Updated Depth Chart for Seahawks Following Roster Cuts

The Seattle Seahawks know what their roster is going to look like (for the most part) in 2026.

The Seahawks and every other team had to cut down to 53 players by Sunday night. There weren’t too many surprises from the Seahawks, and the team should field one of the best teams in the league once again.

Now that we know the roster, let’s go ahead and look at what the depth could look like.

Quarterback: Sam Darnold, Drew Lock, Jalen Milroe
Running Back: Jadarian Price, George Holani, Emanuel Wilson
Fullback: Brady Russell
Wide Receiver: Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Montorie Foster Jr.
Slot Receiver: Cooper Kupp
Wide Receiver: Rashid Shaheed, Tory Horton
Tight End: AJ Barner, Elijah Arroyo, Eric Saubert, Nick Kallerup
Left Tackle: Charles Cross, Josh Jones
Left Guard: Grey Zabel, Christian Haynes, Bryce Cabeldue
Center: Jalen Sundell, Olu Oluwatimi
Right Guard: Anthony Bradford, Beau Stephens
Right Tackle: Abe Lucas, Josh Jones

There are no surprises here. It was a bit of a shock to see 10 linemen get kept, and if the team makes any waiver claims, one of these players could be bumped off.

This offense will be even more deadly when Zach Charbonnet returns.

Defensive End: Leonard Williams, Mike Morris
Nose Tackle: Byron Murphy II, Brandon Pili
Defensive Tackle: Jarran Reed, Rylie Mills
Rush: DeMarcus Lawrence, Derick Hall
WLB: Drake Thomas, Tyrice Knight, Chazz Surratt
MLB: Ernest Jones IV, Patrick O’Connell
OLB: Uchenna Nwosu, Dante Fowler Jr., Connor O’Toole
Cornerback: Devon Witherspoon, Nehemiah Pritchett
Nickel: Nick Emmanwori, Avery Smith
Strong Safety: Julian Love
Free Safety: Ty Okada
Cornerback: Josh Jobe, Julian Neal

The notable name not here that many expected to see is Trevon Diggs. The veteran corner didn’t survive the cut, but it’s still expected that he’ll be brought back soon. It’ll also be interesting to see if Terrion Arnold factors in at all this season.

It’s surprising that the team kept none of the backup safeties. You’d have to imagine at least two players get added here in the next week. Other than that, nothing too surprising.

Kicker: Jason Myers
Punter: Michael Dickson
Long Snapper: Chris Stoll
Kick Returner: Rashid Shaheed, Tory Horton, George Holani
Punt Returner: Rashid Shaheed, Tory Horton

Once again, nothing surprising here. Jason Myers struggled this summer, but he’s proven more than enough to get the benefit of the doubt.
