Assessing Seahawks' biggest "what if" need for Super Bowl run in 2026

The Seattle Seahawks have realistic Super Bowl hopes for the upcoming 2026 NFL season. However, the Seahawks do need certain things to go their way in order to win it all next season. Seattle has questions at running back with rookie Jadarian Price set to handle the lion share of carries to begin the year. The Seahawks have also had questions at cornerback throughout the offseason following the departure of Tariq Woolen in free agency, even with the young players that they selected in the draft this year. That being said, the scenario that needs to unfold the most for the team next season may lie on the offensive side of the ball. According to Bleacher Report’s Brad Gagnon, the biggest “what if” for the Seahawks next season will be playing well under new offensive coordinator Brian Fleury with a new-look offensive backfield. ”If they can survive losing offensive play-caller Klint Kubiak and key cog Kenneth Walker III, a Seahawks team with a target on its back in a tough division could make it back to the Super Bowl in 2026,” Gagnon said. Kubiak’s schematics helped the team capture the Vince Lombardi Trophy last season. With Fleury now in town, the Seahawks have a new system that they will need to play in, as well as new roles to establish, mainly with Rashid Shaheed set to see more targets in the passing game. With a good season under Fleury, a second straight Super Bowl victory will be in the cards for them.
