Seahawks' Off-Season Checklist

The Seattle Seahawks finished 10-6, making a return to the playoffs. Unfortunately, their season ended with an encounter with the Dallas Cowboys. What do the Seahawks need to do to get back to Super Bowl contention?

• Extend Russell Wilson: It's not often you see quarterbacks in the NFL under six feet tall, yet manage to be one of the most versatile, reliable players in the league. Enter Russell Wilson, whose in the last year of his contract. The Seahawks should make extending Wilson a priority if they want sustainable success in the future.
  
• Give Wilson Some Receivers: The run game for the Seahawks saw a renaissance, leading the league in rushing yards per game (160 per game). However, the passing game was lackluster, only amassing 193.3 yards per game (tied for 27th in the NFL). Options for the Seahawks include Jordy Nelson, a reunion with Jermaine Kearse, or drafting D.K. Metcalf if he's still on the board.
  
• Find a Way to Replace Earl Thomas: The Seahawks lost one of the most dynamic playmakers on defense in Earl Thomas after he left for Baltimore. Safety will be a position of need as a result. Luckily for Seattle, this is a deep defensive draft, which Seattle can pick up a safety in the later rounds.
