Seattle Seahawks news: Contract extension, injuries and more for Cardinals fans to know
Seattle Seahawks news: Contract extension, injuries and more for Cardinals fans to know Checking in on the NFC West with a few stories from the last week for Cardinals fans to know about the Seahawks.
We have made it through another week of the offseason, now 12 weeks from Week 1. It is time to check in with the rest of the NFC West and see what is happening with the Arizona Cardinals' division rivals — the Los Angeles Rams, San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks.
What has been going on with the Seahawks?
Below are some stories from the last week about them that Cardinals fans should know.
Early favorite for punt return job
The Seahawks added former Ravens receiver and returner Steven Sims in the offseason. Sims has been getting the bulk of the punt return reps in OTAs.
Highest-paid punter
The Seahawks signed Michael Dickson to a contract extension. It is worth $16.2 million over four years, which makes him the highest-paid punter in the NFL.
Uchenna Nwosu rehabbing
The Seahawks had 100% attendance at mandatory minicamp this past week. However, linebacker Uchenna Nwosu was not practicing. He had offseason knee surgery but head coach Miek Macdonald downplayed it, calling it small..
Ankle injury for Ken Walker
RB Kenneth Walker III missed some time in offseason work. After missing six games last season, he is dealing with what is considered a minor ankle injury.
Minicamp rookie standouts
As the offseason program concluded, there were three rookies who stood out — guard Grey Zabel, safety Nick Emmanwori and receiver Tory Horton.
Zabel projects as a starter. Emmanwori will compete for a role on defense. The same goes for Horton.

Dodgers Issued Caution on Top Target at MLB Trade Deadline
Dodgers Issued Caution on Top Target at MLB Trade Deadline originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Los Angeles Dodgers will be buyers at the trade deadline. There's no question about that, as Andrew Friedman has continued to prove throughout his time in Los Angeles that he'll do anything he can to win a World Series. Advertisement After the moves and Dodgers made at the deadline a year ago, he also understands how to evaluate under-the-radar talent, something that every team in Major League Baseball would love to have out of an executive. One name that has continued to pop up for the Dodgers is Erick Fedde of the St. Louis Cardinals. The right-hander has shown to have above-average stuff throughout his career and has been great this year, posting a 3.65 ERA. Andrew Friedman, President of baseball operations, speaks during an introductory press conference for Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Roki Sasaki (11) at Dodger Kamin-Oncea-Imagn Images Despite that, Cody Williams recently urged the Dodgers to be cautious about his stuff, adding that they need to be careful in any trade for the Cardinals veteran because he isn't as good as his numbers show. Advertisement "Fedde has continued to be solid with his overall numbers, posting a 3.54 ERA (second best in the Cardinals rotation) with a 1.30 WHIP. What jumps off the page with Baseball Savant, however, is that he's sitting with an expected ERA at 5.28 this season, 1.74 points higher than the actual mark. "With the contact he's giving up and the situations he's found himself in, he's simply not been as good as his current ERA would suggest. His stuff likely isn't going to tick up meaningfully to change that, which means any team pursuing him should expect him to not be as strongly impactful as he has been. Buyers that should beware: Boston Red Sox, Cleveland Guardians, Los Angeles Dodgers," he wrote. Depending on the role the Dodgers would plan to use him in, and the package they'd have to give up, it could make sense to trade for him. However, to say that Fedde has been an ace throughout his career would be unfair; in that regard, the Dodgers do need to be cautious.

Louisville strikes for 6 runs in 8th to eliminate Arizona from College World Series with an 8-3 win
Associated Press OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Zion Rose's two-run single gave Louisville its first lead during a six-run eighth inning and the Cardinals knocked Arizona out of the College World Series with an 8-3 win Sunday. Louisville's 19th come-from-behind win of the season moved the Cardinals (41-23) to another elimination game Tuesday against the loser of Sunday night's Coastal Carolina-Oregon State matchup. Arizona (44-21) has lost six straight CWS games over three appearances since 2016. The Cardinals trailed 3-1 early and came up empty after having runners in scoring position in the third, fourth and fifth innings. When they broke through, the runs came in bunches. Lucas Moore's sacrifice fly in the seventh made it a one-run game against Garrett Hicks (5-2), and then Arizona had an improbable meltdown with National Stopper of the Year Tony Pluta on the mound after the Cardinals' first two batters reached in the eighth. Tague Davis's blooper loaded the bases, and then Rose punched a two-run single down the right-field line to put Louisville up 4-3. No. 9 batter Kamau Neighbors singled in another run to cap his 4-for-4 day. Garrett Pike got caught in a rundown between third and home and scored when Pluta dropped the ball trying to tag him at the plate. Neighbors came home on Alex Alicea's squeeze bunt, and Matt Klein singled to left for the final run. Tucker Biven (4-0) pitched the last four innings for the Cardinals, working around two singles to hold Arizona scoreless in the ninth. Louisville is 26-0 when leading after eight innings and 203-5-1 since the start of 2019. Adonys Guzman, who singled in the Wildcats' first run in the first inning, hit his second homer of the NCAA Tournament and ninth of the season to give his team a two-run lead in the third. Freshman Smith Bailey gave Arizona another strong start. He went six innings for the fifth time in six starts, including three straight in the NCAA Tournament. He allowed five earned runs over 18 postseason innings (2.50 ERA). This was the teams' second meeting of the season. In February, Louisville won 13-1 in Arlington, Texas, in a game shortened to eight innings by the run rule. ___ AP college sports: recommended
