With mandatory minicamp on the horizon for the Seattle Seahawks, the team has a roster spot open after releasing former Los Angeles Chargers nose tackle Forrest Merrill. NFL insider Ian Rapoport was on the case for this Friday news dump.

As Rapoport mentioned, Merrill was added to the 90-man roster only a few weeks ago. Merrill was on injured reserve back in 2022 and only played a handful of snaps in 2021, so his chances of making the Seahawks roster were not particularly high.
