    Seahawks' Uchenna Nwosu: Scores in Super Bowl

    Nwosu returned an interception for a touchdown in Sunday's 29-13 win over the Patriots in the Super Bowl.

    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. Nwosu had a strong pass-rushing effort despite not recording a sack, too. 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' Michael Dickson: Busy in Super Bowl

    Dickson punted seven times for 335 yards (47.9 average) in Sunday's 29-13 win over the Patriots in the Super Bowl.

    Dickson had a long of 55 yards and landed three punts inside the 20-yard line, and most importantly, he allowed second-team All-Pro punt returner Marcus Jones to return just two punts for four yards. During the regular season, Dickson averaged 49.0 yards per punt (sixth) while earning second-team All-Pro honors. Dickson signed a four-year, $16.2 million extension last August to stick in Seattle through the 2029 season.

  • Derick Hall LB | SEA

    Seahawks' Derick Hall: Fantastic showing in Super Bowl

    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.

  • David Njoku TE | CLE

    Browns' David Njoku: Suggests time in Cleveland is up

    Njoku (knee) posted on his Instagram account Monday that it is time for him "to find a new home," Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

    Njoku just completed his ninth season with the Browns, posting a 33-293-4 line on 48 targets over 12 games. His catch, yardage and target totals were his lowest since 2020, due in part to injury (he missed five contests, including the final four of the season) but even more so because of the emergence of rookie TE Harold Fannin (groin). Njoku's contract is scheduled to void upon the start of the 2026 league year, and it sounds like the veteran out of Bowling Green won't be returning to Cleveland. Given the increasing importance of tight ends around the league, though, Njoku could still have multiple suitors in free agency.

  • Keion White DE | SF

    49ers' Keion White: Shot in ankle, undergoes surgery

    White was shot in the ankle early Monday morning and is expected to be OK after undergoing surgery, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

    Per Barrows, the shooting happened during an altercation that White is not believed to have been part of. The defensive end joined the 49ers via a trade with New England in late October and took on a significant rotational role both during the regular season and in the playoffs. White will be in the final year of his rookie contract in 2026, and while it sounds like Monday's events aren't expected to be career-threatening, it remains to be seen if the surgery he underwent will impact his availability for San Francisco's OTAs.

  • Seahawks' Byron Murphy: Two sacks in Super Bowl

    Murphy recorded 2.0 sacks and a fumble recovery in Sunday's 29-13 win over the Patriots in the Super Bowl.

    The Seahawks' front seven dominated in the trenches all game, bringing Patriots QB Drake Maye down six times. Murphy looked phenomenal, recording his first sacks since Week 13 while also helping shut down the Patriots' running backs to the tune of just 42 yards on 13 carries. The 2024 first-round pick finished the 2025 season with 71 tackles (28 solo), and 9.0 sacks through 20 games, including the postseason.

  • AJ Barner TE | SEA

    Seahawks' AJ Barner: Scores lone offensive touchdown

    Barner caught all four targets for 54 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 29-13 win over the Patriots in the Super Bowl.

    All four of Barner's catches went for first downs, and he finished second on the team in receiving yards behind Cooper Kupp (61). Barner's first postseason touchdown -- a 16-yard reception where he was wide open -- essentially put the game away for the Seahawks in the fourth quarter. The Seahawks trusted the second-year tight end with blocking and pass-catching duties all season, and he finished with 58 receptions for 586 yards and seven touchdowns across 20 games, including the postseason. He should be the leader for the No. 1 TE role in 2026 despite the addition of Elijah Arroyo -- a second-round pick in 2025.

  • George Holani RB | SEA

    Seahawks' George Holani: Three touches in Super Bowl

    Holani rushed twice for six yards and caught his lone target for seven yards in Sunday's 29-13 Super Bowl win over the Patriots.

    As expected, Kenneth Walker dominated the backfield, racking up 161 yards from scrimmage on 29 touches, but Holani was effective in his limited action. The second-year back out of Boise State finished the season with 27 carries for 83 yards (3.1 YPC) and a touchdown and six receptions for 49 yards through 13 games, including the postseason. With Rashid Shaheed on board, Holani's return duties evaporated in the second half, so he'll likely need to battle for a roster spot in 2026 regardless of the status of Zach Charbonnet (torn ACL).

  • Jason Myers K | SEA

    Seahawks' Jason Myers: Fantastic showing in Super Bowl

    Myers connected on all five field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries in Sunday's 29-13 win over the Patriots in the Super Bowl.

    Myers accounted for the Seahawks' first 12 points of the game, and he finished with 17 total points. The 34-year-old kicker completed a perfect postseason, drilling all eight field-goal attempts and 11 extra-point tries through three playoff games. Myers was dependable during the regular season, too, making 85 percent of his field goals and every extra point. He's heading into the final year of his contract but could be an extension candidate as the Seahawks look to retain their title in 2026.

  • Patriots' TreVeyon Henderson: Mixes in with Stevenson

    Henderson rushed the ball six times for 19 yards in Sunday's 29-13 loss to the Seahawks in Super Bowl LX. He added three receptions (on three targets) for 26 yards.

    Henderson's overall struggles to rush efficiently in the postseason continued in the Super Bowl, though the New England offense was stalled for much of the game. His overall production also was inflated by a 24-yard catch and run during the game's final plays. However, he had a fairly even split with Rhamondre Stevenson in terms of touches, and the former did manage long runs of nine and seven yards. Henderson is likely to begin the 2026 season on the smaller end of a backfield split in New England, though he showcased his ability to produce plenty on limited touches throughout his rookie season thanks to his big-play ability -- something that is likely to continue in his sophomore campaign.
