Are the Seattle Seahawks being undervalued as Super Bowl contenders prior to the start of the 2026 NFL season?
According to CBS Sports’ Zachary Pereles, the Seahawks are one of five teams that are not being talked about enough with just over a month to go until the upcoming season begins.
“There's too much being made about the uncertainty -- at offensive coordinator, at running back, etc,” Pereles said. “It's not as if Kubiak had been overly successful before coming to Seattle; Mike Macdonald deserves the benefit of the doubt when it comes to his hires. And while Seattle will miss Walker's explosiveness, Seattle only ranked 28th in rushing success rate last year.”
The Seahawks will need rookie running back Jadarian Price to play well in the ground game next season, but around him, Seattle has veterans that are expected to perform up to par in 2026.
Other teams such as the Los Angeles Rams, New England Patriots and Cincinnati Bengals made the biggest splashes in the offseason. However, the Seahawks have a talented foundation of proven champions and individual stars in all three lines of defense that will give them an edge over the other top teams in the league next season, making a second consecutive Super Bowl win one that is in the cards for them.
