Seahawks assistant wide receivers coach Brad Idzik is leaving to become receivers coach with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, general manager John Schneider said Thursday during his weekly appearance on Seattle Sports 710AM.
In Tampa, Idzik will join Dave Canales, who was the quarterbacks coach in 2022 and was with the Seahawks since 2010, He was hired to be the offensive coordinator for the Buccaneers.
Schneider revealing that Idzik is leaving would appear to confirm he may be the only other assistant who will join Canales.
Canales and Idzik are the only departures the Seahawks had on their coaching staff this offseason. Coach Pete Carroll said he hoped to keep the staff together as much as possible. Idzik had been with the Seahawks since 2019 in several different roles, also serving as assistant receivers coach in 2019 and quality control-offense/assistant quarterbacks coach in 2020 and 2021 before returning to an assistant receivers role last season.
