Keep: Damien Lewis, Austin Blythe, Gabe Jackson, Dakoda Shepley, Kyle Fuller and Phil Haynes This is not to say that any of these won’t ever amount to anything in the NFL, but there are reasons why Melton and Young were available as late in the draft as they were in spite of their speed and athleticism. Of all receivers across the entire NFL who had at least ten targets during the preseason, here’s a preview of the bottom five in drop rate on catchable targets.

So, is it a risk to expose them to the waiver wire? Sure, but it’s likely a risk the team can take given their performances during the preseason. Further, of those six receivers who were claimed by other teams, exactly zero of them were rookies. In either case, it would be somewhat of a surprise if he is not with the team in some capacity this season given his ability to stretch the field and provide injury protection for Eskridge.Īs for the outcry that is about to come regarding Melton and Young, the simple fact of the matter is that of the hundreds of receivers waived at final roster cuts in 20 just six were claimed by other teams. Goodwin, in particular, is not subject to waivers, meaning there’s a very real chance he sees his contract terminated Tuesday, only to either come back to the team after 4:00 Wednesday or joins the practice squad. There are, obviously, a ton of highly debatable decisions when it comes to this position group, but it likely comes down to the fact that the team can probably squeeze most of these players through waivers. Arcega-WhitesideĬut: Freddie Swain, Aaron Fuller, Marquise Goodwin, Penny Hart, Cade Johnson, Kevin Kassis, Bo Melton and Dareke Young Keep: Tyler Lockett, DK Metcalf, Dee Eskridge and J.J. Four receptions for 43 yards during the three preseason games may not seem like a huge amount of production, but that is almost as much as he did on the field during his first two years in the league combined, as he has seven catches for 49 yards since being selected in the fourth round of the 2020 NFL Draft. Parkinson received a lot of praise during the preseason for his development as a player since the end of last year, and that showed through in his preseason performance. Keep: Will Dissly, Noah Fant and Colby Parkinsonĭissly and Fant are no brainers, given their contracts, and it’s the third spot behind them that is up for grabs. Specifically, Penny Hart lined up in the backfield for a snap against the Dallas Cowboys Friday and it would not be a surprise to see the team save a roster spot by turning to someone like Hart in an emergency. However, it seems more likely that the team would turn to one of its other, versatile players in order to get through any period of time when Walker is unavailable. With the uncertainty surrounding Walker’s recovery from hernia surgery, it’s certainly possible the Hawks could look to keep an extra running back to start the year. Keep: Rashaad Penny, Ken Walker, DeeJay Dallas and Travis HomerĬut: Josh Johnson, Darwin Thompson and Ronnie Rivers If that proves to be the case, there’s no real reason to worry about losing Eason to the waiver wire, since based on what we saw during training camp and the preseason, he doesn’t seem to be a real factor in the discussion at quarterback in any case. There is certainly no shortage of observers and fans across the league who expect the Hawks to make a move on adding at the quarterback position, whether that is for Jimmy Garoppolo when the San Francisco 49ers finally get around to moving on from him or someone else. In any case, here are the projections for the Seahawks offense. That means there won’t be a whole lot of time for fans to digest the wave of roster moves that are coming, and that this will be one of the busiest weeks for news across the league since the draft.

With that in mind, teams across the NFL must trim their rosters down to 53 players prior to 4 PM New York Time on Tuesday, and then may sign players who clear waivers to the practice squad on Wednesday. The preseason is over and just fifteen days remain until the Seattle Seahawks host the Denver Broncos on Monday Night Football to open the 2022 season.
