The 1987 Seattle Seahawks season was the team's 12th season with the National Football League (NFL). After two seasons of missing the postseason, the Seahawks returned to the playoffs.
The 1987 season would be Kenny Easley's last due to a kidney failure caused from excessive ibuprofen use, which forced him into retirement. The Seahawks selected Brian Bosworth from the University of Oklahoma, who signed the biggest rookie contract in NFL history.
