2016 Present Depth Chart, Roster Moves, Current Cap Position

[jammerhawk]

Now the team has reduced to 53 the whole 53, PS, plus the injured reserve, PUP, etc., etc., now counts against the cap so the cap number has just been updated by OTC. I'll revise on the OP to keep up but did so last week after the Lewis cut and it will be in flux a bit until the roster is settled.

I'll try to keep it as current as possible but am unprepared to do the personal calculations after each roster move so I'm relying on the OTC.com site as it is usually reasonably close when current.

Error on position listed for Practice Squad member Marcus Lucas.

Marcus Lucas should be listed as a WR wide receiver on the practice squad.

My mistake.

 

[jammerhawk]

Thanks Jville your post shows us how hard it is to get this right at this time of the year when multiple changes happen quickly, I'll make the change but had heard that and was waiting to see the news posted on a team roster list before changing form the published information. He apparently played WR at Missou, and occasionally TE.

 

[jammerhawk]

Apparently OG - Robert (Snacks) Myers lately of the Ravens did not sign with the team and instead the team signed OT- Takoby Cofield lately of the Redskins PS.

 

[Jville]

Saw the following earlier today ........ "The Seahawks had the following players in for workouts this week: OL Ian Silberman (Boston College), DE Dominique Davis (Liberty), LB/DE Jason Fanaika (Utah) and DE Shelby Harris (Illinois State). The team also got a visit from OL Robert Myers (Tennessee State)." --- Sheil Kapadia

[jammerhawk]

With several of the players named above the team may add them to their 'ghost roster' or we may see them on the PS at some point going forward. That wouldn't surprise me at all.

It is very typical for the PS to be very much in flux at this time of the year and in the past there is often more than 1 change per week with players coming then going and coming back to PS as competitive needs require or the team looks at diamonds in the rough or sifts through the discard pile to find players who may fit the team's various needs from time to time. In fact the frequency of the PS changes can cause the team to effectively have more than 10 players on the PS every week.

Perhaps there some measure of craftiness in JS' PS roster churn. The team seems to find more than a few players each year from the roster culls or the passed over that they have some interest in developing and even keeping.

 

[jammerhawk]

The concerns expressed above about the cap were real and the cap overnight went from $10 mil + to $4.5+ approximately and is now $5.4 mil + all in the span of 3 days. I check the OTC.com calculatation each time I post and wonder just how accurate their calculated estimate is in fact.

 

[Seahawkfan80]

I would say that for issues unknown at this time, we probably will need about 5 mil for the unexpected in our cap. So not too many in the way of changing our roster bonuses and such for this season. Just a supposition on my part.


Jammerhawk and Jville....Thanks so much for the updates as they come in. The other people that have contributed, yes thank you too.... :irishdrinkers:

"#Seahawks have signed CB Tye Smith to their practice squad, release DE Tylor Harris."

Updated

Thanks Jville, this DC is very likely more accurate than the one at .com

Seahawks today waived LB Eric Pinkins off of Injured Reserve with an injury settlement. So he's now a free agent.

Seahawks today also signed WR Antwan Goodley to the practice squad and waived OT Takoby Cofield.

 

[jammerhawk]

Thanks Jville

updated now

 

[jammerhawk]

I looked at the IR group and noticed the information there was out of date and where appropriate now show those reverted to IR now waived and receiving (IS).

The list appears to be up to date, and consistent with the IR group as shown on the .Com site.

If we look at the list of players on the PS the number of WRs on the PS is out of whack and we may soon expect the team to make some tough decisions there as comptitive need arises.

"Ian Rapoport ‏@RapSheet 1h1 hour ago

FA QB Jake Heaps, who spent time with #Seahawks in camp, is signing to the practice squad, source said. Helps with Russell Wilson's ankle."

No word yet on who will slip off practice squad to open up a spot.

 

[jammerhawk]

It will likely be one of the numerous WRs.

I'll wait to post the update until the team announces it.

The optics of this move sure seem to raise a concern about RW's availability to practice.

I don't think it's a concern, per se. I just think they want to limit the wear and tear on him until Sunday.

Heaps can absorb a lot of the work.

 

[jammerhawk]

The team's site is behind or the ransactions reported above have not yet happened with the league.

Goodley is not shown on the PS and the Takoby Cofield is still shown on the PS.

We are probably just ahead of the team's site but we've been mislead by twiiter reports a few times this year.

Unrecorded transactions will be the addition of QB- Jake Heaps and DE- Tylor Harris to the PS along with the corresponding players to be waived therefrom.

The PS roster churn continues at it's normal active pace, keeping track is almost a busy activity.

According to Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times, the Seahawks will sign former Raiders cornerback Neiko Thorpe to their 53-man roster. Thorpe -- 6-1, 200 pounds -- went undrafted out of Auburn in 2012 and was signed by Kansas City Chiefs for a single season.

Wonder who is getting released - Simon?

Thorpe played well in that preseason Hawks v Raiders game.
