Seahawks Q&A: Submit Questions, Join Super Joes
The Seattle Seahawks are over one week into training camp and they open their preseason schedule against Dallas Cowboys in 12 days.
There’s very little that’s subtle about the start of training camp, especially when the team is set to be featured on Hard Knocks, but the Seattle Seahawks have quietly started to shape their roster for this season.
Between minor moves that didn’t warrant their own newsletters, like bringing back Nick Vannett last week, to John Schneider’s pro scouting staff keeping an eye on other teams for potential claims on waiver day, the Seahawks are already different than they were in July.
In some unfortunate, and tangentially related news, former Seattle safety Coby Bryant may have suffered an injury with the Bears on Monday morning. He was carted off with a left knee ailment.
That’s not the only serious injury that has happened during training camp. The 49ers lost WR Ricky Pearsall (and signed Deebo Samuel), the Panthers lost EDGE Nic Scourton and WR Chris Brazzell, and the Saints lost DT Bryan Bresee.
It’s a reminder that plans can change before the season even begins.
So far, the Seahawks have only had positive news in training camp, like Sunday’s article about Elijah Arroyo’s strong performances last week. Seasiders can already see the value of the 53-man rosters you created and the 90-man player rankings because it gives you a sort of scorecard to use between now and Week 1.
Players ranked 90th (Ja’Markis Weston), 86th (Tyrone Broden), 80th (Harrison Bryant), and 65th (Kenny McIntosh) have been released or waived. The Seahawks have added WR Kyre Duplessis, LB Joseph Vaughn, CB Brandon Johnson, and Vannett. Rookie DT Deven Eastern, who started on PUP, has returned to practice.
So no the Seahawks have not traded for Myles Garrett (who is not practicing) but they are changing.
Do you have any questions about what has changed, what could change next, or everything in between?
Every week during the season, I send a bonus newsletter to Seaside Joe’s founding member tier “Super Joes” for questions about the Seahawks that I can then use for more newsletters. It’s the only difference between Regular Joes and Super Joes and just my small way of saying thank you.
This week will be different because this Q&A is open to all paid Seaside Joe subscribers. If you have any questions or hot takes about the team that you want to get off your chest, throw it in the comments below.
I’ll try to address everyone’s comments.
If you want to upgrade from free to Regular (get ALL the content every month) or Regular to Super (if you want to support the newsletter a little bit more plus join the weekly Q&As), you can do that by clicking this button:
I don’t think a mailbag counts as a real article, so this is not Monday’s official newsletter. That will be coming soon.
In the meantime, let me know what questions you have—before you change your mind.
