The Seattle Seahawks enter into an offseason filled with several challenges they must address and overcome if they want to return to the playoffs. On a recent appearance on Seattle’s 933 KJR, former Washington Husky quarterback Hugh Millen spoke on some of these challenges. According to Millen, Seattle’s No. 1 priority for this offseason is finding a way to overhaul this offensive line.
I think Millen is going to get a lot of 12’s out there to agree with him on this one.
Hugh Millen with us on @933KJR says #Seahawks‘ 1st priority this offseason must be overhauling the offensive line–just as the Chiefs did so expertly in one offseason a couple years ago.
Draft. Signings. All of the above–as long as its the O-line.
“Laser focus on a problem.”

The offense line was the clear cut glaring Achilles Heel for the Seahawks in 2024, and has been for several years. The inability to adequately protect quarterback Geno Smith wasn’t the only issue Seattle had. Their offensive line also struggled at times to open up rushing lanes for running backs, severely limiting balance on offense.
It won’t be easy for the Seahawks to accomplish this, but it is not unthinkable of doing. Even if Seattle can have an average line, it will open things up tremendously for this offense. The Seahawks may have to consider all options in order to find a way to get better up front.
