Depth Chart, Roster Moves, Cap Position


The team usually makes close to 300 roster moves/season (this year only 246); and the depth chart changes as injuries happen and/or players are added or subtracted as needed. I believe having a depth chart here is a good addition to the main board page so when the team changes players, knowing their player numbers, their names, and positional information is a good thing to be able to quickly refer to here without leaving the site. JS likes to churn the roster a bit to help the competitive situations at various positions. The season is now over and the FAs will be broken out from the roster and identified as Seahawks FAs.

Here is a current depth chart. All the FA players, ERFA, RFA, & UFA have been taken out of the roster even though officially this won't be the case until the official end of the season, and each of the IR players added back to the team. I will record each further transaction in and out as they happen. This depth chart is just my opinion. The plan is to record all forthcoming roster moves and to adjust the DC as the roster changes are made. This gives a more accurate representation of the present depth on the roster going into the offseason.

Please advise here of any changes as they happen. Regardless, I will attempt to keep this depth chart current quickly after all changes, PS designations, waivers, cuts, additions, players claimed, PUP or injury designations, etc.. I will attempt to keep it current throughout the season by indicating what the roster moves were after they happen. This sometimes involves a delay, sometimes life intervenes, and the delay may result in the update being slower to happen. However, I will make every effort to keep this page current. This hopefully will be a complete record.

As well I will update the presently available cap number on a weekly basis, or as quickly as information can be obtained from https://overthecap.com/salary-cap/seattle-seahawks/. The number can be seen at the bottom of the page.

Well, this list makes it easy to see what we need to draft.

DB is dreadful, especially if you figure in that Lane was craptastic last year and Shead, torn up knee. We saw what happened when Kam and Earl were out. We need DB in the worst way.

Our RB stable also needs replenishing even though it has been addressed. The injuries there cannot be ignored.

FORTUNATELY This draft is DEEEEEEEEP in DB and RB. We are armed with 3 3rd round picks as well.

All is not lost.

 

[Seahawkfan80]

Thanks man. I almost had a question...but U/K is unknown status until after the draft when they start looking at things all over their board. Thanks.

 

[jammerhawk]

Neither the team site nor other sites seem to have numbers for the specific player listed with a u/k notation by their number, so they remain u/k until their number is known.

As indicated as far as position location or status as far as depth on the DC more will be known as info becomes available.

 

[Siouxhawk]

Thanks for keeping us up to speed, Jammer :2thumbs:

 

[jammerhawk]

No probs.

This thread works well when members here add the info as it becomes known. Thanks especially to Jville who is a machine at times and almost always first with the scoop.

 

[Hachtung]

Jammerhawk,

According to ESPN, we traded the 244th pick in Round 7 last year. We do however have a 7th Round pick we picked up last year from the Panthers at 226th.

[jammerhawk]

Thanks, correction made.

 

[jammerhawk]

Seahawks to tender OT -Gary Gilliam with original round tender @$1.797 mil. This translates to a RFR tender as Gillam was an undrafted player.

 

[Largent80]

I hate that we lost that 5th rounder in a deep draft. It squanders a depth addition.

It's time for the staff to knock off the shenanigans that are costing us valuable practices and draft picks.

 

[jammerhawk]

It seems as if the enthusiasm of the coaching staff needs to be tempered a bit b/c this is the second penalty for overly enthusiastic OTA physicality.

Last year wasn't the team fined and they lost practices b/c of the over physicality of the OTA practices the year prior?

Pete needs a reminder from John that 5th Rd. draft picks can provide valuable depth that otherwise costs the team big cap money. Oh, and to zip it about injuries.

Didnt Sowell come out and say it's utter bollocks though? Said he'd worked much harder elsewhere and can't believe we are being punished.

 

[jammerhawk]

Yeah I have read what Sowell said. The league seemed to get revved up about it after there were published reports of a fight during one OTA practice.

 

[Jville]

Hey Jammer,

Time to update restricted and unrestricted free agent lists.

[Largent80]

Thanks Jammer for doing this.

Do you think JS will do some wheeling and dealing to get some picks in the 4th or 5th rounds, or will he stay put?

I think that maybe it depends on if they sign Lang. If they do, they may trade out of the first and get ?

 

[jammerhawk]

No problem..

JS usually likes to have as many picks as he can get. I think he has always had 8 or more. I can easily imagine him trading any of the early picks to reposition and to add more picks. He rarely trades up though, but did last year.

If the team can add Lang ( I remain doubtful), anything can happen, and moving up or down to get specific players is also possible.

 

[jammerhawk]

Everything should be updated to note the players ERFA tendered are now added back to the roster. When news of Gilliam signing his RFA tender happens I will add him to the roster.

 

[jammerhawk]

It is being reported that the Hawks have signed RB-Eddie Lacy for a 1 year deal of $5.55 mil w. $3.0 mil guaranteed.

Pete appeared happy with this signing.

 

[toffee]

I am less than overwhelmed or even impressed by the two 1 year deals that we signed. One was a bit of bust, is he really an upgrade to our existing OL??? The over couldn't keep his job against Micheal, yes, our Micheal. Really?

Not sure how these two will fit in but their respective track record is encouraging.

 

[jammerhawk]

The thing is both of us don't really have the clear picture yet of what Pete and John want to create on O this season.

You can hate both signings but both are here on approval at relatively inexpensive, considering the market conditions for Joeckl, deals. When Lacy is in shape and motivated he's a load to bring down and he's not playing for GB this upcoming season. You can be sure he knows he's playing for a big deal this season so for both him and Joeckl both are in a "conract year" position and will need to impress to improve their market value going forward.

I like Lacy (in shape) bettter than Petersen, Charles, and Murray, besides he's the youngest RB of the FA group and a player w/o the injury history of the others. he does need to watch his weight though and reportedly weighed 267 lbs when visiting a team. Pete wants to see him playing at 240. EDIT: I was wrong on Lacy and think he's proven to be big, slow, and soft. Any f the above three would have been better for the team.

Just an observation but with the addition of Lacy the team has now got 9 guys at RB under contract. Clearly there will be cuts made at that position.
