Saturday the Seattle Seahawks, along with the other 31 NFL teams, trimmed their roster down to 53 players from the 90 they had been carrying during the offseason. Many of the names that had been expected to make it through the cuts process, including wide receiver Jaron Brown, defensive end Cassius Marsh and cornerback Jamar Taylor surprisingly found themselves released by the Seahawks.
On the flip side, in spite of the overwhelming odds of late round draft picks having the talent and skill to develop into NFL players, the Hawks not only kept all eleven of their 2019 draft picks on the either the 53 or the PUP list, they also kept seven of nine of their 2018 draftees.
