The Seattle Seahawks finished the 2023 season with a 9-8 record, marking the 11th time with a .500-plus record in the last 12 years under Pete Carroll. Despite the sustained success, Seattle made the difficult decision to part ways with Carroll and hire first-time head coach Mike Macdonald. Seattle has had a relatively uneventful offseason outside of the aforementioned coaching changes. Geno Smith is still the starting quarterback but Sam Howell was brought in to compete after Washington decided to move on from him. It will be interesting to see which direction Macdonald takes this team in Year 1. Here is one potential outcome for the NFC West franchise:
Duke
Colorado State
Utah
Washington
Texas Tech
