Could be a very nice pickup.© 2023 NFL Enterprises LLC. Pretty excited to dig into tape on Burley, but so far all reports are that he had a very strong preseason. Instead of choosing between Akeem Auguste and Phillip Adams for the fifth cornerback spot, the Seahawks cut both and traded for Marcus Burley. He's got a shot to be a big contributor on special teams and in goalline packages, a la Heath Farwell. Linebackers (5)īrock Coyle makes the roster as an undrafted free agent - pretty cool. Bruce Irvin is apparently close to returning. Hopefully Cassius Marsh's hip injury isn't serious. Schofield is the big wild card and could really surprise a lot of people this year. Otherwise, this is an exciting group of athletes. Hopefully Toomer and Mayowa can clear waivers. Staten and Pulu were on my list as potential practice squadders. Smith hurt his bicep on Friday so he will head to the IR. Stephen Schilling's versatility as a center likely earned him a spot over Caylin Hauptmann. The Hawks roll with nine on their offensive line, and they go with the youth in Garry Gilliam over the veteranosity in Eric Winston. That said - I wouldn't be surprised to see the Seahawks trawl the waiver wire for another tight end. Current Players 15 Doug Baldwin 16 Chris Carter 84 Kris Durham 2 Ricardo Lockette 87 Benjamin Obomanu 18 Sidney Rice 3 Brandon Smith 14 Isaiah Stanback. Good news for a guy that's battled the last couple of seasons to stay on this team. Tight Ends (3)Įvidently Helfet is healthy enough for the roster. Hold on - the departure of Walters likely means we'll see Earl Thomas returning punts. The departure of Walters likely means we'll see Earl Thomas returning pu. In this case, Phil Bates edged out Bryan Walters for the final spot, and Ricardo Lockette's ability as a gunner is likely why he was deemed valuable here. The Seahawks ended up keeping seven receivers, just not the receivers I would have guessed. On the other hand, Bronson looked good - so he's a guy they could potentially develop. That said, he probably didn't show enough to get claimed elsewhere either. Ware was a favorite of mine coming out of college but he just didn't show enough this preseason to hang on to. I'm guessing that both Ware and Bronson are practice squad candidates if they pass through waivers, as is Kiero Small. Somewhat surprising that the team decides to go with four here but it makes sense with how the receiver corps has been competing. If he can get to the practice squad again this year, that would probably be ideal. Daniels got very limited snaps in the practice and games this preseason behind T-Jack and Pryor, so hopefully that will mean teams won't notice him too much. Here's to hoping he doesn't end up in the NFC West and somehow become really crazy good. It would've been nice if the Seahawks could've traded Terrelle Pryor but his inconsistent play during the preseason apparently scared any potential suitors off. Without further ado, here it is: Quarterbacks (2) It's also a little bit surprising that the team kept seven receivers and four running backs. The "upsets," if you want to call them that, could be that the Stephen Schilling edged out Caylin Hauptmann at the guard position, that Garry Gilliam beat Eric Winston out at tackle, and Phil Bates beat out special teams ace Bryan Walters for the roster at receiver. This roster, as per usual, will be fluid for the next couple days as teams pick up waiver wire players and veteran free agents. The Seahawks have released their final (initial, really) 53-man roster for the beginning of the 2014 NFL season.
