He was cleared to return in time for the team's win over New England in Super Bowl LX, though Surratt didn't ultimately play any snaps during that contest.

Rotowire
Woolen agreed to terms Tuesday on a one-year, $15 million contract with the Eagles, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Woolen entered the league as a fifth-round pick of the Seahawks in 2022 and started 46 of 48 games through his first three seasons, registering 41 pass breakups and 11 interceptions in that stretch. Although he started just seven games in 2025, Woolen still averaged 51.0 defensive snaps per game and recorded 41 tackles (33 solo), 12 pass breakups and an interception. Woolen is an unmatched athlete who has shown some flaws as a tackler, but he should be a sturdy addition to the Eagles' secondary nonetheless.

He appears to have earned a starting role for 2026 as well.

Seahawks' Ty Okada: Gets tendered by Seattle
Rotowire
The Seahawks tendered Okada to a one-year, league-minimum contract Monday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
By being tendered as an exclusive rights free agent, Okada will not have the ability to negotiate a contract with another team this offseason. The Montana State product played in nine regular-season games from 2023 to 2024 and saw limited playing time. However, Okada started in 11 of 17 regular-season games in 2025 due to various injuries in the Seahawks' secondary and finished with 65 tackles (46 solo), including 1.5 sacks, six pass defenses (one interception) and one fumble recovery. Given his strong play last season, Okada should have a shot at earning a more permanent role on defense in 2026.

Seahawks' Nick Emmanwori: Excels as rookie
Rotowire
Emmanwori finished the 2025 regular season with 81 tackles (56 solo), 2.5 sacks, 11 pass breakups and an interception through 14 games. He added 13 tackles (10 solo) and four pass breakups through three postseason outings.
Emmanwori was a finalist for Defensive Rookie of the Year and played a significant role in the Seahawks' path to the Super Bowl. The second-round pick is officially listed as a defensive back, and his ability to move around the formation allowed the Seahawks to keep him on the field regardless of the situation. Emmanwori proved to be a capable run-stopper and pass-rusher when operating as a linebacker, and his coverage skills exceeded expectations as a rookie while still having some room to grow. His flexibility in the formation was vital to keeping offenses guessing. We should expect Emmanwori to continue his upward trajectory in the 2026 season.

Seahawks' Drake Thomas: Breaks out in 2025
Rotowire
Thomas finished the 2025 regular season with 96 tackles (47 solo), 10.0 tackles for loss, 3.5 sacks, eight pass breakups and an interception through 17 regular-season games. He added 18 tackles (seven solo) through three playoff games.
Thomas didn't begin the year as a starter, but he quickly overtook Tyrice Knight (concussion) for the top strongside linebacker job after just a couple of weeks. A third-year pro our of NC State, Thomas averaged 44.6 defensive snaps per game and finished second on the team in tackles and second in tackles for loss. Thomas is poised to be a restricted free agent this offseason.

Rotowire
Witherspoon recorded four solo tackles, 1.0 sacks and a pass breakup in Sunday's 29-13 win over the Patriots in the Super Bowl.

Seahawks' Julian Love: Nabs INT in Super Bowl
Rotowire
Love recorded three tackles (two solo) and an interception in Sunday's 29-13 win over the Patriots in the Super Bowl.
Patriots QB Drake Maye threw an errant deep pass right into Love's handles in the fourth quarter, and the veteran safety returned it for 35 yards. Love missed eight games with a hamstring injury earlier this season, but he was quite dependable when healthy and finished the year with 43 tackles (29 solo), seven pass breakups, 1.0 sacks and two interceptions through 11 games, including the postseason. Love is under contract through the 2027 season and will have a $12.9 million cap hit next year.

Jones made 11 tackles (10 solo) in Sunday's 29-13 win over the Patriots in the Super Bowl.
The Seahawks shut down the Patriots' running backs to the tune of just 42 yards on 13 carries (3.1 YPC). Jones was instrumental in that effort, as he was all season.

Patriots QB Drake Maye's arm was hit as he was throwing, and Nwosu was able to snag the ball and return it 46 yards for a touchdown, sealing the Seahawks' victory in the fourth quarter.

Through 18 games including the postseason, the veteran edge rusher stacked up 37 tackles (18 solo), 7.0 sacks and three pass breakups. The 30-year-old is heading into the final year of his contract, carrying a $20.0 million cap hit.

Seahawks' Derick Hall: Fantastic showing in Super Bowl
Rotowire
Hall recorded 2.0 sacks and a forced fumble in Sunday's 29-13 win over the Patriots in the Super Bowl.
The Seahawks' plethora of pass rushers was a difference maker in this game, and Hall was legitimately in the MVP conversation with his performance. Hall recorded just 2.0 sacks through 14 regular-season games, but he matched that total on the biggest stage. The 2023 second-round pick dropped Patriots QB Drake Maye for a 10-yard loss on the first drive of the game. He added a strip-sack in the waning seconds of the third quarter with the ball being recovered by second-year DT Byron Murphy. Hall will be in the final year of his rookie contract in 2026, making him an extension candidate this offseason.

The 2024 first-round pick finished the 2025 season with 71 tackles (28 solo), and 9.0 sacks through 20 games, including the postseason.

Seahawks' Tyrice Knight: Possible concussion
Rotowire
Knight is being evaluated for a possible concussion and is questionable to return to Super Bowl LX against the Patriots.
Knight left the game in the third quarter after suffering a potential head injury. The strongside linebacker is a rotational part of the Seahawks' defensive and special teams units. If the 25-year-old cannot return to the game, starter Drake Thomas will likely need to take on a further increased snap share.
