Updated: Here’s the 2023 Seattle Seahawks 53-man roster

Tuesday was the deadline for all NFL teams to cut their rosters down from 90 to 53 players ahead of the start of the 2023 regular season. The Seattle Seahawks have made their difficult decisions and trimmed their roster, and there are not too many surprises at first glance. UDFA rookie sensation Jake Bobo has done more than enough to play his way onto the roster, but only he and long snapper Chris Stoll are the only UDFAs to crack the 53. Oh yeah, and I guess DeeJay Dallas is fine!

Of note, three players were waived with injury designations, including safeties Joey Blount and Jonathan Sutherland. Here’s the initial roster:

And there you have it! Joey Hunt and Ben Burr-Kirven are vested veterans so they can be signed right away by any team, so look out for both of them as potential practice squad signings.

Next up is forming the 16-man practice squad, which teams can start doing on Wednesday. Keep in mind that this initial roster could change as soon as tomorrow, especially if players like Dareke Young and Mike Morris face time on short-term injured reserve.
