With the preseason now officially in the books, the NFL will now transition into one of the darkest periods on the calendar, as the Seattle Seahawks and all 32 teams will have to trim their rosters from 90 players to 53 before the August 26 deadline.
While it is an unfortunate reality of the business, more than 1,000 players across the league will receive a pink slip in a 72-hour span, while several others who make the initial 53-man rosters will walk on eggshells with more moves to come as teams comb through the waiver wire. In addition, plenty of trades will take place between teams leading up to Tuesday’s 1 PM PT deadline, and as evidenced by the Commanders re-signing receiver Terry McLaurin, contract extensions also will be on the menu in a chaotic couple of days.
Who will the Seahawks choose to keep heading into the 2025 season? And will general manager John Schneider be active on the trade market before dwindling the roster down to 53 players? Come back often as I break down each and every reported transaction and rumor leading up to the cutdown deadline:
