Seattle Seahawks

Key Points:

• The Seattle Seahawks addressed their need for edge rusher depth by signing veteran Dante Fowler Jr. to a one-year deal worth up to $5 million, following a draft that didn't yield suitable additions at that position.
• Fowler, a former top-three pick with 12 years in the NFL, is expected to bring veteran savvy and depth rather than youthful explosiveness, with Seahawks defensive coordinator Aden Durde having prior experience working with him.
• The Seahawks’ 2024 schedule release may be delayed until the week of May 18, later than usual, with speculation that their Week 1 game could be a Wednesday night opener against the Chicago Bears.
• Organized Team Activities (OTAs) start May 26, and while attendance is voluntary, head coach Mike Macdonald values player participation as a sign of commitment, especially following the team’s Super Bowl-winning season last year.
• Injury updates are expected during OTAs, though no new information on running back Zach Charbonnet’s recovery from a torn ACL was available at the time of the draft.
