Chris Paul Jr. was cut by the Seattle Seahawks on August 28, 2026, after failing to secure a spot on the 53-man roster. Initially drafted by the L.A. Rams in the fifth round of the 2025 draft, Paul had been expected to compete for a linebacker position. After spending last season on the Seahawks’ practice squad, he now clears waivers and is set to revert to injured reserve. It is likely he will be released outright, returning to free agency.
