Seahawks Forever is where I get to take all my passion, knowledge and insight into the Seattle Seahawks and roll it into one. I've been covering the team in one form or another since 1991, as a television journalist, web writer and podcaster. What you'll find here is my analysis and opinions on what the team is doing, or SHOULD be doing, on the field and off. From the draft and free agency, to everything that happens once the pads go on..... join me and my roster of fellow journalists and analysts for what I feel is the best Seahawks content around. Go Hawks!!","last_synced_at":"2026-07-30T08:21:29.669403+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/seahawks-forever-w-dan-viens-7264453"},"episode":{"title":"SEAHAWKS Top 20 Most Important Players Countdown Starts NOW + Latest Ownership Update","slug":"seahawks-top-20-most-important-players-countdown-starts-now-latest-ownership-update","published_at":"2026-07-01T17:45:25+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/seahawks-forever-w-dan-viens-7264453/seahawks-top-20-most-important-players-countdown-starts-now-latest-ownership-update","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/seahawks-forever-w-dan-viens-7264453","url":"https://seahawks-forever-w-dan-viens.simplecast.com/episodes/seahawks-top-20-most-important-players-countdown-starts-now-latest-ownership-update-6QbRxSDx","audio_url":"https://pscrb.fm/rss/p/mgln.ai/e/256/bluewire.simplecastaudio.com/4dee7f00-003e-4bdf-8a34-f5b35c4512ea/episodes/27647618-100a-42b0-a7b7-93cf2449f772/audio/128/default.mp3?aid=rss_feed&awCollectionId=4dee7f00-003e-4bdf-8a34-f5b35c4512ea&awEpisodeId=27647618-100a-42b0-a7b7-93cf2449f772&feed=wxrdqUqc","summary":"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.","meta_description":"The countdown begins.
