The Seattle Seahawks made a couple of roster subtractions on Friday, three weeks out from the start of a new league year and NFL free agency.

Former Kansas City Chiefs draft pick and wide receiver Cornell Powell and defensive back Ryan ‘Bump’ Cooper were waived, according to the NFL transaction wire. Both players were on Seattle’s 2024 practice squad, although neither Powell nor Cooper ever played for the Seahawks and indeed never even got elevated to the active roster for gameday.
