What do you do when you dominate, win the Super Bowl, dominate again and then lose the Super Bowl? You make a blockbuster trade to acquire one of the most versatile offensive weapons in the league, of course. The Seahawks came into last season as the team to beat and they looked to be on their way to repeating as Super Bowl champions. Even though they came up just short, they hardly needed a monstrous offseason to come back swinging in 2015.
The trade for New Orleans Saints tight end Jimmy Graham is massive and provided Russell Wilson, already one of the more resourceful and decisive quarterbacks in the league, the most reliable target he could ever need. On top of all of this, the Seahawks are still young and just as talented on the defensive side of the ball. They made the big splash even when they didn't need to, and there's no reason to suspect it won't pay off.
Key Players
Jordan Hill, DT
Defensive tackle Jordan Hill has a vital role to play as an inside pass rusher in Seattle's dominant defense.
Doug Baldwin, WR
Pros: Beat up Percy Harvin; Steady receiver who's there when you need him.
Cons: Pretended to poop a football to celebrate a touchdown. (Which could also be a pro).
