The 12s are absolutely buzzing with excitement over rookie minicamp media drops, though there’s an undercurrent of anxiety regarding the front office’s lack of commitment to signing or trading for a proven defensive end. Outside of the roster, community chatter is heavily focused on apparel today—ranging from a hilariously botched orange-tinted Cortez Kennedy knockoff jersey to discussions about swapping nameplates—while fans collectively roll their eyes at The Athletic handing Seattle an “F” grade for the 2026 Draft.
