Seahawks Players Fire Back After Jared Verse’s Viral Message to Rams

Jared Verse may no longer be part of the NFC West, but his recent comments about the Seattle Seahawks have not gone unnoticed.

Several Seahawks defenders, including Nick Emmanwori, Leonard Williams, and Jarran Reed, reacted on Instagram after Adam Schefter shared a quote from Verse directed at his former teammates with the Los Angeles Rams. According to Schefter’s post, Verse’s farewell message was simple: make sure the Rams beat the Seahawks.

Emmanwori delivered the sharpest response, commenting that Seattle had clearly left a lasting impression on Verse. Williams and Reed joined in with laughing emojis, turning the remark into a lighthearted jab at their division rival.

A Rivalry That Still Resonates

What made the exchange stand out was that Verse’s comment was specifically aimed at Seattle rather than a generic rival. The Seahawks played a major role in shaping the Rams’ season and handed Los Angeles one of its most memorable defeats, adding another chapter to the rivalry ahead of their scheduled meetings in 2026.

Verse made the remark after being traded from the Rams to the Cleveland Browns as part of the blockbuster deal involving Myles Garrett. Speaking with Browns broadcaster Nathan Zegura, Verse said his final message to Los Angeles centered on one priority: beating Seattle.

The quote quickly gained traction across NFL social media, with Schefter’s post generating tens of thousands of reactions. Seahawks players wasted little time joining the conversation.

Seahawks Embrace the Moment

Emmanwori’s response suggested that Seattle views Verse’s comment as proof the rivalry still weighs heavily on the minds of former Rams players. Meanwhile, Williams and Reed chose humor over hostility, using emojis to poke fun at the situation.

For Seahawks fans, the interaction offered the kind of rivalry banter that fuels excitement during the offseason—current players responding directly to a former Rams standout who still appears to have Seattle at the top of his list of concerns.
