I joined the Seattle Seahawks as a contracted writer in July 2020. My main role is to write the daily “Round-Up” article on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday each week. In addition to those three stories each week, I am available for extra work whenever it is needed. The extra work includes features and stories on team events held in the community. I also filled in for the Seahawks’ team reporter in November 2020 while he was on paternity leave. During that month, I was the full-time writer for the team from Monday-Wednesday each week. This included writing news stories, analysis pieces and press conference reactions, along with my usual Round-Ups.

This page includes a variety of stories from my time with the Seahawks — Round-Ups, features, community stories and more.

D.J. Reed Joins The Athletic's "Seahawks Man 2 Man" Podcast

Cornerback D.J. Reed was one of the brightest stories of the Seahawks' 2020 season. After tearing his pectoral and being waived by the 49ers over the summer, he quickly landed in Seattle. From there, Reed was a man on a mission. He recovered from the torn pec faster than expected and made his Seahawks debut in a Nov. 1 win over his former squad.

In 10 games with the Seahawks last season, Reed totaled 59 tackles, seven passes defensed and two interceptions. He started nine of the Seahawks' final 10 games, including the NFC Wild Card against the Rams.

Last week, Reed joined The Athletic's Michael-Shawn Dugar and Christopher Kidd on their podcast, "Seahawks Man 2 Man." In the episode, Reed discussed how he recovered so quickly from the torn pec, why he thought the Seahawks were a Super Bowl-caliber team last season and more.
