The Seahawks know Russell Wilson will be the Hawks’ main gunslinger for the 2014 season. But with Tarvaris Jackson, Terrelle Pryor and B.J. Daniels all vying to be the team’s back-up, we should see plenty of action from the trio Thursday. Who plays after Wilson may be a good indication of if the Hawks will go with experience (Jackson), versatility (Pryor) or the unknown (Daniels).
The competition for wide reciever has grown in recent weeks, especially since the Hawks picked two players — Paul Richardson and Kevin Norwood — in the 2014 NFL Draft. With Harvin, Doug Baldwin, Jermaine Kearse and Paul Richardson as most likely to make the team, there’s only two spots left for the Hawks, who have never carried more than six receivers into the season.
Now that Golden Tate is gone, one of the biggest offseason questions is who will stand bacj to return a punt. Rumors of Earl Thomas, Percy Harvin, Doug Baldwin and even Richard Sherman have floated about. Who gets the first punt could be a good hint of who will return them for the bulk of the season

The Broncos is always going to be a serious threat to get back to the big one as long as five-time MVP Peyton Manning returned, but by “winning” free agency, the Broncos have seemingly lapped an AFC field they were already dominating.
John Elway’s handiwork in free agency resulted in a haul which not only placed wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders in the Rocky Mountains but also high-profile defensive targets like pass rusher DeMarcus Ware, shutdown cornerback Aqib Talib and ascending young safety T.J. Ward.
The Broncos obviously have quite an array of offensive weapons and Sanders, a free agent pickup from Pittsburgh, will be asked to hit the ground running and help replace the production of the departed Eric Decker
