Seahawks sign 11 players to future contracts

With the Seahawks’ season coming to an end over the weekend, the team’s practice squad was soon to be dissolved. That gave Seattle the opportunity to first sign those players to future deals, which will come into effect when the new season begins.

Of the 16 players who ended the season on the Seahawks’ practice squad, 11 were signed to future contracts on Monday. According to the league’s transaction wire, those players were:

OT Tommy Champion

QB Danny Etling

WR Aaron Fuller

WR Penny Hart

DB Gavin Heslop

DT Cedrick Lattimore

C Brad Lundblade

TE Tyler Mabry

QB Alex McGough

DB Jordan Miller

WR Cody Thompson

The large majority of those signed have been with the team for most of the year, with the exception of Lundblade, McGough, and Miller, who were all added in recent weeks.

The most noteworthy name not included is wide receiver John Ursua, who was expected by many to breakout in 2020. Instead, the second-year pro failed to even match his rookie season contributions.

Expect Seattle to sign more players to future deals in the coming days and weeks, as they begin work on the 2021 team.
