When ESPN published a post on a simulation of the 2021 season for the Seattle Seahawks that had the team starting 0-8, fans were up in arms. Now that the Hawks are 3-8 and staring down the first losing season for the franchise in a decade, many have begun to look past 2021 and to what the future will hold.
For the Seahawks, the offseason will in all likelihood begin in just over a month on January tenth with locker cleanout, and from there questions about the 2022 roster will begin in earnest. In reality, the direction of the team going forward, and the first glimpses at answers to 2022 will begin the Saturday prior when the team will likely make decisions on practice squad players on which it wishes to retain first dibs.
