The Seahawks have trimmed down their roster, but who made the cut?
It's official, NFL cut-down day is over, and the Seattle Seahawks have their initial 53-man roster locked and loaded.
We know that this is a yuck time of the year as several players see their NFL dreams end, while others see them continue.
Now, for those who were cut, it might not be the end of the road, as is the case with Trevon Diggs, whom general manager John Schneider stated the team would try to get back on the practice squad should he not get picked up by another team.
But who made Mike Macdonald's roster?
Here is the initial 53-man roster for the Seahawks per 12th Man Rising.com.
QB: Sam Darnold, Drew Lock, Jalen Milroe
RB: George Holani, Jadarian Price, Emanuel Wilson, Brady Russell
WR: Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Cooper Kupp, Rashid Shaheed, Tory Horton, Montorie Foster Jr.
TE: AJ Barner, Elijah Arroyo, Eric Saubert, Nick Kallerup
OL: Charles Cross, Grey Zabel, Jalen Sundell, Anthony Bradford, Abraham Lucas, Beau Stephens, Christian Haynes, Bryce Cabeldue, Olu Oluwatimi, Derrick Graham
DL: Leonard Williams, Byron Murphy II, Jarran Reed, Rylie Milles, Mike Morris, Brandon Pili
OLB/Edge: DeMarcus Lawrence, Derick Hall, Dante Fowler Jr., Uchenna Nwosu, Connor O'Toole
CB: Devon Witherspoon, Josh Jobe, Julian Neal, Nehemiah Pritchett, Avery Smith
LB: Ernest Jones IV, Drake Thomas, Tyrice Knight, Patrick O'Connell, Chazz Surratt
S: Julian Love, Nick Emmanwori, Ty Okada
ST: Jason Myers (K), Michael Dickson (P), Chris Stoll (LS)
Injured reserve: Jake Bobo, Bud Clark, Robbie Ouzts, Mason Richman, Irvin Charles (designated for return)
PUP: Zach Charbonnet
So that is about as expected.
The Seahawks, maybe a little surprisingly, kept three quarterbacks, and Montorie Foster Jr. was rewarded for his superb offseason with a roster spot.
Running back Emanuel Wilson survived while Jacardia Wright was cut, and keeping four tight ends is also another surprise for the Seahawks.
Still, this isn't final as there is expected to be more moving and shaking over the coming days as the front office gets a lay of the land on who else was cut from around the league.
But the initial big cut is done.
Now for the Seahawks to try and get better within the margins as they look to go back-to-back in 2026.
