Super Bowl LX

Emmanwori, along with RB Kenny McIntosh and CB Tyrone Broden, were all placed on the PUP list but will be eligible to come off at any time. Emmanwori is reportedly dealing with an undisclosed injury, while McIntosh is recovering from a torn ACL he suffered in last year’s training camp. All three players are eligible to come off the PUP list at any time once the team deems them ready to participate in camp.

The seventh-round pick missed most of OTAs and mini-camp with an unspecified injury and will now be moved to PUP, presumably to pave the way for the Seahawks to add another camp body to their roster. Eastern possesses solid intangibles but was likely on the outside looking in for a roster spot during his rookie season considering the presence of both Byron Murphy and Brandon Pili.

The impending sale was first reported by Sportico then confirmed by ESPN before the team itself announced the move. Sportico and Schefter have reported an eye-watering sale price of $9.6 billion, shattering the Commanders’ previous NFL record and making the transaction one of the most expensive in the history of global sports. As NFL franchise values spiral ever upward, this probably won’t remain the record for long. Sitting pretty as Super Bowl champions with a 21st century largely spent winning, the Seahawks are a crown jewel asset, but things can always go haywire when those change hands. Khosla has a lot to live up to in the late Allen, who passed away in 2018. That, of course, is once the deal is formally approved by the NFL. That will reportedly take place in late August. A “tech billionaire” in the words of Sportico, Khosla is one of the co-founders of Sun Microsystems

The presence of A.J. Brown in the New England offense, Graf said, could stop teams from crowding the line of scrimmage this season. The Patriots in 2025 faced the league’s second highest rate of stacked boxes (eight or more defenders) at 52 percent, as opposing defenses were not afraid of the team’s pass-catching options. This in turn created less-than-optimal conditions for TreVeon Henderson and Rhamondre Stevenson. New England last year ranked 18th in yards before contact per attempt, a rate that could (should) rise if defenses give more respect to the passing attack. Graf said Henderson could continue missing out on valuable snaps if he hasn’t improved his pass protection this offseason.

Reiss bases his conclusion on Jennings’ work with the first-unit punt protection team. Jennings, 25, rushed 23 times for 73 yards and one touchdown, and turned his lone target into a nine-yard gain last year. Jennings is a name to know for waiver wire purposes, in case RBs Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson miss time. Aside from that, Jennings will not be scoring fantasy points on the punt squad.

The Seahawks wrapped up Jaxon Smith-Njigba’s extension early in the offseason, but haven’t been able to come to terms with Witherspoon despite making an initial offer three months ago. It’s hard to infer the state of the negotiations from that line alone, but obviously there’s some gap still to be bridged at this time. One of the NFL’s best cornerbacks, Witherspoon figures to be near the top of the market when his deal is finally hammered out.

Henderson says the expectation is that Price will split work with incumbent George Holani and free agent signee Emanuel Wilson while the team waits for Zach Charbonnet (ACL) to make his return. We’ll see if a clear-cut RB1 emerges for the Seahawks during training camp, but this is shaping up to be a messy backfield during the early part of the season based on where things stand right now. One concern about Price entering the draft was his ability to contribute in the passing game, but Henderson notes that he “looked plenty capable as a pass catcher in the spring,” so it’s possible he could see more work than we initially anticipated. Price is the only running back with an ADP of note in early fantasy drafts, while both Holani and Wilson are going un-drafted more often than not. With Holani and Wilson being virtually free in drafts, their ADP presents a nice buying opportunity for fantasy managers looking for late-round sleepers that could make an early impact this season.

The Patriots’ Gillette Stadium served as a host site for the 2026 FIFA World Cup games. Scotland’s Tartan Army fans reportedly “brought spirit” to the point that it caught Kraft’s attention, prompting the Patriots’ owner to tell NFL commissioner Roger Goodell that he would like his team to play a game in Scotland someday. Reiss also notes that the “economic stimulus from record beer sales at some local bars probably made an impression on Kraft.” Reiss’ sources say that this isn’t yet an “active” situation, and instead falls in the “conversation” phase between league and owner, at this time. The NFL intends to continue its international expansion, and NFL teams that seek out international fan bases will only hurry that process along.

Reiss believes Gonzalez “might have been sending a message to the team this spring” by sitting out the majority of the voluntary program and participating only in “the lower-speed/lower-tempo parts of mandatory minicamp.” We think Reiss is probably onto something here. Gonzalez turned 24 today and has already earned one second-team All-Pro nod and Pro Bowl honors, and is under team control for two more years after his fifth-year option was picked up this offseason. It’s in Gonzalez’s best interests to do whatever he can to get an extension now, so a hold-in would not be a surprising result.

Per Fowler, Seahawks tight ends are “going to be moving all around” the formation this season. Whether Darnold targets TEs AJ Barner and Elijah Arroyo more often remains to be seen, but we can take this as a net positive for the offense overall. Shifts and motion give the defense an extra item to monitor. Motion added 0.25 yards per play to the NFL average last year. The 49ers averaged the fourth-highest shifts and motion rate (74.3 percent) in the 2025 regular season, while Fleury served as their run game coordinator and tight ends coach. The Seahawks’ 67.4 percent rate ranked 12th. Fleury will call plays offensively for the first time in his career, and former OC Klint Kubiak will not be easy to replace. This is an encouraging report for the Seahawks’ fantasy-scoring prospects, though.
