The Seattle Seahawks have waived guard Christian Haynes following the trade that brought eight-time Pro Bowl guard Quenton Nelson from the Indianapolis Colts on October 27, 2026. This roster move is designed to enhance the team's offensive line, which has struggled with pass and run blocking this season.
