I'd like to see Bell get Bellore's spot. Built like a wrecking ball and plays with high energy. Bellore might be solid on ST's but I'd love to see Bell get coached up to take the few snaps at FB, blowing guys up to open lanes. He can't be too bad on ST's. Might be the time for a change.

I have been saying for a bit now that you either trade taylor or cut bellore. Would rather trade taylor.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

I wouldn't mind seeing Taylor traded. He has 6.7 mil guaranteed. Get that off the books and bring in someone else. Maybe a legit run stuffing DT.
Trades are easier said than done, of course.

Emil Ekiyor is an interesting name from that list you provided. From what I remember hearing about him, he was an absolute road grader but needed work on his pass blocking. Would be a good project. Not sold on Bradford just yet.

Man, as a Bama fan, I'd love him here. I was stunned that he went undrafted. He's good enough to play in this league.

Trades are easier said than done, of course.

Taylor's full four-year contract was worth just over $6.764M. This year, his cap hit is $619K of his signing bonus plus whatever part of his just-over-$1.5M salary is paid. So without a time machine, the maximum cap savings from moving him would be just over $1.5M. The veteran-minimum salary this year is $1.08M, so if you're counting on the $1.5M cap savings from moving Taylor to bring in a player, you're going to be scraping the bottom of the barrel.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

I clearly read wrong, because I just saw an article saying he had a full 6.7 guaranteed. Good, makes it easier to trade him then. I don't claim to be a cap expert.
This is what I just read:

Remember that according to projections, Nwosu should have the 29th-most sacks in 2023 with seven, while Taylor is 33rd with a projected total of 6.8. Right now, Taylor’s contract value is $6.7 million, and it is fully guaranteed. We hope the Seahawks see the value in trading him for more cap space and future draft capital.

• DT Robert Cooper

Interesting that they would report Robert Cooper as a cut now. While technically that is correct but he got released about 2 weeks ago and hasn't been with the team since. He signed with Eagles after he was cut by the Seahawks.

 

[bileever]

No surprises so far. The first cuts:

• RB Bryant Koback
• RB Wayne Taulapapa
• WR Malik Flowers
• WR Ra'Shaun Henry
• WR Justin Marshall
• TE Sal Cannella
• TE Noah Gindorff
• DE Jordan Ferguson
• DE DaMarcus Mitchell
• DT Anthony Montalvo
• CB Montrae Braswell
• CB Benjie Franklin
• CB Chris Steele

 

[sc85sis]

I’m a bad USC fan; I’m actually glad they cut Chris Steele. He’s talented, but he was a penalty machine in college. Drove me nuts.

 

[Boiler]

Sounds like Easop Winston was released, per 710. I hope they can get him on the practice squad.

 

[CactusJack]

 

[CactusJack]

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Yeah, pretty tough for a TE trying to make this team. We are loaded with Dis/Fant/Parkinson

 

[nanomoz]

Seahawks players waived or released (20): Sal Cannella, Jordan Ferguson, Malik Flowers, Benjie Franklin, Justin Marshall, Chris Steele, Wayne Taulapapa, Griffin Hebert, Arquon Bush, Tyjon Lindsey, Jalen McKenzie, Liam Ryan, Kendall Randolph, Matt Landers, Matt Gotel, Easop Winston Jr, Levi Bell, Greg Eiland, Tyler Mabry, Ty Okada

Really no big surprises, imo. Maybe Levi Bill, mild surprise.

 

[Hawknight]

Lindsey was entertaining to watch.

 

[sutz]

Really no big surprises, imo. Maybe Levi Bill, mild surprise.

Yeah, Bell was maybe a small surprise. He seemed to do well, but our LB room is crowded. Hopefully he gets on the practice squad so he's available at least on a spot basis or to call up in an emergency.

 

[AROS]

Yeah no real surprises here outside of possibly Bell. Hope too he makes it to our PS.

 

[hawkfan68]

Probably a mild surprise that Joey Blount was waived with an injury designation.
