Since arriving in the Pacific Northwest in 2010, Pete Carroll and John Schneider have become known for their willingness to churn the roster of the Seattle Seahawks in order to evaluate an extremely large number of players. They traditionally do this both during the offseason and into training camp, though the pandemic prevented much of this taking place during the most unique offseason in recent memory. However, with just five days until roster cuts are due on Saturday, September 5 by 4 pm New York Time, they appear to have hit their groove.
Saturday the Seahawks waived undrafted rookie defensive end Eli Mencer in order to make room for receiver Paul Richardson, and then on Sunday the team brought back Pita Taumeopenu while placing defensive lineman Branden Jackson on injured reserve.
