Notable cuts
- Seattle cutting Jacob Eason, a former University of Washington star quarterback, means the team will have just two quarterbacks on its 53-man roster.
- The Seahawks traded safety Ugo Amadi on Aug. 15 to acquire J.J. Arcega-Whiteside, a receiver that was drafted ahead of DK Metcalf, Terry McLaurin and Diontae Johnson in the 2019 NFL Draft. Two weeks after the deal, the Seahawks cut the struggling fourth-year wideout. Arcega-Whiteside's best season to date has been his rookie season when he finished with 10 catches and 169 receiving yards.
- Freddie Swain, who functioned as the No. 3 receiver for last year's team, was cut after two seasons in Seattle. He totaled 38 catches for 502 receiving yards during his tenure.
- Aaron Fuller, who caught passes for Eason while playing at the University of Washington, was not able to carve out a role in the Seahawks' receiving core.
- Bo Melton, a seventh-round draft pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, was also unable to find a spot among the six receivers on the roster.
