The NFL Combine's first day was packed, showcasing elite talent among defensive ends, tackles, and linebackers. Seattle Seahawks' GM John Schneider reaffirmed Gino Smith as the starting quarterback for 2025, indicating ongoing discussions for a contract extension, which could provide greater salary cap flexibility. The team is considering potential trades, particularly involving veteran safety Raan Jenkins, to open up cap space while relying on younger, emerging talents like Kobe Bryant and Julian Love.
