“Every team is going to grow every year, that’s just the way it is in the NFL,” Macdonald said. “We don’t play them tomorrow, so I’m not worried about them now.”
“No response,” he added. “I mean, look, these are great players, and they’re doing what they’re doing. It probably feels like it’s what’s best for their teams, what they need to do, and that’s good. When it’s time to play these guys, we’ll be ready and put together a game plan and go rock and roll.”
The Seahawks made their own moves, locking up Jaxon Smith-Njigba long-term, drafting Jadarian Price in the first round and adding some young pieces on defense. However, the losses were significant, including Kenneth Walker III, Boye Mafe and Tariq Woolen leaving in free agency.
The departures, along with the Rams and 49ers making splash moves, have the Super Bowl champions somewhat ignored nationally. Macdonald doesn’t give up.
“Yeah, I don’t mind,” Macdonald said. “Never mind. If you start worrying about what everyone else is doing, it’s just mentally taxing. It’s so much easier if you don’t.
“Let’s just worry about the Seahawks and being the best version of ourselves and getting better every day.”
