NWSB Editor and Insider Chris Anderson gives you a recap and his love ‘em and hate ‘em from the reports that Seattle has acquired Percy Harvin from the Minnesota Vikings.

NWSB insider and Seattle Seahawks blogger Brandon Choate brings us his version of armchair GM. The 2013 NFL Combine took place over the weekend and Brandon got to play John Schneider. After scouting the prospects over the 4 day event, he things Tavon Austin, Vance McDonald, Dion Jordan, DeVonte Holloman and Jonathan Cooper could help the Seahawks in a big way.
NWSB Insider and Seattle Seahawks blogger Brandon Choate brings us his 5 fearless 2013 Seattle Seahawks draft predicitions. The Seahawks will be drafting another quarterback according to Brandon. They will also trade down with their first pick and won’t reach for anybody, either. Desmond Trufant, Marquess Wilson, Kenjon Barner? Who will it be drafted to the Northwest’s Seahawks.
NWSB Insider and Seattle Seahawks blogger Jordin Ereth gives you his top 5 wish list for the upcoming NFL Draft picks for the Seattle Seahawks. Jordin goes defense mainly, with big picks out of the one, two, and four picks, and has quite a little surprise at the number three pick. But you will have to read the article to find out just exactly what that surprise is. Spoiler alert, he’s a beast from the East Side.
NWSB Insider and Seattle Seahawks blogger Brett Bivens breaks down the past and current legal troubles of LeRoy Hills. The linebacker’s legal troubles have plagued him for some time now, and his off-the-field issues are becoming tiresome to even write about. Most recently, Hills has been arrested on the charges of Individual Domestic Violence and Assault Individual. If he returns to the NFL, he could be facing a suspension.
NWSB Insider and Seattle Seahawks blogger Brett Bivens predicts which players from the current roster will not be around for the 2013 season. Matt Flynn, Marcus Trufont, Leroy Hill, Ben Obomanu and Charly Martin are all possibilities. Roster change is something that every professional sports team has to deal with, but with the Hawks having Super Bowl aspirations, it appears that moves are imminent.
NWSB Editor and Insider Chris Anderson gives you his top five performers for the Seattle Seahawks this year. To say the Seattle Seahawks had a somewhat surprising season in 2012 would be an understatement. While they did come into the new year with a youthful roster that was built on potential, many believed the Seahawks would be a middle-of-the-pack 7-9, 8-8, or 9-7 team. Russell Wilson, Earl Thomas, Bobby Wagner, Marshawn Lynch & Richard Sherman make the grade.
NWSB Insider and Seattle Seahawks blogger Brandon Choate brings us the path for the 6 Seahawks to get into this weekend’s Pro Bowl. Let’s take a look at how these six made it to Hawaii. Russell Okung and Max Unger protected Russell Wilson and Marshawn Lynch while Earl Thomas led the defense all year long. Leon Washington’s record tying season didn’t hurt, either.
NWSB Editor and Insider Chris Anderson talks about the options for Matt Flynn as the Seahawks move forward into a promising offseason. But, in all the awesomeness that was Russell Wilson, Matt Flynn once again was left to stand on the sidelines wondering what would happen with his career. Surely he could not beat out Wilson anymore for a starting spot. At best he would once again be the backup with endless potential to a quarterback who was just too good to bench.
NWSB Insider and Seattle Seahawks blogger Jordin Ereth gives you his analysis of Seattle’s draft picks that ended up impressing instead of disappointing Seattle fans. Mel claimed that Bruce Irvin was more of a late-second round value, Bobby Wagner could have been taken a round later, and he questioned the Russell Wilson pick, considering the Seahawks recently brought in Matt Flynn to likely be the starter.
NWSB Editor and Insider Chris Anderson gives his thoughts on the hiring of Dan Quinn to the position of defensive coordinator of the Seattle Seahawks. On Thursday morning the Seahawks announced that they had hired Dan Quinn, most recently the Defensive Coordinator of the Florida Gators, to fill their open position.
