With the full NFL schedule unveiled on Wednesday, here\u2019s a look at a persistent theme throughout the Seahawks\u2019 2025 slate<\/a> \u2013 reunion games that feature a notable player or coach squaring off against his former team.<\/p>\n \u2022 Preseason Week 1 vs. Las Vegas Raiders: The reunion theme actually begins in August, when former Pete Carroll and Geno Smith return to Seattle in the preseason opener. Carroll, the most successful coach in Seahawks history, is heading into his first year as the Raiders\u2019 head coach. And while Smith likely won\u2019t play in this game, he\u2019ll be back in the same stadium where he spent his past six seasons \u2013 including the past three as Seattle\u2019s starting quarterback \u2013 before he was traded to Las Vegas<\/a> in March.<\/p>\n \u2022 Week 2 at Pittsburgh Steelers: The other big trade the Seahawks made this offseason featured two-time Pro Bowl wide receiver DK Metcalf, who was dealt to Pittsburgh<\/a> just two days after Smith was sent to Las Vegas. Metcalf reportedly requested the trade, so this game certainly carries added intrigue both for Seattle and Metcalf.<\/p>\n \u2022 Week 3 vs. New Orleans Saints: First-year Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak gets an early chance to face the team he served as the OC for last season. Kubiak\u2019s Saints put up 91 points over their first two games last year, but things quickly went downhill after a slew of injuries. Kubiak took the Seattle OC job in January, with his future in New Orleans uncertain after\u00a0head coach Dennis Allen was fired midway through the 2024 campaign.<\/p>\n \u2022 Week 9 at Washington Commanders: There are two Legion of Boom-era ties in this matchup. Six-time All-Pro linebacker Bobby Wagner, who spent 11 storied seasons in Seattle, is back for his second season with the Commanders. And Dan Quinn, who was the Seahawks\u2019 defensive coordinator in 2013 and 2014, is heading into his second year as Washington\u2019s head coach. Wagner and Quinn are coming off a trip to the NFC championship game.<\/p>\n \u2022 Week 11 at Los Angeles Rams: Veteran wide receiver Cooper Kupp, who signed a three-year deal with Seattle<\/a> in March, returns to Los Angeles to face his former team for the first time. Kupp had a standout eight-year run with the Rams, including a massive 2021 campaign that earned him NFL Offensive Player of the Year honors. Kupp sits fourth on the Rams\u2019 all-time receiving list, but was released by Los Angeles this offseason after dealing with injuries in recent years and carrying a large salary.<\/p>\n \u2022 Week 12 at Tennessee Titans: After releasing veteran wideout Tyler Lockett in a salary cap-clearing move<\/a> this offseason, the Seahawks are set to face Lockett\u2019s new team in November. Lockett piled up 8,594 receiving yards and 61 touchdown catches over his 10-year run in Seattle, which ranks second all-time in franchise history. Two other former Seahawks \u2013 outside linebacker Dre\u2019Mont Jones and linebacker Cody Barton \u2013 are also on the Titans.<\/p>\n \u2022 Week 13 vs. Minnesota Vikings:\u00a0On Dec. 22, 2024, Sam Darnold threw a go-ahead 39-yard touchdown pass<\/a> in the closing minutes to give the Vikings a late-season win over the Seahawks at Lumen Field. The two teams meet again this November, but this time Darnold is expected to be quarterbacking the opposite team. After reviving his career with a breakout 2024 campaign in Minnesota, Darnold signed a three-year, $100.5 million deal with the Seahawks<\/a> in March and is their presumptive starting QB for 2025.<\/p>\n \u2022 Week 16 vs. Los Angeles Rams: Five weeks after his return to Los Angeles, Kupp gets another chance to face his former team when the Rams make their annual visit to Lumen Field.<\/p>\n More on the Seahawks<\/p>\n \u2022\u00a0Brock and Salk react to Seattle Seahawks\u2019 2025 schedule<\/a>
