## Resource

The countdown begins. Today on Seahawks Forever, we launch our Top 20 Most Important Seahawks series with the first two players on the list — two names who may not be the flashiest stars on the roster, but both could matter a lot to Seattle’s 2026 season. One is a sneaky waiver-wire find who has turned into real roster value. The other is one of the trusted “glue” pieces on Mike Macdonald’s league-leading defense — the kind of player whose value goes beyond the box score. Plus, we’ll open the show with a Seahawks ownership update and clear up a few misconceptions about where things stand in the sale process, what we actually know, and what still remains speculation. On today’s show: • Launching the Top 20 Most Important Seahawks series • Why “important” does not always mean “best” • Two underrated players who help explain Seattle’s roster depth • A defensive glue guy on Mike Macdonald’s elite unit • A waiver-wire find who became a bigger piece than expected • Seahawks ownership update and sale-process misconceptions This is the start of a daily countdown through the most important players on Seattle’s roster heading into the 2026 season.
