The Seattle Seahawks are arguably experiencing the craziest offseason of any team in the NFL. The Seahawks parted ways with starting quarterback Geno Smith and superstar wide receiver DK Metcalf by trading them to the Las Vegas Raiders and Pittsburgh Steelers respectively.

It seemed like it happened really quickly but we feel like we went through the process the right way and made the best decision for us."
