Still waiting for that clip where Russell days, "Go Donks!"
With Russell gone, I'm having a hard time thinking of any disgruntled players. If a lot of the lesser-paid guys are overperforming their contracts and the Hawks are winning like 2012-14, sure, there will be lots of guys after bigger deal$.
To me, this next season has kind of a 2011-run-it-back vibe to it. That was TJack's last year as a starter, before Russell, and you could see the transition from Holmgren's "Finesse" Hawks to Carroll's "Smashmouth" Hawks. Beating the SB champs from the year before, and the SB champs to be, the Giants and Ravens, that was the year we knew these were not your father's Seahawks.
What I always think of as the coming-of-age game for Carroll's Seahawks, in the Meadowlands, where Giants had the ball at the Seattle 10, and Eli was about to lead the Giants to a late, game-winning TD, per the script. After all, Seattle had lost 8 straight Eastern Time Zone early games. Then Kam tips a ball to Brandon Browner who goes about 94 yards the other way for a pick-6, putting the Hawks up by 2 scores, as the NY announcers watched in shock and had to fumble for words. Heck, even Clipboard Jesus had a nice TD pass that game after TJack got sidelined with a shoulder injury.
This season, I think Carroll and the Hawks get back to *real* Pete-ball, adjusted for NFL rule changes, with a strong D, good running game, and a CHEAP game-manager QB. I think we're around .500 and maybe even a wildcard if Lock or other QB exceeds expectations. The disgruntledness doesn't really start until the team's been WINNING with tons of players over-performing their contracts.
