SEATTLE -- The Seattle Seahawks open the 2024 NFL regular season against the Denver Broncos on Sept. 8 at Lumen Field.
They'll do so with a new head coach in Mike Macdonald -- the youngest in the NFL at 37 years old -- but not an entirely new roster.
To be sure, general manager John Schneider armed Pete Carroll's replacement with several notable additions this offseason, including a trade for backup quarterback Sam Howell and the selection of defensive tackle Byron Murphy II at No. 16 overall. They also replaced both starting inside linebackers, moved on from two of their top three safeties and remade the interior of their offensive line, among other changes.
Add it all up, and the turnover was somewhere between the usual roster churn in any given year and the rebuilds that often come with coaching changes. While the Seahawks will look different in 2024, the core of the teams that went 9-8 in each of Carroll's final two seasons remains largely intact.
Here is a projection on what their 53-man roster will look like by the time the season begins:
QUARTERBACKS (2): Geno Smith, Sam Howell
