SBNation Reacts Results: Seahawks fans expecting 2024 to be a playoff year

Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Each week we ask questions of the most plugged-in Seattle Seahawks fans and fans across the country.

Aside from the schedule release, we’re in a bit of a quiet period for the NFL. So, why not break that up with a survey from DraftKings Sportsbook about both the Seahawks’ 2024 playoff chances and DK Metcalf’s long-term contract outlook.

First off, will the Seahawks make the playoffs in 2024 and if so, will they win the division or make it as a wild card?

Looks like fans are feeling pretty positive about the new regime – especially that 13% that think the Seahawks will win the division! Seattle was kept out of the postseason for the second time in three years, leading to Pete Carroll’s firing “decision to step down.” Enter Mike Macdonald, who had plenty of playoff experience with the Baltimore Ravens. It will be up to him to get more out of a talented roster that underachieved, according to GM John Schneider.

One of those players who could play a key role in making the postseason in 2024 is star WR DK Metcalf. He’s under contract through 2025 but the Seahawks could look to avoid any sort of contract impasse by extending him this offseason. Will they do it?

More than half of you think Seattle will lock up DK for the long term in the near future. I certainly wouldn’t be against it but it would be risky considering we haven’t seen how he’ll perform in new offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb’s offense. Then again, if he goes off for a career year, the price will only get higher. It’s not an easy decision…as evidenced by the closeness of the poll.

Field Gulls will keep you posted on any contract news or other Seahawks happenings as we continue on through the first offseason of the JSMM era.
