Seahawks news: O-line questions, breaking on defense, more for Cardinals fans
Another week in the NFL offseason, so it is time to see what has been going on with the Arizona Cardinals' NFC West rivals — the Los Angeles Rams, San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks. What is new as we await the start of training camps later this month?
Below are a few stories from the last week that Cardinals fans should know about the Seahawks.
Bouceback year for Kenneth Walker?
After a 1,000-yard rookie season in 2022, Walker's production has declined for two consecutive years. Last year, he played in only 11 games and had 573 rushing yards. PFF expects a bounceback year and a return to 1,000 yards.
Questions on the O-line
Every team enters the summer with questions. One of the biggest questions is the Seahawks' offensive line. But that should surprise nobody.
White throwbacks coming
The Cardinals never wear throwback jerseys. The Seahawks will, though, this year. They will wear throwback white unis sometime this season.
Breakout year from defense expected
The Seahawks were bad defensively most of last season but then played much better in the second half of the season. The Athletic expects the defensive to break out in its second season under head coach Mike Macdonald.
Surprising surprise player
Every team has offseason surprises. For the Seahawks, it was guard Anthony Bradford. He is not expected to start on the offensive line, but he could push for a starting job in camp.

Cowboys' Dak Prescott Earns Shocking 'Steal' Ranking in Fantasy Football Projections
Cowboys' Dak Prescott Earns Shocking 'Steal' Ranking in Fantasy Football Projections originally appeared on Athlon Sports. It is mock draft season. That means it's time for NFL fans to put on their ownership hats and construct their fantasy football teams ahead of the 2025 season. Advertisement The quarterback is always the highest-scoring position on average, but it usually takes a back seat to less deep positions like running back and wide receiver at the top of drafts. Nonetheless, the most elite QBs like Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson get taken off the board fairly quickly. For Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott, there is a lot working against him in these fantasy projections compared to his peers. Where he fits in quarterback rankings is always up for debate and his concerning injury history makes him an understandable commitment to avoid. Not to mention how facing the spotlight of leading "America's Team" often puts Dak at the center of scrutiny, warranted or not. That sometimes makes for a low bar in Dak's fantasy football value, which could work in favor of the bold individuals who decide to draft him. Advertisement Prescott was named the "best value pick" at quarterback by Bleacher Report this fantasy season. He has an average draft pick of No. 111 in fantasy leagues right now, ranking 14th among quarterbacks. By our estimations, that is a steal. "With the Dallas running game a major question mark, the Cowboys could be among the NFL's most pass-heavy teams in 2025," writes Gavin Davenport. "As recently as two years ago, Prescott surpassed 4,500 passing yards, led the league in passing scores with 36 and finished third in fantasy points among quarterbacks." Prescott's 2023 season was the best of his career and his most recent fully-healthy season, which puts an asterisk on his and the Cowboys' showing last season after his torn-off-the-bone hamstring injury put him out for the second half of the year. Advertisement Prescott is expected to be ready to go for Week 1 in 2025, and with a stronger receiving corps after the addition of George Pickens, Prescott is poised to put up big numbers once again. That would bring major value to fantasy owners who get him in late rounds ... of course, as long as Year 10 Dak can stay healthy. Most importantly, his production will prove instrumental to the success of a Cowboys franchise anxious to return to competitive football under new head coach Brian Schottenheimer this season.

Cowboys Fans Marvel At Joe Milton 'Dime' Video While Questioning Dak Prescott
Cowboys Fans Marvel At Joe Milton 'Dime' Video While Questioning Dak Prescott originally appeared on Athlon Sports. FRISCO - In football, the most popular guy in town is always the backup quarterback. As Dallas Cowboys training camp approaches, Joe Milton is feeling that love now. Advertisement But how long will the feeling last? And what does being the new No. 2 QB, Joe Milton, have to do with posing a threat to the starting job of Dak Prescott? Fans who know how good Cooper Rush was filling in for Prescott are now giddy about the prospects of Milton. Some fans and analysts even predicted that the Cowboys would have a new starter this season. However, regarding Dallas' plan ... those fans and analysts are wrong. Much of the wild speculation is based on Prescott's nine seasons – good ones when healthy – vs. one single game by Milton. He starred in a meaningless regular-season finale for the New England Patriots in 2024, throwing and running for touchdowns. Advertisement At 25 and with dual-threat athleticism, Cowboys fans – and some media – immediately began singing Milton's praises this offseason. Some of the wildest rumors even predicted the Cowboys would trade Prescott to the Cleveland Browns and give the starting job to Milton before a single training-camp snap. Prescott is in the prime of his career. As the highest-paid player in NFL history, smart critics can agree it's time for him to deliver at the very least a winning playoff run. But is Milton threatening to take his job? Nope. But what about the marvel of these videos showing him running, spinning, backflipping and throwing a "dime"? Advertisement Politely ... Nope. The Cowboys signed Prescott to an extension through 2028 in September, making him the highest-paid quarterback in the game. There is an "escape hatch" after the 2027 season. Want a major change? You'll have to wait until then. Prescott is under immense pressure to stay healthy, perform as a top-10 quarterback and lead the Cowboys to multiple playoff wins this season. Highlights aside, "Bazooka" Milton is projected to have very little to do with that.

Cowboys Signing Brings 'Jacked' Miles Sanders To Starting Competition
Cowboys Signing Brings 'Jacked' Miles Sanders To Starting Competition originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Remember the Miles Sanders who we've watched over the years, especially when he was in a Philadelphia Eagles uniform, darting around the Dallas Cowboys defense as he once did? Advertisement We never quite thought of him as "jacked." Consider us newly educated. Sanders signed with Dallas this offseason on a cheap prove-it deal after a lackluster experience with the lowly Carolina Panthers. So, what's happened so far in Dallas? In our observation of his work at minicamp here inside The Star, Sanders, a former 1,000-yard rusher, was given a large amount of the first-team snaps in competition with fellow veteran newcomer Javonte Williams, signed from Denver. And he looked sort of like he did back in 2022 with the Eagles, when Sanders played in 17 games and totaled 259 carries for 1,269 yards and 11 touchdowns. ... and became a Pro Bowler. Advertisement But again ... We've always thought of him, at ...., as a sort of "scatback." In the gym, however? He doesn't look like that. He looks like this ... Sanders is listed at 5-11 and 212 ... and there is seemingly no poundage wasted there. Williams, rookie Jaydon Blue, Deuce Vaughn and rookie Phil Mafah are among the combatants for snaps once we get to training camp in Oxnard with a reporting date of July 21. It is possible that Sanders, who has the credentials to win the job outright, could end up leading the pack ... and that the pack might be "running back by committee." What if he does? As he enters his seventh NFL season, it clearly won't be all about just speed and quickness and "scat." Advertisement It will also, based on photographic evidence, be about being "jacked."
