The Seahawks may already be looking at a familiar kind of offseason swing: not the splashiest name on the board, but a lineman who could patch a hole and tilt the run game in the right direction. Bleacher Report’s Moe Moton has Seattle as a potential landing spot for former Eagles Super Bowl champion Mekhi Becton, and the fit is pretty easy to see.
Seattle’s interior line still has one guard spot hanging in the balance. Anthony Bradford is currently penciled in as the starting right guard, but he’s not exactly locked into the job.
The Seahawks also used a fifth-round pick this year on Beau Stephens, who could push for snaps in 2026. If the team wants a veteran instead of waiting on development, Becton brings a different kind of answer.
"Yet when healthy, the massive interior lineman can be an asset to a team that needs insurance for an underperforming starter or intends to feature a downhill ground attack in the upcoming campaign," Moton writes. "Potential suitors: Pittsburgh Steelers, Seattle Seahawks."
That last part matters, because Seattle’s run-game plan may need some help. Kenneth Walker III is gone to the Kansas City Chiefs, and Zach Charbonnet is out to begin the year. If the Seahawks want more muscle up front for the backs they’re turning to now, Becton offers size and experience.
At 6-foot-7 and 363 pounds, he was a strong piece for Philadelphia in 2024 before a tougher 2025 with the Los Angeles Chargers. The former first-round pick - taken 11th overall by the New York Jets in the 2020 NFL Draft - has started 59 games in his career, including 29 at guard over the last two seasons with the Eagles and Chargers.
For Seattle, this wouldn’t be a blockbuster move. It wouldn’t reset the market, and it wouldn’t solve every issue along the offensive line.
But it would give the Seahawks a proven, massive guard option who has already shown he can thrive in the role, especially at right guard with Philadelphia. In a spot that still feels unsettled, that makes Becton a real name to watch.

Seahawks Offseason Choice Reopened A Debate Fans Thought Was Over
The Seahawks edge-rusher debate has been revived by one of those offseason moves that looks simple on paper and complicated everywhere else. Seattle chose to keep Derick Hall around with a three-year extension beyond 2026, a deal worth up to $42 million, even as Boye Mafe headed elsewhere. On a pure dollar-for-dollar basis, the comparison invites instant hand-wringing, especially for fans who remember how much the pass rush depended on both players over the past two seasons.
But the case for Seattle is rooted less in headline numbers than in how the defense is built and what the staff values on Sundays. Hall has been viewed as a stronger fit in Mike Macdonalds scheme and as a steadier presence against the run on all three downs, which is why the Seahawks were comfortable making him part of the long-term plan rather than chasing a different kind of price tag. An ESPN analyst still floated the idea of moving Hall and using the savings to bring Mafe back, but that line of thinking runs against the way Seattle has approached this roster choice. [Read more 🡒]
Lumen Field Is About To Host A Massive USMNT Turning Point
Lumen Field has already delivered one of the biggest soccer moments in its history, with the United States men beating Bosnia and Herzegovina 2-0 in a World Cup knockout-stage match in Seattle. For a program that has spent more than two decades waiting to clear this particular hurdle, the result felt like more than just another win on the bracket.
The next round now brings a higher-stakes test, with a quarterfinal berth on the line and the kind of tension that usually exposes every small mistake. Seattle will also have to host the match with one of the teams most important attacking pieces unavailable, which adds another layer of intrigue to a night that already figures to carry serious weight.

Seahawks Just Got A Huge Offseason Signal From DeMarcus Lawrence
DeMarcus Lawrence arrived in Seattle with the idea that a change of scenery might finally line him up with a real shot at a Super Bowl, and his first season with the Seahawks suggested the fit was more than a one-year experiment. The former Cowboys edge rusher made an impact on the field and quickly became a steady presence in the locker room, giving Seattle both the production it needed and a veteran voice younger defenders could lean on.
Lawrence has also made clear he wants to keep building here, which matters for a defense that already treats him like a cornerstone. He has been working with players such as Derick Hall and Nick Emmanwori, and his influence has even helped Seattle in the veteran market, giving the Seahawks another layer of credibility as they try to stack talent around a group that still has room to grow.
