The NFL set the 2022-23 schedule release for Thursday evening, but just like every year, fans looked for leaks online to learn the dates before they were officially announced. This included the Seattle Seahawks, who decided to have some fun at the expense of their players.
Tight end Will Dissly started telling them he had gotten a sneak peek at the schedule in Maurice “Mo” Kelly’s office. Hilarity ensued. There was a schedule, but it was a fake one that was less than ideal. Quandre Diggs took a photo of the printed schedule he saw on the desk, and then proceeded to point out what he didn’t like.
“I can’t escape bruh,” Diggs said. “I can’t escape Detroit Thanksgiving.”
Diggs made it clear he played on Thanksgiving for eight straight years before arriving to Seattle. What made it worse was Dissly pointing out he would not get Christmas off because the Seahawks would be in Arizona that day. Diggs called his girlfriend, who was also not a big fan of the schedule.
“Hey, don’t blame me. I just work here, alright?” Diggs told her on the phone.
As far as the real schedule goes, the team’s new era will begin with a familiar face on the opposing sideline. Former Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson will make his much-anticipated return to Seattle on Sept. 12 since his stunning March trade to the Denver Broncos.

Wilson’s return to the Emerald City marks the first time in franchise history the Seahawks have opened a season on Monday Night Football.
The Seahawks will play nine games against 2021 playoff teams, including home games against the Super Bowl LVI champion Los Angeles Rams, Arizona Cardinals, San Francisco 49ers and the Las Vegas Raiders.
