The 1997 Seattle Seahawks season was the team's 22nd season with the National Football League . This season would mark a new era for the Seahawks as they drafted two first round picks (Shawn Springs and Walter Jones ) and traded quarterback Rick Mirer and signed Minnesota Vikings /Houston Oilers quarterback Warren Moon to be John Friesz's backup. Moon and Jones would go on to be selected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2006 and 2014, respectively. They also signed rookie quarterback Jon Kitna . After a Week 1 injury to Friesz, Moon led the Seahawks improvement from 1996's 7–9 record to finish 8–8. This would be Moon's last season making the Pro Bowl in his career, he went on to win Pro Bowl MVP.
This season is notable for being the first under new owner Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen . Allen helped keep the team from relocating and made sure it remained in Seattle.
