A final 53-man roster projection following the preseason’s conclusion

The Seahawks wrapped up their preseason on Thursday, defeating the Raiders in a game that was too close to overtime. Though as many as 31 players didn’t play, and almost the entire roster was solidified ahead of Week 4, there were a couple jobs to be won (and lost) on Thursday. Here’s our final roster projection ahead of the 2019 regular season.

Smith played mostly great against the Raiders, shutting down any hope of the backup quarterback competition opening back up during the preseason finale. Assuming the injury that knocked him out of the first half isn’t serious, Seattle has their new backup to Wilson, and the safest option since Tarvaris Jackson.
