Tomorrow
The Seahawks Super Bowl Film Drops Tomorrow. Jeffrey Dean Morgan Is Narrating. You Have No Other Plans.
Clear your Wednesday evening. Cancel your meetings. Tell your family you’ll be emotionally unavailable for 75 minutes. Super Bowl Champions: The 2025 Seattle Seahawks premieres tomorrow, March 18, on The Roku Channel, and it’s free. No subscription. No catch. Just you, your couch, and Negan’s voice narrating the best season of your adult life.
The 75-minute documentary, produced by NFL Films in association with BD4, features extended highlights from the 29-13 Super Bowl LX win over New England, championship parade footage, and what NFL Media is calling the largest compilation of player and coach wired sound ever assembled for a championship documentary. That means you’re going to hear exactly what DeMarcus Lawrence said when Uchenna Nwosu picked off Drake Maye for the pick-six. You’re going to hear what Mike Macdonald told the defense at halftime. You are, in all likelihood, going to cry on your couch while a man best known for beating people with a baseball bat named Lucille narrates Kenneth Walker’s MVP performance.
Jeffrey Dean Morgan, a Seattle native, was the obvious choice. The man congratulated the Seahawks on social media roughly four seconds after the final whistle. He’s one of us. He understands. And if his voice doesn’t make you feel things during the fourth-quarter montage, you should probably check to make sure you still have a pulse.
The timing is perfect. Free agency has been a slow bleed of familiar names leaving town. The edge room looks like a FEMA disaster zone. We could all use a reminder of what this team just did five weeks ago. Tomorrow, we get one.

Edge Watch
The Greenard Trade Still Hasn’t Happened. The Eagles Are Still Circling. And Seattle’s Still Waiting By The Phone.
Keep Reading ↓
Jordan Schultz told 105.3 The FAN on March 13 that Minnesota is actively trying to move Greenard and has multiple suitors. The ask remains a Day 2 pick. The complication remains Greenard’s contract: he wants a raise on his current $19 million annual salary, and any acquiring team would need to factor an extension into the trade cost. Dianna Russini of The Athletic reported that the Eagles remain in contact with Greenard’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, about a potential extension if a trade gets done. That’s not casual interest. That’s engagement-ring shopping.
The fresh wrinkle: Greenard was just named to the NFLPA’s new executive committee. Which is a nice honor for a guy whose employer is openly trying to send him somewhere else. It’s like getting promoted to VP of a company that’s already packed your desk into a box.
For Seattle, the math hasn’t changed. Hendrickson is in Baltimore. Mack signed with the Chargers. Mafe’s in Cincinnati. Lawrence is somewhere between a retirement party and a sixth-child celebration. If Greenard goes to Philly, the Seahawks’ edge rusher plan for 2026 is Nwosu (a cut candidate they may now have to keep), Derick Hall, and whatever name they can find at pick 32 or 64. That’s not a plan. That’s a hope.

March Madness
Five Seahawks Went To Alabama. Four Went To Michigan. Field Gulls Made A Bracket Out Of It.
Keep Reading ↓
Alabama leads the way with five Seahawks alums. Michigan is next with four. It’s a methodology that is, statistically speaking, no worse than picking based on mascot toughness or jersey color. And if you’re an Auburn fan on the Seahawks roster (Derick Hall, Nehemiah Pritchett, Noah Igbinoghene), you’re out of luck: the Tigers missed the tournament. Same for Yale (Rodney Thomas II) and Montana (Patrick O’Connell).
The best part of this exercise is that it gives the locker room actual stakes in March. Imagine the group chat when Alabama draws Michigan in the Sweet 16. Five guys versus four, with bragging rights on the line and zero impact on anything that matters. Sports at their absolute purest.
Meanwhile, both Washington and Washington State missed the tournament entirely, which is the most Pacific Northwest thing possible. We can win a Super Bowl but we cannot produce a basketball team that survives conference play. Some things are just load-bearing pillars of regional identity.

AROUND THE COOP
Around the Coop
Kamara watch, day who-knows: Alvin Kamara is still under contract with the Saints, still technically not a free agent, and still the subject of league-wide curiosity. Saints coach Kellen Moore was asked about Kamara’s future after signing Travis Etienne and offered the cryptic gem: “We’d like to go through that process, certainly.” Inspiring stuff. Kamara rushed for a career-low 471 yards last season and the Saints just handed Etienne a four-year, $52 million deal. At some point, “going through the process” means going through the exit.

