Wilson threw 259 completions for 3,113 yards in 14 games. He also racked up 25 touchdowns with only six interceptions. Wilson spent a lot of the 2021 season dealing with a finger issue. He has also been a part of trade rumors since the last offseason, and in January, it was reported that he wanted to explore his options.
Meanwhile, Penny led the team in rushing, picking up 749 yards on 119 attempts over ten games. He broke out in the second half of the season when Chris Carson injured his neck. Penny averaged 6.3 yards per carry to Carson’s 4.3.
Seattle finished the season fourth in the NFC West with a 7-10 record but did close things out on a two-game winning streak.
Over at FanDuel Sportsbook, the Seahawks are +3600 to win Super Bowl LVII.
