The Seattle Seahawks are entering a new era of football. Pete Carroll has been moved to an “advisory” role, John Schneider has assumed full personnel control as general manager, and the new head coach is a rookie.
Mike Macdonald has been regarded as one of the great young minds in the National Football League. Two standout seasons as Baltimore Ravens defensive coordinator made him a hot head coaching candidate, and the Seahawks wasted no time hiring him after the Ravens were eliminated in the AFC Championship Game.
The Seahawks roster, particularly on defense has undergone a fair bit of churning this offseason.