Rodney Thomas II explains why he signed: The new safety told Seahawks.com that he was drawn to the team’s brotherhood, saying “you can’t tell who made the play because everybody’s that excited for the guy beside them.” Thomas had 114 tackles and six interceptions over four seasons in Indianapolis. He’s not Coby Bryant, but he watched the tape and liked what he saw. Sometimes that’s enough. Heavy
The Nick Bosa restructure is Joey Bosa bait: The 49ers restructured Nick Bosa’s contract on Saturday, clearing $17.1 million in 2026 cap space. Joey Bosa remains unsigned as a free agent after recording 5 sacks with Buffalo in 2025. Nick’s mom posted something cryptic on Instagram. Cheryl Bosa is operating at an intelligence-gathering level that would make most NFL front offices jealous. The Bosa family reunion watch is firmly on. Heavy
CBS gave the Rams an A- for their offseason: CBS Sports’ offseason report card praised L.A. for the Trent McDuffie trade and Jaylen Watson signing. Turf Show Times is already calling them the best roster in football. ESPN noted the Rams fell short in a “wild Week 16 Thursday night loss” and then lost to Seattle again in the NFC Championship. So they’re the best roster in football minus the one that actually won the Super Bowl. But sure, A-minus. CBS Sports
NFC WEST SCHADENFREUDE REPORT
RAMS
Rams GM Les Snead held a presser and explained the team’s entire offseason philosophy: use free agency so you’re not desperate in the draft. A novel concept from the franchise that just traded a first-round pick for a cornerback. The Rams now hold just the 13th overall pick after sending No. 29 to Kansas City in the McDuffie deal. Mock drafts have them targeting a wide receiver because Davante Adams is turning 34 and dealt with hamstring issues in the playoffs. So the plan to maximize 39-year-old Matthew Stafford now involves hoping a rookie receiver can replace an aging All-Pro while Puka Nacua still doesn’t have a new contract. The Rams’ big offseason move was addressing their secondary, and their biggest remaining question is whether the punt returner who muffed the ball in the NFC Championship will still have a job. Xavier Smith’s hands cost L.A. a Super Bowl trip. That’s going to be a fun training camp competition.
NINERS
The 49ers are now firmly in the Bosa Brothers Cinematic Universe. After restructuring Nick’s deal to free up $17.1 million, San Francisco is being linked to free agent Joey Bosa, who had 5 sacks and 5 forced fumbles with Buffalo last year. This is the team that finished dead last in the NFL with 20 sacks in 2025, then watched Bryce Huff retire at 27 to go sell lithium batteries. Their answer so far: re-sign Dre Greenlaw (10 games since his Achilles tear in Super Bowl LVIII), trade for Osa Odighizuwa (a defensive tackle, not an edge rusher), sign Christian Kirk and Nate Hobbs, and… hope Nick’s mom can close the deal on Joey. Meanwhile, Brandon Aiyuk remains on the roster in a state of contractual purgatory. The 49ers voided $27 million in guarantees, he declined to file a grievance, and now they’re holding him hostage hoping someone offers a late-round pick. San Francisco paid Aiyuk $48 million for 25 receptions. Somewhere, a math teacher is weeping.
CARDINALS
The Aaron Rodgers-to-Arizona discourse has reached the “Mike Florio says it could happen” stage, which is the NFL rumor equivalent of a Yelp review with one star that says “never been here but it looks bad.” Pro Football Talk reported that the Cardinals might be the only non-Pittsburgh option left for Rodgers. The connection: offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett, who was originally hired by Denver to lure Rodgers there. That plan produced a 4-11 season and got Hackett fired before Christmas. Rodgers himself told Pat McAfee there’s “no contract offer or anything” and he’s “enjoying my time with my wife.” The Cardinals, who went 3-14 last year and currently employ Jacoby Brissett and Gardner Minshew, are apparently Plan B for a 42-year-old quarterback whose Plan A is maybe just retiring. This franchise is speedrunning irrelevance with a grace that borders on artistry.
SEACHICKENS TRIVIA
The Seahawks became the first Super Bowl champion to complete an entire postseason without committing a turnover in 2025. Before that historic run, the team’s defense was anchored by the interior duo of Leonard Williams and Byron Murphy II, who combined for 14 sacks during the regular season. Williams was originally the sixth overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft. Which franchise drafted him?
Tap to Reveal the Answer
The New York Jets. Williams was selected sixth overall by the Jets in 2015 and spent six seasons there before being traded to the New York Giants in 2021. The Seahawks acquired him via trade from the Giants in 2023.
THIS DAY IN SEAHAWKS HISTORY
2023
Seahawks Sign Safety Julian Love
On this date three years ago, the Seahawks signed safety Julian Love to a two-year, $12 million contract as an unrestricted free agent from the New York Giants. Love became a cornerstone of the Seattle secondary, leading the team with 106 tackles in 2024 before recording 100+ tackles for a third consecutive season during the Super Bowl championship run in 2025. He’s now under contract through 2027 after signing a three-year, $36 million extension in July 2024.
