Seahawks Cut Two Players At Start Of The 2025 Offseason

The Seattle Seahawks announced two roster moves early in the offseason.

Seattle missed the 2024 postseason despite going 10-7 in Mike Macdonald's first years as head coach. The organization has posted 12 winning records in the last 13 seasons, but the Seahawks haven't won a playoff game in six years.

On Friday, the Seahawks waived wide receiver Cornell Powell and cornerback Ryan "Bump" Cooper Jr. Each player had signed a reserve/future contract after ending the 2024 season on Seattle's practice squad.

Powell scored 10 touchdowns over five seasons at Clemson before the Kansas City Chiefs elected him with the No. 181 pick of the 2021 NFL Draft. The 6-foot wideout played limited snaps in three games during the 2022 season.

A two-time national champion, Powell also won two Super Bowls as a member of the Chiefs. He spent the entire 2023 campaign on Kansas City's practice squad and started 2024 in the same spot before getting released in November.

Signed by Seattle a week later, Powell didn't see any playing time with the Seahawks.

Cooper registered four interceptions in two seasons at Oregon State before signing with the Baltimore Ravens last summer as an undrafted free agent. He played six snaps on special teams during a Week 8 loss to the Cleveland Browns.

His cousins, Nashon Wright and Rejzohn Wright, are also both NFL cornerbacks.
