The news was revealed at the NFL\u2019s annual league meeting in Arizona on Monday. For good measure, the New England Patriots are already booked for 2027 to end their Hard Knocks drought.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Seahawks were approached for Hard Knocks prior to the 2012 and 2013 seasons, with John Schneider expressing his lack of desire to see HBO and NFL Films pulling up to Renton to film them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1teeyfa8 ls9zuh1\">\u201cWe understand the interest in this show, but would not want to bring a ton of attention to ourselves,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/news\/seattle-seahawks-say-no-thanks-to-hard-knocks-0ap1000000210096\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Schneider said at the time<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">There was once strict criteria for NFL teams to be Hard Knocks eligible, but those have been eased and<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/nfl\/news\/nfl-changes-hard-knocks-rules-removes-provision-that-limited-teams-from-not-appearing-on-show\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> the Seahawks fit the bill as a team<\/a> that just has to be filmed for \u201cbehind the scenes\u201d television that was once cutting edge and now is anything but.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">On the plus side, if you\u2019re going to training camp, perhaps this is your chance to end up on HBO and say you were on the same network that had Succession, The Wire, Euphoria, Entourage, Game of Thrones, Veep, The Sopranos, Curb Your Enthusiasm, The Larry Sanders Show, Taxicab Confessions, and Arli$$.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Perhaps I\u2019m being too cynical!
