History

Historical Context

The Seattle Seahawks, an NFL expansion team since 1976, have repeatedly reshaped their defense after losing star linemen—most notably when 2015 first-round pick Michael Bennett went on injured reserve, forcing Pete Carroll’s staff to retool the line during a playoff push. Such injury-driven adjustments echo the franchise’s history of Super Bowl runs in 2005, 2013, 2014 and 2025.
