Updated: Time To Look More Closely At How Your Seahawk 90 Man Roster Is Shaking Down

Updated: Time To Look More Closely At How Your Seahawk 90 Man Roster Is Shaking Down

I must tell you first that you first must agree with me on the following 3 facts.

1. 33 of the 91 players are locks to make the 53-man roster Aug 31st (see below for the list of 33). I write 91 because M. Lynch doesn't count towards the 90-man roster at the moment, yet I still consider him a lock.

2. 17 of the 91 are very likely to be practice squad material, released or to IR (see below for the list of 17). Sorry to bust their bubbles so early.

3. Assumes the following per-position-group amounts.

QB – 2 /RB – 5 /Oline – 9 /TE – 3 /WR – 6 /DLINE – 10 /LB – 6 /DB – 9 /ST – 3 = Total 53

Yes, I followed last year’s amounts EXCEPT, well, I added one WR and deducted one D-Linemen.


OK – that leaves 20 spots being competed for amongst 40 players. That means 20 MORE must end up practice squad material, or released (or to IR or PUP list as relevant) by Aug 31st.

What I find most interesting are 3 position group battles on the defense, especially at LB, where the necessary roster-cuts will be most surprising… that is, we may actually see Farwell and Morgan released and picked by other team(s), as well as possibly losing Coyle, who has been reported to be looking good.
