Analysis:
After winning the second Super Bowl in franchise history, what will the Seahawks do for an encore?
The team lost Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III to the Kansas City Chiefs in free agency, but they replaced him with talented Notre Dame running back Jadarian Price. He should form a strong 1-2 punch with Zach Charbonnet, who ran for 730 yards and scored 2 touchdowns last season.
Most of Seattle's offensive core - quarterback Sam Darnold, WRs Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Cooper Kupp, Rashid Shaheed, and tight end AJ Barner - is coming back.
The Seahawks' defense is even more dangerous after retaining cornerback Josh Jobe, adding edge-rusher Dante Fowler Jr., cornerback Noah Igbinoghene, and safety D'Anthony Bell, and drafting second-round safety Bud Clark, and third-round CB Julian Neal.
Seattle plays in one of the toughest divisions in football and will have to fend off the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers - both of which were a threat to win the NFC West last season - for the division title and likely the No. 1 seed in the conference.
But 12 wins or more should be right in the Seahawks' wheelhouse. But repeating as Super Bowl champions - something that's only been done nine times in NFL history - will be much more difficult with the giant target that's now on their backs.
