Seahawks' 3 largest 2025 cap hits: defense
Seahawks' 3 largest 2025 cap hits: defense
The Seattle Seahawks are currently equipped with $31.2 million in effective cap space, according to Over The Cap. General manager John Schneider has built a well-balanced squad, with no player scheduled to carry a salary number larger than $15 million in 2025. Having analyzed the financial situation, we've identified Seattle's three-largest cap charges on defense heading into training camp.
Leonard Williams, DT
Leonard Williams arguably enjoyed a career-best season for the Seahawks in 2024, recording 11.0 sacks. The Pro Bowler has Seattle's largest cap charge heading into 2025 at a little over $15 million. Williams is signed through 2026, but his contract could require reworking next summer due to its bloated nature ($29.6 million cap hit).
Uchenna Nwosu, EDGE
The Seahawks could have released Uchenna Nwosu this offseason for financial gain, but ultimately decided to give the oft-injured pass rusher another chance. He has Seattle's second-biggest cap charge on defense this season at $11.8 million. Nwosu is technically under contract through 2026, but it's truly a make-or-break year for him.
Devon Witherspoon, CB
Devon Witherspoon's cap number increases to $8.6 million in his third season. The former No. 5 overall selection will be eligible for a contract extension next summer, and the Seahawks will make a decision regarding his fifth-year option (it's a near-guarantee to be picked up).

Mariners Make Logan Gilbert Announcement After Velocity Dip
Mariners Make Logan Gilbert Announcement After Velocity Dip originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Despite another spectacular home run-saving catch by Julio Rodriguez, the Seattle Mariners dropped their series opener 5-4 to the Los Angeles Angels on Friday night. Advertisement However, they may soon have some reinforcements on the way as they try to keep pace with the AL West-leading Houston Astros. Seattle ace Logan Gilbert continues to work his way back from a right elbow flexor strain, which has shelved him since late April. During his second rehab outing on Wednesday, the 28-year-old threw 60 pitches across three innings, allowing five hits, one walk, one hit batter and two earned runs. SI's Teren Kowatsch noted that, "He touched 96.8 mph on his fastball in the first inning, but his velocity dipped to just under 94 mph at the end of his outing. His average velocity was 95.4 mph." However, Gilbert acknowledged afterward he "wasn't concerned" about it, as reported by The Seattle Times' Adam Jude. Advertisement On Friday, Mariners manager Dan Wilson announced Friday that Gilbert will make "at least" one more rehab start with the Triple-A Tacoma Rainiers, according to Daniel Kramer. Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Logan Gilbert (36) delivers a Hamilton-Imagn Images Kramer added that while the date has not yet been confirmed, "it'd likely be on Tuesday." If that outing were to go well, it could put Gilbert on track to rejoin his Seattle teammates for the Mariners' upcoming six-game homestand against the Cleveland Guardians and Boston Red Sox. Through his first six big-league starts this season, the Mariners ace has posted a sparkling 2.37 ERA and 0.79 WHIP across 30 1/3 innings with 44 strikeouts.

Seahawks all-time record vs AFC South: updated for 2025
Seahawks all-time record vs AFC South: updated for 2025 For the past two years, we at Seahawks Wire have been tracking the Seattle Seahawks' all-time records against every team in the NFL. It is important, we feel, to keep an updated log of Seattle's history and how they stack up with other squads in the league. We are resuming this ongoing series with updated records headed into the 2025 season. So far in this series, we have covered the NFC West and NFC South. In 2025, Seattle is also paired with teams from the AFC South. Interestingly enough, the NFC South and AFC South were the two divisions the Seahawks had to play during their legendary 2013 Super Bowl XLVIII championship season. Without further ado, here is how Seattle stacks up all-time in their rare meetings with these cross-conference foes. All-time record: Seattle leads the series 4-1 Regular season : Seattle leads the series 4-1 : Seattle leads the series 4-1 Postseason: N/A Longest win streak: the Seahawks are currently on a three-game winning streak over Houston, dating back to September 2013. Most recent outcome: December 12th, 2021 - the Seahawks obliterate the Texans 33-13 in their own building. The 2021 campaign was a lost one for Seattle, but the Seahawks finished strong. Running back Rashaad Penny bulldozed his way to 137 rushing yards and two touchdowns in the rout. All-time record: Baltimore/Indianapolis leads the series 7-6 Regular season : Baltimore/Indianapolis leads the series 7-6 : Baltimore/Indianapolis leads the series 7-6 Postseason: N/A Longest win streak: both teams' longest streak over the other is only two games in a row. The Colts have done this three times, both in Baltimore and Indianapolis. The Seahawks have won the last two meetings, dating back to October 2017... should they win in 2025, it will be the longest win streak by either team in the series. Most recent outcome: September 12th, 2021 - the Seahawks opened the eventually-doomed 2021 season with a solid 28-16 win over the Colts in Indianapolis. Carlos Dunlap tackling Carson Wentz in the header photo is a good reminder of how quickly life changes in the NFL. Jacksonville Jaguars All-time record: Seattle leads the series 6-3 Regular season : Seattle leads the series 6-3 : Seattle leads the series 6-3 Postseason: N/A Longest win streak: Seattle, two games twice... once from November 2000 to October 2001 and October 2009 to September 2013. Most recent outcome: October 31st, 2021 - the Seahawks claim their first home victory of the season on Halloween, scaring rookie quarterback Trevor Lawrence with a 31-7 win over the listless Urban Meyer-led Jaguars. All-time record: Seattle leads the series 11-8 Regular season : Seattle leads the series 11-7 : Seattle leads the series 11-7 Postseason: the only time these two teams met in the playoffs was when the Titans were the Houston Oilers, but the win is still credited to Tennessee so they are 1-0 over the Seahawks Longest win streak: Seattle, five games, from December 1994 until December 2005. Most recent outcome: December 24th, 2023 - Seahawks keep their playoff hopes alive with a heroic comeback drive orchestrated by Geno Smith to escape Music City with a 20-17 win.
