In the wake of the 2023 NFL Draft, many fans of the Seattle Seahawks were extremely excited that the Hawks landed Florida State defensive tackle Robert Cooper as a big body in the middle of an overhauled defensive line. However, weeks after landing the potential force on the interior of the defensive line, Seattle opted to move on, waiving Cooper.
After clearing waivers Cooper remained a free agent until early August when the Seahawks brought him back when they waived Roderick Perry. However, Cooper’s time with the team was once again short, and he was waived a second time last Saturday after the preseason opener against the Minnesota Vikings.
