Slam dunk GM of the year = John Schneider

[Ruminator]

Especially now that Sam Darnold has made the Pro Bowl:

Yet he still won’t get it

And all 4 early picks from the Russell trade are solid starters on top of it.

 

[Dolomight12]

Pudding chock-full of proof!

 

[cymatica]

Russell Wilson is a nice fella

 

[projectorfreak]

It's really crazy the things over the years he's done and hasn't won it once or am I wrong
Just 2012 alone should put him in some kind of hall and the last couple years he has been really , really good not just drafting but with trades and acquisitions , and masterful this year

Jeremy Fowler giving some love to JS for Executive of the Year:

"Seattle GM John Schneider hasn't won Executive of the Year since taking over the Seahawks' personnel operation in 2010. This feels like his year. Seattle has done a masterful job of roster building without the support of a generational passer. Schneider's Russell Wilson trade in 2022 helped replenish the roster with several impact players. Dealing Geno Smith and DK Metcalf in March were bold moves that paid off. The Sam Darnold acquisition proved to be an upgrade while saving millions compared to what Smith earned in Las Vegas. And Seattle's past three drafts have produced at least five bona fide or emerging stars: Jaxon Smith-Njigba (2023), Devon Witherspoon (2023), Byron Murphy II (2024), Grey Zabel (2025) and Nick Emmanwori (2025).

Schneider also made one of the best hires of the most recent coaching cycles with Mike Macdonald, who can match wits with Kyle Shanahan and Sean McVay in the NFC West. It's hard to ignore what Seattle has done. In addition, Schneider's assistant general manager, Nolan Teasley, could garner GM interest during this cycle."

I've seen a few articles and commentaries on JS for Exec of the year recently and while they mostly focus on player acquisition and the PC/MM transition, I want to call out how he's managed all this change while keeping the salary cap healthy.

That's 15 years of not having to have a fire sale or take a holiday from FA because we've been strapped for cash. The Rams, the 9ers, Eagles, etc all had to tank and rebuild too; while we bottomed out at 7 wins before bouncing back.

PC/JS ushered in a golden era of Seahawk football and now we're seeing how relevant JS is and was to our success.

It's hilarious how every malcontent pushes their way off the team and we keep finding trade partners for them.

Not sure where the write-up originated from that Nemhauser shared, but evidently, someone's noticing Seahawks and John S this year:

 

[AROS]

Long overdue.

 

[glenwo2]

Wait! You mean it's official?

He's the Exec of the Year?

 

[chris98251]

Have not seen anything official, won't get excited till then. After all one draft pick by the Colts and he was awarded it when John should have got it then.

 

[Dolomight12]

JOHN WON!!!

Bout damn time!

In case some haven't found it, link to Tom Pelissero's write-up, which also identifies JSN as OPOY - but nothing official, I believe:
