SEATTLE — With the Seattle Seahawks on a bye week, it’s the perfect moment to pause and assess their performance at the halfway mark of the 2025 NFL season. Terry Hollimon handed out their midseason grades.

Coming off a bye, the Seahawks revealed some good news ahead of the team's Week 9 matchup against the Commanders on Sunday Night Football.

Longtime Seahawks beat reporter and analyst Corbin Smith joins The Hawks Eye podcast and gives his insights on Seattle’s 5-2 start.

One position the Seahawks could consider upgrading is right guard. Starter Anthony Bradford has especially struggled in pass protection, posting a grade of 18.0 according to Pro Football Focus. If Schneider is placing calls, dialing his old pal Pete Carroll may be worthwhile.

The Seahawks have gotten off to a hot start at 5-2, but they believe they are making sure that they are still focused to finish the season.

Seahawks GM John Schneider usually doesn't make big trades without an urgent need, but that doesn't mean he'll sit out this year.
