. There are still changes to come to the Seahawks roster in the offseason, but to what extent and to which positions?

Geno Smith’s contract restructure and guaranteed salary make him more likely than not to be Seattle’s starting quarterback next season, but there’s still a chance he could be traded. His backup, Drew Lock, is an unrestricted free agent. Will Schneider re-sign him in the same role, or perhaps look to him as the next starter?

The most prominent free agent names are linebackers Jordyn Brooks and Bobby Wagner, as well as defensive lineman Leonard Williams. Seattle doesn’t have a second-round pick because of the Williams trade, so it’ll be interesting to see what the team does with ‘Big Cat.’

In the NFL Draft (Apr 25-27), the Seahawks are set to have seven picks, including a pair of third-rounders. They’re slated to be on the clock at No. 16 overall.
