Roster cuts are happening across the NFL, and that includes the Seattle Seahawks after waiving seven players on Sunday. Every team has two days before they’re obliged to cut the 90-man roster down to 53, after which we get into the fun of waiver pickups, practice squad formations, and placing players on injured reserve.
In the interest of simplicity this is truly the initial 53-man projection, so there may be some names omitted who end up on the roster anyway.
