Overview

  • Schneider’s four-year contract covers the 2025-26 through 2029-30 seasons and could mark his 20th year as GM if he completes it, with owner Jody Allen noting its effect into 2031.
  • He has overseen a Super Bowl win and guided Seattle to 10 playoff berths and two Super Bowl appearances since his 2010 hiring.
  • After Pete Carroll’s shift to an advisory role, Schneider assumed full control of football operations in 2023 and hired Mike Macdonald as head coach.
  • The extension follows Schneider’s offseason roster overhaul that included trading Geno Smith and D.K. Metcalf and signing Sam Darnold and Cooper Kupp.
  • His near-20-year tenure positions him behind only Saints GM Mickey Loomis and Bengals president-GM Mike Brown among active NFL executives.
