Since taking the reins as Seahawks general manager in 2010, John Schneider has been as active moving up and down the draft board as any executive in the NFL. What moves rank as his best? And which ones left him with the most remorse?

When it comes to competing for an NFC West title and a return to the postseason, all eyes will be on Sam Darnold and Cooper Kupp as newcomers filling big shoes. But the Seahawks will only go as far as their most maligned unit, which looks largely unchanged, performs under a new coaching staff.

Three years ago, John Schneider managed to keep the Seahawks competitive after moving on from Russell Wilson. But with a better roster in tow this time around, pressure mounts with him tasked to find a quality replacement for Geno Smith at a critical time for the franchise.

Poor offensive line play has been a signature problem for the Seahawks over the years, but John Schneider will be counting on a revamped coaching staff and a new scheme to help turn the tide up front.

Conducting business behind the scenes, the Seahawks have sights set on striking new contracts with two of their most important players during or shortly after the annual NFL combine.

Mike Macdonald didn’t fly to Indianapolis for the NFL combine last season as he assembled his first coaching staff, but he will be on site this time around as the Seahawks launch a critical offseason.

When it comes to paying offensive linemen, John Schneider has been as frugal as any general manager in the NFL. Do his latest comments hint that the Seahawks may change their ways this offseason?

John Schneider still has plenty of work left to do shoring up the Seahawks’ financials before free agency begins, but a skyrocketing salary cap will make the process easier.
