Seahawks' Key Players Face Pressure in 2026

0:00On March 25th, the Seattle Seahawks are riding high after their Super Bowl win with most of the roster now-tasting championship glory. That experience means players get the grind needed to stay on top. Before Guy's face huge pressure in 2026, quarterback Jayden Milro, Rhyggar Anthony Bradford, running back Zach Charbonnet, and Lionbacker Drake Thomas. Their play could land big free agent deals or send them packing. Take Milro at quarterback. He's a solid talent with the right mindset, but he's stuck as the third stringer behind starter Sam Darnold, who's just 29 and locked in for. Two more years, plus backup Drew Locke. Without real game reps, Milro might thrive more on another team via trade, especially if he nails fundamentals in camp. Meanwhile, Bradford at Rhyggard has one year left on his rookie deal. The Seahawks believe in him enough to keep starting, but he gave up 30A pressures last season. Without big jumps and run blocking and pass protection, he risks getting cut to upgrade the line.

1:03Charbonnet is in a bind after tearing his ACL in the playoffs. Entering his final rookie year, he needs to return strong by week one and dominate as the top running back. Any setback at Scareoff Souders in 2027, Thomas steps up as a projected linebacker starter next to Ernest Jones. He's shown in coverage in pressures last year, but missed tackles at a 17.1% rate, fixing that keeps his spot secure and his contract intact. These players hold the key to keeping Seattle's title window wide open step up now, or watch a close fast.
