Seattle Seahawks cut Ahtyba Rubin, Trevone Boykin to trim roster to 53

The Seattle Seahawks made 39 moves to trim their roster to the NFL-mandated 53 players. Here's a closer look at the final cuts:

Most significant move: The release of starting defensive tackle Ahtyba Rubin, though it wasn't a complete shock. Rubin, 31, was a two-year starter for the Seahawks and an anchor of their early-down run defense after signing with the team in free agency in 2015. He was only one year into a three-year, $12 million deal that he signed in March 2016, but Seattle needed to make room for Sheldon Richardson and his $8.
