Seattle Seahawks Depth Chart

The NFL rescinded Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Josh Gordon's conditional reinstatement on Friday and left him banned from the league indefinitely. Gordon was added to the team's active roster three weeks ago and was set to return to the field when he had a setback in his battle with substance abuse that broke the terms of his conditional reinstatement. He missed the entire 2020 campaign after being suspended in December of 2019. This year was the third time he's missed an entire season since entering the league in 2012. The 29-year-old has been suspended by the NFL six times and has 247 career catches while making the All-Pro team in 2013 with Cleveland. What a shame. Gordon has so much talent and is still on the right side of 30 years old, but he may never get another chance in the NFL due to his latest setback.

The Seattle Seahawks fired offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer on Tuesday despite the offense setting a number of franchise records in 2020. However, it was evident that Schottenheimer and head coach Pete Carroll had their philosophical differences, with a parting of ways in the best interests of both sides. Schottenheimer had been with the club for the last three years before previously serving as the quarterbacks coach with the Colts and as an offensive coordinator with the Rams and Jets. Quarterback Russell Wilson was cooking and the offense was lighting up the scoreboard through the first five weeks, but turnovers became an issue and the offense scored 30-plus points just once after doing so in seven of their first eight games. Carroll mentioned just Monday that he'd prefer the team to run more in 2021.

The Seattle Seahawks signed general manager John Schneider to a contract extension on Tuesday that will keep him with the team through the 2027 draft. Schneider has helped build the Seahawks into one of the league's best franchises over the last decade. He's in his 11th season as the team's GM and also helped bring a Super Bowl title. Schneider and head coach Pete Carroll will remain together for at least the next five seasons. Under the duo, Seattle has reached the postseason nine times in 11 seasons since they were hired in 2010. The Seahawks have won five NFC West titles and reached two Super Bowls, including back-to-back appearances. Schneider and Carroll have also compiled nine straight winning seasons, which is the longest current streak in the NFL.

Seattle Seahawks defensive end/outside linebacker Bruce Irvin (knee) recently had a second surgery for a torn ACL that he suffered in the Week 2 win over the Patriots. "He's come out of that really well but he's behind because of that," head coach Pete Carroll said. Irvin is scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, and the 33-year-old could encounter a frigid market since there's a chance he won't be ready for the 2021 season. Irvin had a career-high 8.5 sacks in 13 games (12 starts) for the Panthers in 2019, also recording 36 combined tackles (eight for loss), 16 QB hits and a fumble recovery, but he had zero sacks in his two games this year before blowing his knee out.

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that he wants to run the ball more in 2021 in order to force defenses into looks that they can throw deep on. "I know fans don't want to hear it," Carroll said. Seattle started 5-0 this year and quarterback Russell Wilson was a front-runner for the MVP award. Wilson threw for 300-plus yards five times in the first eight games, but the team's explosive offensive plays were slowed in the second half of the season when defenses adjusted. In the final four games, including the wild-card loss to the Rams, Wilson didn't complete more than 67 percent of his passes and had 200 passing yards or fewer in three contests. Offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer will be back in 2021, and if the team indeed leans more on the run, it'll be good news for Chris Carson and bad news for Wilson's fantasy managers.
