Seahawks retain Benton to anchor offensive line in 2026
Seattle is retaining offensive line coach John Benton for 2026, keeping the key figure behind Seattle’s improved O-line after other coaches left for the Raiders. His unit helped lift pass and run-block win rates to 12th and 8th, contributed to a low sack rate for quarterback Sam Darnold, and saw the rushing attack trend upward late in the year behind Kenneth Walker III and Zach Charbonnet.
