The Seattle Seahawks are to be sold. However, this should not prevent business as usual during the offseason.

Despite the announced sale of the franchise, the Seattle Seahawks are continuing to conduct business as usual.

General Manager John Schneider made it clear at the NFL Scouting Combine that the sale process would not affect his work, the budget, or free agent spending.

Seahawks sale “business as usual” – experiences from Denver

Schneider said, “It’s just business as usual for us. Business as usual and all football.“ When asked if the sale would affect his daily work, he replied ”No.” He also does not expect any changes in free agent spending. He also announced a meeting with Denver Broncos GM George Paton to benefit from his experience in selling the Broncos in 2022.

The Seahawks are entering the offseason as the reigning Super Bowl champions. In the 2025 season, they set a club record with 14 wins in the regular season, won three playoff games, and claimed the second Lombardi Trophy in franchise history with a 29-13 victory over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX.

Seahawks have plenty of cap space left

Schneider emphasized the goal of keeping the successful team together as much as possible: “We’re going to try to keep as many of these guys as we can. As long as we can keep this collective 70 together.”

Running back and Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III in particular is expected to stay: “We would love to have Ken back.”

With around $59 million in cap space (sixth highest in the league), important decisions are ahead.

In addition to Walker, current unrestricted free agents include wide receiver Rashid Shaheed, cornerbacks Riq Woolen and Josh Jobe, and outside linebacker Boye Mafe.
