A Look At Seahawks Initial Opening Season Roster

The Seattle Seahawks could have changes the
season starts on September 13 against the Atlanta
Falcons but here is the roster right now.

At Quarterback; Russell Wilson and Geno Smith.
Former WSU quarterback Anthony Gordon will 
likely be on the practice squad. 

Running backs: Chris Carson, Carlo Hyde, Travis
Homer and rookie DeeJay Dallas. Rashaad Penny
will start the season on the injured list.

Wide Receivers: Tyler Lockett, DK Metcalf, Phillip
Dorsett all three expected, David Moore, rookie
Freddie Swain and 2nd yr John Ursua There was
talk around Moore maybe released than brought
back at a lower salary. Josh Gordon the Seahawks
just signed is still on suspension list. Might be
activated before the first game or have to wait 
for a few weeks as well.

Tight End: It looks like the Seahawks are going to
begin the season with four tight ends. Greg Olsen,
Will Dissly, Jacob Hollister and Luke Willson. 

Offensive Line: left tackle Duane Brown, left guard
Mike Iupati, center/guard Ethan Pocic, right guard
Damien Lewis rookie out of LSU, right tackle Brandon
Shell. The following are the backups in BJ Finney
the Seahawks signed as a free agent during the off-season,
Phil Haynes, Jordan Simmons, Jamarco Jones and 
Cedric Ogbuehi.

Defensive Line: last year's number one pick LJ Collier,
Rasheem Green, free agent signee Benson Mayowa,
Damontre Moore, Albert Robinson, Poona Ford, Bryan
Mone, and Jarran Reed. 

Linebackers: Bobby Wagner, KJ Wright, Bruce Irvin,
Cody Barton, 1st round pick Jordyn Brooks, and former
Husky Ben Burr-Kirven. Shaquem  Griffin rookie last
year didn't make the roster. He passes through waivers 
he will likely be on the practice squad. I am sure it was
a tough decision to drop Griffin.

Cornerback: Shaquill Griffin, Tre Flowers, Quinton Dunbar
acquired from Washington who had trouble off the field 
during the off-season, Neiko Thorpe, and Linden Stephens.

Safety: no surprise Jamal Adams, Quandre Diggs picked up 
during last season, 2nd year Marquise Blair expected to play
some nickel, Ugo Amadi might play nickel to and Lano Hill. 

Specialists: as expected punter Michael Dickson his third 
season, placer kicker Jason Myers, and long snapper Tyler
Ott. 

This is what the roster looks like right now. Go Hawks.
