trim their roster down to the opening
roster. On Sunday they put seven players
on waivers. To be honest only two of the
players I even heard of. One was was
former Washington Huskies running
back Wayne Taulapapa. Most likely
these seven won't be on the practice
squad with the Seahawks. They could be
on another team's practice squad though.
There will probably be about twenty other
players waived or released on Monday and
Tuesday. The practice squad is made up
of 16 players. In the past several years
the opening roster had two quarterbacks.
Now the rules have changed where the
third quarterback can be available in case
of injury. I am not sure whether the third
qb is on the practice squad or not like they
used to be or they are on the opening roster
and are exempt. I guess we will find out.
I never really paid attention to players who
we're picked up during training camp while
others were released. I figured for the most
part they wouldn't be making the team at cut
down.
On Wednesday the Seahawks can set the players
who will make the practice squad. It will depend
a lot on who maybe picked up by other teams.
The Seahawks may release a player on Tuesday
and then resign them at a lower price to fit under
the salary cap. They will have several players
who will be added to injured reserve as well. This
means they won't be able to play in several games.
There probably not many positions they won't have
to do this however they will pick up up a couple or
three possibly who were released from other teams.
I could see that happening on the defensive line
and wide receiver. They could so on the offensive
line as well but most likely not. I am sure they know
the nine or ten players they will keep on the offensive
line. If they do pick one up for the offensive line it
will likely be someone who can play tackle and guard.
Go Hawks!
