Macdonald's defense will attempt to put pressure on Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy, who's expected to enter his first season as a starter in 2025. The Seahawks already ranked No. 10 in the NFL with 45 sacks last season and signed four-time Pro Bowl defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence in free agency.

The NFL released the 2025 schedule, and the Seahawks will start the season at home against the 49ers and will play four prime-time games.

The NFL schedule release has become a major event in recent years because the NFL does a tremendous job of marketing every single thing it does as a major event. What it also provides is the opportunity for the social media teams to showcase their creativity with schedule release videos.
