John Gilbert is the Field Gulls Deputy Editor and has covered the NFL's Seattle Seahawks since 2016. He specializes in the salary cap, the collective bargaining agreement and statistical analysis, with an occasional film breakdown sprinkled in.
The offseason has arrived for the Seattle Seahawks, after failing to qualify for the postseason for the second year in a row and the third time in four seasons. This in spite of putting up double digit wins in the first season under new head coach Mike Macdonald, and holding sole possession of first place in the NFC West in mid-December heading into Week 15.
