Jason Myers Still Feels Like Seattles Most Overlooked Weapon

Despite his stellar season and crucial role in the Seahawks' championship run, kicker Jason Myers remains overlooked for top honors in the NFL as the team gears up for new offensive strategies.

Special teams helped shape the Seattle Seahawks’ run to the Super Bowl, and Jason Myers was right in the middle of it. When Seattle’s offense stalled or left points on the field, Myers kept the scoreboard moving. He finished as the league’s top scorer among offensive players, even though he still missed out on a Pro Bowl nod.

Myers put together one of the strongest seasons of his career in 2025. He hit all 48 of his extra points and went 41-of-48 on field goals, piling up 171 points, the most in the league.

From distance, he was just as steady: 13-of-15 on kicks from 40 to 49 yards and 9-of-12 from 50 to 59 yards. He added 35 more points across Seattle’s three postseason games.

There were stretches last season when the Seahawks’ offense had trouble sustaining drives, whether because of shaky protection up front or defenses that snuffed out the play before it could develop. In those moments, Myers became the final answer on drives that had gone cold.

Even with that workload and the league-leading point total, he did not earn what would have been his third Pro Bowl selection. The source also says he should've made Super Bowl LX MVP after a stellar performance.

His accuracy inside 30 yards had one rare blemish. Myers missed once from 20 to 29 yards, and that came in Seattle’s 13-3 Week 18 win over the San Francisco 49ers.

It was his first miss from that range since his 2015 rookie season. Even so, he still hasn’t reached a 90% field goal rate since 2022.

Looking ahead to 2026, Seattle’s offense may not ask quite as much of him. First-year offensive coordinator Brian Fleury is expected to lean on a more efficient and aggressive run game, with the goal of creating easier first downs on the ground.

The Seahawks also want more from the tight ends and the short passing game, while still keeping the deep ball in play. If that plan works, Myers could still get his share of manageable kicks - but Seattle’s bigger aim is to finish drives without needing him to clean things up.

Seahawks Sale Could Reset What Fans Think This Franchise Is Worth

The Seahawks are on the verge of changing hands in a deal that would reset the NFLs financial ceiling, with the estate of Paul Allen agreeing to sell the franchise to the Khosla family and limited partners for $9.612 billion, pending league approval. Beyond Seattle, the number is already reverberating around the league because it gives owners, bankers and prospective buyers a fresh benchmark for what a top-tier franchise can command in todays market.

For Baltimore, the ripple effect is especially interesting. The Ravens are currently valued at around $6 billion, but a Seahawks-style premium could make that figure look conservative in a hurry, even though Steve Bisciotti has given no indication he wants to sell. Bisciottis long-term hold on the team has kept Baltimore off the market, but this sale suggests the practical price of even a non-selling franchise may be climbing faster than the public estimates have been willing to admit.

Seahawks Just Reset What An NFL Franchise Can Be Worth

The Seahawks pending sale has done more than reset the market in Seattle. It has also forced another hard look at what the NFLs most valuable teams might really be worth, because once a franchise can command a price in that neighborhood, the old assumptions about the ceiling start to look outdated fast.

Philadelphia is now part of that conversation, even if there is no sign Jeffrey Lurie intends to sell. The Eagles have already had minority stakes traded at a valuation just north of $8.3 billion, and a full-control transaction would almost certainly push the number higher, with the market now making a case for a figure well above that.

Seahawks Could Make Their Biggest Win Now Gamble Yet

Seattles edge-rusher outlook still has room for another swing, and that is why the idea of pursuing a major name has lingered around the team. With Boye Mafe gone and Dante Fowler Jr. stepping into a bigger role, the Seahawks can at least make the case that they are not done adding help up front, especially if they want to keep pressure on opposing quarterbacks from becoming a weekly concern.

The bigger question is whether the price would be worth it. Seattle has draft capital to work with, and Las Vegas could be open to dealing from its rebuild, which makes the framework of a move easier to imagine than most big-name trades. Even so, any serious push would require the Seahawks to decide how far they want to go in win-now mode, and whether this is the kind of gamble that changes their ceiling or just drains resources they may need elsewhere.
