Assessing Seahawks' biggest "what if" need for Super Bowl run in 2026
Within the Seahawks’ offense may be the key to the team winning the Super Bowl next season.
The Seattle Seahawks have legitimate aspirations for a Super Bowl run in the upcoming 2026 NFL season. However, several factors will need to align for the team to claim the ultimate championship title. One of the biggest concerns lies at the running back position, where rookie Jadarian Price will likely shoulder the majority of carries in the first few games.
Additionally, the Seahawks have faced questions at cornerback following the departure of veteran Tariq Woolen in free agency, despite the development of young talent in the draft. The most critical scenario for the team next season, according to Bleacher Report's Brad Gagnon, may revolve around offensive performance under new offensive coordinator Brian Fleury with a revamped offensive backfield.
If the Seahawks can navigate the loss of offensive play-caller Klint Kubiak and key contributor Kenneth Walker III, a team adorned with a championship banner from last season could still make a deep playoff run in 2026. Kubiak's offensive strategies played a significant role in securing the Vince Lombardi Trophy last year. With Fleury leading the offense, the Seahawks must adapt to the new system and roles, particularly with Rashid Shaheed expected to receive more passing targets.
A successful campaign under Fleury could open the door for a second consecutive Super Bowl victory for the Seahawks.
