Seahawks Make Their 53-man Opening Roster

The Seahawks had to make their

roster by 1 pm Tuesday afternoon.

They didn't have many surprises.

It doesn't mean a few changes 

could happen before the first

game on September 8.

Names that were waived or let 

go. Top of the list was quarterback 

PJ Walker. He could be on the

practice squad though unless 

another team picked him up.

Safety Marquise Blair who.had

been with the Seahawks but let 

go by the team a few years ago

was let loose as well. See if that

is the end of his career. Former

Washington Huskies tied end

signed as a undrafted free agent

was waived for injury. We see if

he comes back some day.

Wide receiver Dee Eskridge who

has been hurt most of his career

in Seattle was waived too. Jon

Rattigan linebacker was waived.

He could be back with restricted

deal as he was last year. He is

very good on special teams.

Starting right tackle Abraham Lucas

wasn't able to start the season with

an injury so he is on reserve pup so

he will miss st least the first four games.

Also safety Jerrick Reed who played a

lot as a rookie last year and nose tackle

Cameron Young.

The Seahawks will go with Geno Smith

and Sam Howell at qb. Kenneth McIntosh

who didn't play a lot last year as a rookie

will be the third running back. He had a

wonderful preseason as the major runner

as Walker and Carbonett didn't play. They

will have majority of rushing attempts.

The Seahawks will go with four tight ends

including rookie AJ Barner. The offensive

line they are going with eleven. Undrafted

free agent Jalen Sundell made it as the

third center. We could see him at tackle

or guard if necessary. 

On the defensive line the Seahawks go 

with six. Johnathan Hankins a  free

agent signed after playing with the

Cowboys last year is expected to start

in the middle. He is good at stopping the 

run. First round pick Byron Murphy II

will play there to as well as on the outside.

The Seahawks will go with five outside

linebackers/edge rushers. Derrick Hall

second pick in 2023 will start as one of

them. He has shown he can stop the

run as well as rushing the qb. They go

with four inside linebackers, five corner

backs and four safeties. The specialists 

kicker Jason Myers, punter Michael

Dickson and long snapper Chris Stoll

stays the same. Any additional moves

will be made. Go Hawks!
