Seahawks give Justin Outten a promotion

Fresh off a resounding victory over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX, the Seattle Seahawks are continuing to build out the coaching staff that will look to defend the title of World Champion in 2026.

To that end, according to a report from NFL insider Jeremy Fowler of ESPN Thursday morning, the Seahawks have tabbed Justin Outten for a promotion.

Outten joined the Seahawks staff in 2025 as the run game specialist and assistant offensive line coach, and the Las Vegas Raiders had requested to interview Outten for an opening on their staff after hiring Klint Kubiak as head coach. However, as the move would have been a lateral, Seattle block Outten from interviewing, and are now set to retain his services to replace Rick Dennison, who has reportedly accepted a role with Kubiak and the Raiders.

This comes after Outten interviewed for, but lost out on, a promotion to offensive coordinator for the Seahawks, and if the sole title he will hold is run game coordinator it would create an opening at assistant offensive line coach. The logical way to fill that role would be a promotion for Quinshom Odom, but whatever the team does to fill out the remaining spots on the staff, Field Gulls will work to ensure readers remain up to date on all the Seahawks related news.
