First reports of signing bonuses for Seahawks UDFA class emerge

The 2022 NFL Draft is in the rear view mirror, and teams across the NFL have returned to their offseason programs as the time until training camp slowly ticks off. Several teams, including the Seattle Seahawks, will get their first look at some of their young additions this weekend at rookie minicamp, and these first looks will be an opportunity to see not just drafted players, but the members of the undrafted free agent classes as well.

According to reports, the Seahawks have agreed to contracts with 14 undrafted free agents, including:

  • QB Levi Lewis,
  • TE John Mitchell
  • WR Demetris Robertson
  • WR Rodney Coates
  • WR Jake Herslow
  • G Shamarious Gilmore
  • DE Josh Onujiogu
  • NT Matthew Gotel
  • LB Vi Jones
  • CB Joshua Valentine-Turner
  • S Joey Blount
  • S Deontai Williams
  • S Bubba Bolden
  • S Scott Nelson

For those wondering how the Seahawks managed to sign a class of 14 undrafted free agents following initial reports of a 13 member class, the reason likely lies in the roster exemption given for Aaron Donkor.
