Now that the Seahawks have set their initial 53-man roster for the 2017 season it’s time to take a quick look at each position and how it came together over the weekend.
QUARTERBACK
KEEP: Russell Wilson, Austin Davis.
CUT: Trevone Boykin.
COMMENT: Ultimately the Seahawks went with the steady vet over erratic youth, deciding to keep Davis, who led a game-winning drive against the Raiders in a contest in which Boykin threw two interceptions, finishing the preseason with four — Davis didn’t have any. Davis will have to be paid about $300,000 more than Boykin, but the Seahawks obviously see some value in doing that, desiring someone who has played some after Wilson’s injury scares of last season.
