The Seattle Seahawks have yet to step on the practice field this spring and are likely headed towards a virtual offseason in light of the coronavirus pandemic that has shut down NFL facilities around the league.
Seahawks general manager John Schneider and coach Pete Carroll are still days away from the 2020 NFL Draft, which will also be completely remote this season.
Still, NFL.com’s Marc Sessler believes Seattle is one of four teams who are playoff bound or bust in 2020.
“I refuse to count out the Seahawks, with Russell Wilson coming off an MVP-caliber campaign,” Sessler writes. “Signing veteran tight end Greg Olsen helps, but concern lingers over a club that produced fewer sacks than all but the Lions, Falcons and Dolphins in 2019 – especially if free agent Jadeveon Clowney winds up elsewhere.”
Regardless, the Seahawks find themselves in impressive company alongside the 49ers, Packers and Saints, who Sessler believes are the other three playoff or bust teams worth watching closely this year.
