The Seattle Seahawks finalized their initial 53-man roster on Sunday following the conclusion of the preseason. Despite establishing the core team, general manager John Schneider may continue to adjust the lineup through the league waiver process. As the reigning Super Bowl LX champions, the Seahawks hold the 32nd position in the waiver wire order, which complicates their ability to claim targeted players. Management is currently evaluating depth at running back, safety, and cornerback to address potential gaps in the roster. With Zach Charbonnet on the PUP list and several personnel changes involving players like Trevon Diggs and Terrion Arnold, the team remains active in its search for upgrades. Future roster moves depend on whether other teams submit claims for players the Seahawks identify as priority targets.
