Yeah, it’s really been that long since there was an NFC dynasty.There are plenty of intriguing roster battles on both sides of the ball, but especially on defense, where the bulk of the Seahawks’ offseason changes occurred. Before camp officially begins, I’m giving it another crack at projecting the initial 53-man roster. Offense (26)Quarterback (3): Sam Darnold, Drew Lock, Jalen MilroeCut: N/ANotes: Milroe might be competing not to get traded, otherwise it should be the same set-up as last year as long as Milroe doesn’t have a disastrous camp and/or preseason.Running Back (3): Jadarian Price (R), Emanuel Wilson, George HolaniCut: Jacardia Wright, Kenny McIntoshPUP: Zach CharbonnetNotes: Charbonnet is confirmed to be on PUP, while McIntosh is starting camp on PUP. I anticipate the latter being available to practice soon. Jadarian Price, Emanuel Wilson, and George Holani will surely be the top three backs, and it’s up to a numbers game to see if Wright or McIntosh earns a fourth spot while Charbonnet is gone. Most likely, they stick with three and shift one of Wright or Kenny to the practice squad.Fullback (2): Robbie Ouzts, Brady RussellCut: N/ANotes: Seattle is definitely going to be using full backs, and I hope under Brian Fleury that Ouzts can be something other than a tell that the Seahawks are running the ball. Ouzts had some tight end skills in college, so use it to your advantage! Russell is a “fullback/tight end” hybrid but really he’s there as a special teams beast.Wide Receiver (5): Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Cooper Kupp, Rashid Shaheed, Tory Horton, Jake BoboCut: Emmanuel Henderson Jr (R), Cody White, Ricky White III, Velus Jones Jr, Irv Charles, Rashad Rochelle,Montorie FosterNotes: Either Seattle keeps five receivers or six, in which case I’m curious to see if Ricky White III can make good on his second season with the team. Seattle re-signing Shaheed and Bobo in the offseason essentially took away the drama as far as the wide receiver room.Tight End (3): A.J. Barner, Elijah Arroyo, Eric SaubertCut: Lance Mason(R), Nick KallerupNotes: I have a feeling Kallerup is on the bubble, or at least competing with the rookie Lance Mason. Seattle keeping Kallerup on the active roster all of last season is encouraging but doesn’t mean his spot is now guaranteed for 2026. It may make sense to keep four TEs when the team runs so much 12 and 13 personnel, but I’d sooner believe the Seahawks would just make use of Ouzts or Russell when they want to go heavier and stash Kallerup and/or Mason on the practice sq
