Seattle Seahawks: Aftermath of the March 2022 Purge
Negatives
This fall, Sunday alcohol sales are expected to rise in Seattle. Wait that sounds like it could be a positive if you are a local bar owner. Anyways, the Seattle Seahawks aren’t expected to compete for the playoffs in 2022. It wasn’t that long ago that we were talking about how a full year of Wilson would put the Seahawks back into the playoffs.
Quite frankly, no playoff football is boring. And knowing that there won’t be any playoff football in 2022 for the Seattle Seahawks is even more depressing.
While this trade helped the team get draft picks and cap space, it didn’t fill any positional needs. Shelby Harris is a nice rotational defensive lineman but not a dominant pass rusher.
The Seattle Seahawks could enter this season with a quarterback battle between Lock and Eason. Neither of these guys inspires much hope or optimism. Still, if you look at either guy just right, you can see a path to success. The odds of that happening are very slim, but it is possible.
Finally, while getting Noah Fant to be the starting tight end and arguably the best tight end the Seattle Seahawks have had in the last decade. He still has no one throwing him the ball. So, this will add even more pressure to Shane Waldron to help scheme open both Fant and D.K. Metcalf. Speaking of Metcalf, he might have an even worse season than last year, which will only fuel his haters even more.
