Even after three (3) emergency pods in the last week, we’ve still got more thoughts on the Seahawks’ offseason, including their subsequent additions of DeMarcus Lawrence and Marquez Valdes-Scantling and a farewell to Tyler Lockett. Plus a big weekend for UW softball’s stars, the Sounders crash out of CONCACAF Champions League and UW women’s hoops will be on the bubble through Selection Sunday.

Days after trading starting QB Geno Smith, the Seahawks found his replacement Monday by agreeing to terms with Vikings free agent Sam Darnold. We debate the chances of Darnold being an upgrade on Smith and why the process might be good either way, plus react to Sunday’s trade sending WR DK Metcalf to the Steelers.

We’re saying a number of farewells this week, from a Seattle BBQ institution to a beloved Peltoncast hero who signed with the Texas Rangers. But we’re also celebrating the start of Seattle Burger Month, cautiously optimistic about the Mariners re-signing Jorge Polanco and encouraged by UW men’s basketball getting its first Big Ten road win.

After the Storm struck a three-team trade fulfilling Jewell Loyd’s trade request by sending her to the Las Vegas Aces and getting back the No. 2 pick in this year’s draft plus a 2026 first-rounder, we look at how the Storm could make a bid for Paige Bueckers, options if they stay at No. 2 and how this year’s roster shapes up. Plus Franck Kepnang’s return couldn’t quite get the UW men over the hump and we look at the Seahawks hiring Klint Kubiak as offensive coordinator.
