The Seattle Seahawks made some big moves this offseason. They traded away quarterback Geno Smith and wide receiver DK Metcalf. They replaced both with free agency additions, coming to terms with Sam Darnold, who will replace Smith, and Cooper Kupp, who will take Metcalf's spot.

The Seattle Seahawks were expected to struggle when they traded away nine-time Pro Bowl quarterback Russell Wilson and named veteran Geno Smith as their starter. Smith, who became an opening day starter for the first time since 2014, had been written off by the national media. The only problem, he would later say, was that he didn't write back.
