Seahawks Eye Run Game Improvement, Potential Trade Deadline Moves
The Seattle Seahawks are looking to refine their game as they head into the second half of the 2025 season [2]. Despite a strong 5-2 start, tied for the NFC West lead, Coach Mike Macdonald and his staff are focused on improvements, particularly in the run game [2]. Meanwhile, veteran wide receiver Tyler Lockett, after securing his release from the Tennessee Titans, has signed with the Las Vegas Raiders [4].
Seattle's General Manager John Schneider may explore trades to bolster the roster [3]. Potential targets could include defensive players from teams looking to sell [3]. Names mentioned include Saints defensive end Cameron Jordan, Browns defensive end Joe Tryon-Shoyinka, and Jets linebacker Quincy Williams [3]. A move for a player of that caliber could provide a significant boost to the Seahawks defense.
The Seahawks' active roster as of June 9, 2025, includes guard Bryce Cabeldue and Mason Richman [1]. With Lockett joining the Raiders, the Seahawks will face a familiar face twice this season [4]. The return of a key fullback could be crucial in unlocking the Seahawks' run game, which is a point of emphasis for improvement [2].
