2022 Seahawks Depth Chart and Roster Moves

[jammerhawk]

2022 Depth Chart, Roster Moves, Cap Position


The team usually makes close to 300 roster moves/season (last year 329); 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.

Here below is a current depth chart. I will record each transaction in and out as they happen. This depth chart is just my opinion, feel free to comment or suggest changes. Comments here are welcomed, this thread is supposed to be informative but also to encourage roster discussion. The plan is to record all forthcoming roster moves and to adjust the DC as the roster changes are made.

Please advise here of any changes as they happen. The usual dependable members always assist but everyone should feel completely free to report changes to the roster here when they happen. Be careful as sometimes the media gets the story wrong, or the source proves unreliable. All assistance is greatly appreciated and allows us to have an accurate and up to date DC here. 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 also 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.

I will also 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/. Their number can also be seen at the bottom of this page.

Here is the roster from Seahawks.com: http://www.seahawks.com/team/roster

[Ad Hawk]

The labour of love continues!

Thank you so much, Jammer (Jville and others) for your dedication to this work.

 

[jammerhawk]

No problem my friend!

We are mostly all here dedicated fans of the team. This thread is truly a team effort.

The others besides the ever reliable Jville, Kitsap Guy, and Hawkstorian. But everyone is welcome and encouraged to post as they observe roster changes being made. Don’t be shy, we even try to answer questions to the best of our abilities, and my partners here are pretty football and cap smart folks. There were several very useful contributions by other members of the board as well, the party is more fun with more participants.

 

[sdog1981]

The official beginning of the .Net off season lol.

This is always some impressive work.

 

[jammerhawk]

Interestingly the number of hits on the thread was only 27,000 plus this last season while the previous year it was 40,000 plus and there were more roster moves due to COVID reserve placements/ reinstatements this last year.

I guess the losing season dimmed thread interest a good bit.

 

[JayhawkMike]

Always my favorite threads. I also keep my opinions OFF of this one. Pure news is the best news.

 

[jammerhawk]

No problem JayHawk, we all know you are a hardcore fan of the team regardless of our differing views from time to time.

I agree pure news is best here.

 

[oldhawkfan]

This is my go to the rad for any real news regarding the Seahawks. If something happens transaction wise I know I’ll find it here. Thanks for the due diligence in keeping this up to date. Cheers to the beginning of the 2022 season happenings!

 

[jammerhawk]

Seahawks sign RB- Darwin Thompson to a futures contract.

https://www.seahawks.com/news/seahawks- ... e-contract

Thompson's profile will follow:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darwin_Thompson

Updated

 

[Hawkstorian]

With 2 years of service, Thompson's 2022 is salary is most likely the minimum of $895,000. This would reduce our available cap by $190,000 as it would replace one of our 1st year minimum salaries ($705,000) in the top 51 contracts.

For those interested, the minimum salaries for 2022 are as follows:

0 Vested Yr- $705,000
1 Vested Yr - $825,000
2 Vested Yr - $895,000
3 Vested Yr - $965,000
4 - 6 Vested Yrs - $1,035,000
7 + Vested Yrs - $1,120,000

 

[Hawkstorian]

Josh Jones, Ryan Izzo and Edmund Robinson (along with Adrian Peterson) are technically street free agents right now, as they ended the season on the practice squad and haven't been re-signed. The only real difference between a SFA and a UFA is they could sign anywhere right now. UFAs can't sign with another team until the start of official free agency.

 

[jammerhawk]

Thanks John, wondered about that after the season ended and finally moved them to the UFA category. I'll fix that.

I think Ryan Izzo was picked up by the Titans from the PS just before the end of the season. He is on that team now.

I'll move Josh Jones and Edmond Robinson to the right category.

Updated.

 

[Hawkstorian]

Yeah --- after I posted that I double checked and saw that Izzo went to Tennesee, so you're correct he's off our books.

 

[jammerhawk]

No worries, it’s not like Izzy did much here except get COVID. He was another high potential player that didn’t demonstrate that potential while here.

 

[Appyhawk]

I think the depth chart/roster move forum is going to be an extra busy place this year Jammer!

 

[jammerhawk]

Perhaps my friend, perhaps. The QB situation to my thinking is far from being sorted out yet. There will for sure be many interesting changes that will upset some and encourage a view that the FO is trying to move in a fresh direction.

OTOH though the team has been fairly constant at about + or - close to 300 roster moves a year; so while that involves lots of roster change action at key points of the season and offseason it's pretty consistently close to 300 historically and has been so for quite a few seasons now.

 

[Flyingsquad23]

Is the available cap number above based on the 2022 number of 208.2 million?

 

[jammerhawk]

Yes basically, but it is more complicated than that as carry forward in the amount approved by the individual team is factored along with the various intangibles of bonuses likely to be earned, those earned though unlikely, and other cap esoterica.

The team has a very large amount of available cap for FA this season and has normally been users of their available cap instead of hoarders like the Bengals used to be.and some other teams are presently.

The FO is up to either being FA players or they are preparing to make another major offseason move.
