Good afternoon, 12s. Here's a look at what's going on out there and any news you might have missed, about your Seattle Seahawks this week

Seahawks Joint Practice

With how successful head coach Mike Macdonald felt joint practices with the Tennessee Titans went last preseason, the Seahawks will make another preseason joint practice trip this year. The Green Bay Packers will host Macdonald and company on August 21 ahead of their preseason matchup at Lambeau Field on August 23.

After a few days in Nashville last season, Macdonald called the experience an “overall net positive” for his team, adding. "I felt like we got great work with all ones, twos and threes, and special teams. Great to go against somebody else, like you said. And then, it's cool just to spend time with one another… Net positive for the whole week."

ESPN’s NFL All Quarter Century Team

ESPN put together a roster of the best NFL players since 2000 to mark a quarter of a century since that 2000 season. Aaron Schatz and Seth Walder built the 53-man roster and here are Seahawks who made the cut:

Left Guard

Steve Hutchinson

Teams: Seahawks (2001-05), Vikings (2006-11), Titans (2012)

Résumé since 2000: 169 starts, seven-time All-Pro

Hutchinson made the Pro Bowl every year from 2003 through 2009 and helped lead the 2005 Seahawks to Super Bowl XL, along with Walter Jones. There were a number of relatively equal, strong left guards to choose from, but we went with Hutchinson over Joel Bitonio, Logan Mankins and Quenton Nelson. His impact on the NFL also stretches past the field, as he was part of a deal that led to a rule change about contracts after the "poison pill" that kept Seattle from matching the contract he signed with Minnesota in 2006. – Schatz

Linebackers

Bobby Wagner

Teams: Seahawks (2012-21, 2023), Rams (2022), Commanders (2024-present)

Résumé since 2000: 35 sacks, 7 forced fumbles, 13 interceptions, one-time Super Bowl champion, 11-time All-Pro

Wagner has the same number of first-team All-Pro selections as Lewis (seven), which is more than any other linebacker since 2000. His 10 Pro Bowl selections don't even include the year he finished second in the Defensive Rookie of the Year balloting (2012) or the year he helped lead the Seahawks to a Super Bowl win (2013). Wagner also led the NFL in tackles three times. Since 2000, only London Fletcher has more tackles than Wagner's 1,838. – Schatz

Cornerbacks

Richard Sherman

Teams: Seahawks (2011-17), 49ers (2018-20), Buccaneers (2021)

Résumé since 2000: 5 forced fumbles, 37 interceptions, one-time Super Bowl champion, five-time All-Pro

Sherman headlined the "Legion of Boom" secondary that took over the NFL in the 2010s, making the game-clinching deflection that sent the Seahawks to their second Super Bowl appearance of the 21st century. And in retrospect, it's a testament to Sherman and Earl Thomas III (more on him later) that the emulations by other teams of Seattle's Cover 3 defense never had as much success as the original. From 2012 to 2014, Sherman earned three straight first-team All-Pro selections and recorded 20 interceptions. – Walder

Safeties

Earl Thomas III

Teams: Seahawks (2010-18), Ravens (2019)

Résumé since 2000: 12 forced fumbles, 30 interceptions, one-time Super Bowl champion, five-time All-Pro

Thomas doesn't have many impressive numbers because you don't accumulate numbers when nobody will throw near you. He shut down the deep part of the field for the Seahawks, earning a Pro Bowl nod in five straight seasons (2011-15). At his peak in 2013, Seattle was the No. 1 defense against both short passes and deep passes on the way to a Super Bowl XLVIII win. – Walder

Return Specialists

Devin Hester

Teams: Bears (2006-13), Falcons (2014-15), Ravens (2016), Seahawks (2016)

Résumé since 2000: 20 return touchdowns, 11,028 total return yards, four-time All-Pro

Though Hester is remembered for scoring on the opening kickoff in Super Bowl XLI, he was actually more prolific as a punt returner. Fourteen of his return touchdowns came off punts; no other player recorded more than four in that same span. In 2024, he became the first return specialist to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. – Walder

It's also worth noting, left tackle Walter Jones was mentioned on the list as a practice squad player, which to some, might be a snub given his resume that includes 180 starts, nine Pro Bowls, six AP All-Pro teams (first team in 2001, 2004, 2005, 2007, and second team in 2006 and 2008), part of the 2000s All-Decade Team and 100th Anniversary All-Time Team, and a Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee who helped pave the way for running back Shaun Alexander's 2005 NFL MVP season.
