Good morning, 12s. Here's a look at what's happening today – Wednesday, May 12 – for your Seattle Seahawks.

Russell Wilson, Ciara Sign Deal With Amazon

Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson and his wife Ciara have always sought new challenges. They founded the Why Not You Foundation in 2014 with the mission to fight poverty through education and empower youths to lead. In 2016, the Good Man Brand was formed with the Wilsons leading the charge. They even became part of the Seattle Sounders' ownership group in 2019. Now, it's time for their next adventure.

Wilson and Ciara officially signed a television and film deal with Amazon early this week. The couple will develop and produce scripted series and films with Amazon Studios through Why Not You Productions, which they launched in 2019.

"We're so excited and honored to work with Amazon Studios," Wilson and Ciara said in a statement. "They've quickly become one of the most exciting studios in entertainment and have shown a strong belief in our vision to bring inspiring stories to the world. We can't wait to begin our work together."

"Russell and Ciara are a true powerhouse producing duo -- both with extraordinary success in their respective careers on the field and the stage, their business ventures, and shared dedication to philanthropy," said Jennifer Salke, head of Amazon Studios. "We share a passion for developing diverse and emotionally connecting stories that can inspire the world and spread positivity and hope. Our world certainly needs it."

Seahawks' 2021 Schedule To Be Released Tonight

With free agency and the draft in the rearview, the next event of the NFL offseason is the 2021 schedule release. We already know who the Seahawks will face, but the game order and times will be released tonight at 5 p.m. PT. on NFL Network. Seahawks.com reporter John Boyle has more here about the schedule release.

Last season, Seahawks players and coaches surprised 12 community heroes with video calls during the pandemic. Each of the heroes were promised two season tickets for the following season, a promise that will be honored in 2021 as fans return to Lumen Field.

The slate of Week 1 games was announced early on Wednesday morning, as the Seahawks will visit the Indianapolis Colts at 10 a.m. on Sept. 12. Here's a look at the rest of the teams Seattle will face this year for the first 17-game regular season in league history:

Home opponents: Arizona Cardinals, Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions, Jacksonville Jaguars, Los Angeles Rams, New Orleans Saints, San Francisco 49ers, Tennessee Titans

Road opponents: Arizona Cardinals, Green Bay Packers, Houston Texans, Indianapolis Colts, Los Angeles Rams, Minnesota Vikings, Pittsburgh Steelers, San Francisco 49ers, Washington Football Team
