The Seahawks' offense played largely second-fiddle to the defense last season, but the group as a whole still has some fire to it.
Last season, the Seattle Seahawks had one of the most settled rosters in football, which ultimately led them to become Super Bowl champs.
The defense was ranked first in points allowed, just 17.2 per game, and the offense ranked third in scoring (28.4 points per game. Anytime you have that, you are going deep into the playoffs.
We know about the "Dark Side" as the Seattle defense terrorized teams all throughout the 2025 season, and the offense was nothing if not consistent.
But the group as a whole, how do they stack up against the other offenses in football?
Sam Darnold, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Cooper Kupp, Rashid Sheed, AJ Barner, and, for now, rookie Jadarian Price. That is the group that will be tasked with doing the heavy lifting for Brian Fleury.
Darnold is coming off a Pro Bowl season, JSN an All-Pro one, but those behind the pair can be considered good weapons; it is clear Seattle needs that group to step up in a big way.
For ESPN's Bill Barnwell, in ranking all NFL offenses by RB, WR, and TE, Seattle comes in at No. 11, up eight spots from the previous season.
"Behind Smith-Njigba, the Seahawks are hoping for a second playmaker to step up. Cooper Kupp and Rashid Shaheed are surprisingly both back for 2026, but Kupp had career lows in most receiving metrics last season, and Shaheed topped 30 receiving yards just three times across 12 games in a Seahawks uniform," Barnwell wrote.
"AJ Barner was a reliable pair of hands at tight end and caught seven touchdown passes, but the drop-off from Smith-Njigba to the rest of the receiving attack is too significant to rank the Seahawks any higher. Price's limited role as a receiver in college (18 career catches) makes me wonder whether he tops out as a two-down back at the pro level."
There is still plenty of upside for the group, with Barner coming off the best year of his young career, while we wait to see what Price becomes.
As for JSN, how he fares after such an incredible season will be a fascinating watch, with defenses now surely focused on taking him away each week.
There is no denying that Darnold has a good collection of weapons, and if all improve, even five percent, the offense should be in good order.
While not enough to be considered among the NFL's elite, they will be close enough.
Now, is it enough to win a Super Bowl? It was last year, but that was with Kenneth Walker, so can Seattle get enough from the rushing attack? That's the big question.
Right now, having the Seahawks' offensive trio just outside the top 10 feels right, but can they move inside it?
We're about to find out.
