I see them keeping four tight ends, including Tyler Mabry, who fans have no awareness of, but the team likes quite a bit. The minimum return time for IR players is now three weeks unlike pre-Covid rules. It also does not make a ton of sense to put him on IR unless they expect him to miss at least three weeks. Parkinson was injured during camp, so that’s not an option. The team must keep him on the roster as PUP is only open to players who started training camp on the PUP list. Colby Parkinson’s injury situation likely means he will not be ready for the first week or two of the regular season. Seattle can easily put Cody Thompson or Aaron Fuller on the practice squad without taking up a valuable 53-man roster spot. I don’t believe any of the other players have earned a spot on the roster or are in danger of being snagged by another team. There is a chance Hart could be replaced with a player from another roster they like, but most likely he sticks as the fifth receiver. Metcalf, Tyler Lockett, Dee Eskridge, Freddie Swain and Penny Hart. All Seahawks fans should be cheering for a trade of one of their backs, and care less about which one. The other factor here is Josh Johnson also is a good back and could easily land on the practice squad. Given that, if another team was intrigued by his flashy preseason, Seattle should consider all offers. Travis Homer still probably is above him on the third down back depth chart purely due to pass blocking. Dallas is young and promising, but has struggled a ton in pass protection and likely has no role on this team except special teams. I believe he still could be a valuable part of this offense.Ĭollins certainly looks like the better fit at RB2 for now, but if someone offered a good trade for him, I think Seattle takes it. I don’t see them cutting a guy who would cost them $2M in dead cap to cut. Fans are clamoring for Penny to be dealt or cut. They do not need five running backs, but I see them keeping all five if they do not find a trade partner. I expect the team to try and trade one of Rashaad Penny, Alex Collins or DeeJay Dallas. I am mostly in line with their normal numbers. Are Marquise Blair and Ugo Amadi cornerbacks or safeties? Are Darrell Taylor and Alton Robinson defensive linemen or linebackers? The answers definitely skew the results one way or another. The final column is the difference between my projection this year and what the team kept last year.Īs you will see in a few moments, one of the toughest parts of projecting the roster this year was just classifying which position group a player belongs in. The third column is how many I am projecting the team to keep at each position this year. The second column should be self-explanatory. There tend to be changes in the days that follow and before the first game. Keep in mind, this is the number they had when the roster was officially announced. The 2020 column is how many the team kept at each position. This has proved useful in keeping my fan biases in check, where I fall in love with a receiver or linemen that simply will not be kept due to the numbers the team needs at the position. I have tracked the numbers the Seahawks have kept at each position group since Pete Carroll and John Schneider arrived in 2010. Seattle tends to have their cuts leak out largely after the deadline and it can be as long as 3-5 hours before their PR department announces the official roster. NFL teams must submit their cuts to the league office by 1PM Pacific Time on August 31st. The Seahawks have what may be a handful of situations like that this year, leading to what could be some lifted eyebrows come cut down day tomorrow. This is especially likely when a young player or two rise during preseason and push a good-but-not-great veteran off the team.

There are times teams are so stacked overall or at a specific position that players who could get real snaps for another team are on the chopping block.

These are people at the back end of the roster, who are hoping to get special teams snaps at best. The truth is, all the players up for discussion generally have little chance of impacting the team’s fortunes. Hardcore NFL fans love to geek out about who makes the final 53-man roster of their favorite football team.
