The Seattle Seahawks walked off the field after a tough 17-7 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, and honestly, the Emerald City faithful are feeling that one. A ten-point defeat, and it wasn’t pretty. You could feel the air go out of T-Mobile Park when that final score hit, even if our boys were playing down in Dallas.
While We’re Picking Up the Pieces, Others Are Grinding
Look, even when our boys are hurting after a game, the league doesn’t sleep. The Indianapolis Colts, for example, were busy making moves, bringing in a handful of veteran players for workouts this past Saturday. It just shows you how every team is always on the hunt, constantly evaluating talent to strengthen their roster. It’s a never-ending grind out there, even when our own score sheet is making us grimace.
Who Are These Vets Still Out There Making Noise?
The Colts really focused on the receiver position, bringing in three veteran wideouts. First up was Josh Reynolds, a former 2017 fourth-round pick. This dude has been around, playing for the Rams, Titans, Lions, Broncos, Jaguars, and Jets. He’s got 244 receptions for 3,228 total receiving yards, averaging 13.2 yards per reception, with 20 touchdowns across 121 career games, starting 58 of them. That’s a lot of mileage and production.
Then they checked out Tre’Quan Smith, a 2018 third-rounder from the Saints who also had stints with the Broncos and Lions. He’s racked up 131 receptions for 1,764 total receiving yards, averaging 13.5 yards per grab, and 18 touchdown receptions in 67 career games with 35 starts. Finally, there’s Equanimeous St. Brown, a 2018 sixth-round pick. He’s seen time with the Packers, Bears, Saints, and 49ers, totaling 63 receptions for 928 total receiving yards at 14.7 yards per reception, scoring 2 touchdowns over 62 career games, starting 28. These guys aren’t rookies, they’ve got game experience.
The Colts also brought in quarterback Mark Gronowski and cornerback Jaylon Guilbeau. Gronowski, a 6’2″, 226-pound signal-caller, was an undrafted rookie who the Dolphins waived earlier this month. He’s got serious college accolades, with two FCS National Championships, two FCS Championship Game MVPs, an FCS First-Team All-American nod, and was a two-time MVFC Offensive Player of the Year at South Dakota St. Last season with the Iowa Hawkeyes, he completed 166 of 262 passes (63.4%) for 1,741 yards, 10 touchdowns, and 7 interceptions in 13 starts. He was even the 2026 Offensive MVP of the East-West Shrine game. Guilbeau, a 5’11”, 190-pound cornerback, was an undrafted rookie from the 2026 NFL Draft picked up by the Panthers, but was waived after being on the reserve/non-football injury list. He had 40 tackles (22 solo), a sack, an interception, and 3 passes defensed in 12 starts for the Texas Longhorns defense. It just goes to show you how many talented guys are looking for a spot in this league at all times.
After a 17-7 loss to the Cowboys, you can bet the 12s are looking for answers. We know our boys can bounce back, but seeing other teams actively scouting veterans just underlines how competitive this league is. The focus now turns to what adjustments our team can make after that kind of performance. We need to see that fire, that grit, next time out. Every game, every week, it matters. We’re bleeding green and blue, and we expect nothing less.
