The Seahawks had a lively practice on Thursday afternoon at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center. There felt like there was more buzz than usual and that could have been that the Seahawks were closing out their three-day minicamp before players head out for the summer, before returning for training camp in July. It also could be that the Seahawks will also be receiving their Super Bowl LX rings at a private ceremony on Thursday. But as Leonard Williams said, "We're excited. But I think it's just our culture. I think that's what I love about it. I think regardless of the situation, regardless if we were getting our rings today or it's the last day of practice, breaking for OTAs, I think we just play with passion, energy. We love each other. We love coming to work. So I think any given day, we're having these type of practices."
Left guard Grey Zabel said, "What a better way to kind of celebrate the end of OTAs and minicamp, then to have this kind of party… It's going to be great. We're going to have a ton of fun. Probably have a few brewskis in there tonight and enjoy each other."
Williams, who is entering his 12th season, will be getting his first Super Bowl ring.
"I was talking about how last night felt like Christmas Eve for me," he said. "It was hard for me to go to sleep. It was hard for me to stay asleep. I was waking up at, like 3 or 5 a.m. just excited for today. I'm excited for my teammates and it's just going to feel like a reunion and, kind of make us relive that moment of grinding all last season and this is our reward."
Zabel joked about the fact that he will be getting a Super Bowl ring after just his first season has made some of his friends around the league a little upset.
"I do got some other buddies in the NFL that are pretty, pretty mad that Year 1, made it happen," Zabel said. "It's one of those deals that'll probably wear it tonight, then throw it in the safe and move on to next year and go try and get that second one."
The idea of throwing the ring in the safe and moving on is right in line with the messaging head coach Mike Macdonald has been implementing since winning the big game. Macdonald has fostered the idea to "run it forward," different than the usual "run it back" phrase a lot of sports teams use after winning a championship.
"In my mind, I've kind of moved forward a little bit," right tackle Abe Lucas said. "But there's, like, an official cap off to last year, then like Mike said, run it forward to the next year."
The mindset and phrase is resonating with players.
"I think it's the epitome of a championship team mindset that, you know you did it great, but you got to keep going," Lucas said. "You know, there's no time to really dilly dally on it. I mean, you have events like this tonight that'll take place where you celebrate it, but after tonight, it's not going to matter for next year."
Zabel said the ring ceremony will "kind of put the final bow on this past season, and then at the end of the day, like, it's June of '26. We got to start preparing for this next year and kind of understand we're a new team. Got a lot of new pieces and figure out how to win games this next year."
While the players are in the mindset to "run it forward," they haven't seen the ring and are excited to finally get theirs.
"I want to know if my hand is just going to completely fall down to my waist with how heavy it is," Zabel said. "A lot of people are saying it's a big ring, but it's one of those deals it's going to be cool to celebrate."
