A look at the Seahawks 53-man roster
Published 6:14 pm Saturday, September 3, 2011
So here’s what the Seahawks roster looks like as of now. Will it look this way when the season opener rolls around a week from tomorrow? Almost certainly not. The Seahawks are no-doubt combing through the waiver wire now and considering a number of players who were just let go by other teams.
It’s worth noting that of the players who made it, three are undrafted rookies: QB Josh Portis, WR Doug Baldwin and S Jeron Johnson. None are huge surprises given how well they played in the preseason, but it’s always a tough battle for those guys, and especially this year given how little time they had with no OTAs and minicamps.
