A little over three weeks remain until the Seattle Seahawks report for training camp for the 2021 season, meaning that just over six weeks remain until the first of three rounds of roster cuts. For those who have forgotten or who might have missed it this offseason, teams will make three rounds of cuts this year, on the following schedule:
- First Round: Tuesday August 17 - five cuts to trim roster to 85 players
- Second Round: Tuesday August 24 - five cuts to trim roster to 80 players
- Third Round: Tuesday August 31 - final 27 cuts to trim roster to 53 players
With the shortened preseason, that’s a round of cuts after each of the three preseason games teams will play, and will create extra intrigue as waiver wire activity could create additional roster shuffling in camp that hasn’t been seen in the past few seasons.
