It’s been one heck of challenging week for Seattle Seahawks fans.

As if missing the playoffs for the first time in six years wasn’t a tough enough pill to swallow on its own, fans were subjected to a 24-hour horror movie watching star cornerback Richard Sherman get cut and swiftly agree to a three-year contract with the hated 49ers.

With Sherman and Michael Bennett on the way out and rumors still swirling about a potential trade involving All-Pro safety Earl Thomas, the Seahawks have started the painful yet necessary process of dismantling one of the best defenses in NFL history. More moves will be made in the coming weeks, bringing an end to an era.

But before fans hit the panic button, it’s worth noting that the Seahawks still have one of the NFL’s best quarterbacks in the league. If the front office finally decides to invest in building around Russell Wilson rather than shelling out big bucks defensively and neglecting the offensive line, there’s still hope that this roster can be molded into a championship-caliber one.
