Thanks, likely more accurate than OTC.com

Can you get individual player contracts at that site?

No, that would be nice. The contracts at OTC I think are mostly correct. The difference comes in cap adjustments.

I anticipate the presence of a #3 center replacement for Mike Novitsky.

Could that be Ilm Manning? Guess we will find out soon enough.

 

[jammerhawk]

The practice reports seem to indicate that the 3rd guy is now Jalen Sundell. He played C in college as well as T. EDIT: The initial team DC shows Sundell as a RT.

Sundell is at least being looked at at C. Rumble is Connor Williams wanted more than the team was prepared to pay. So far he hasn’t’t been signed elsewhere however.

EDIT: I guess the team and Williams are working on the terms of a deal. I appear to have been wrong in terms of my understanding of the rumours.

Seahawks working on a deal with OL Connor Williams

The Seahawks are close to a deal with free agent offensive lineman Connor Williams.

If they sign him, I expect them to do a slow churn to make sure he is sound and ready to go full speed. Get him and Lucas included into our O line and that's a significant upgrade and improvement.

Here is the first team DC for the this year as per Fieldgulls.com:

Here’s the first Seahawks unofficial depth chart of the Mike Macdonald era

Emphasis on unofficial, although much of the depth chart seems to align with training camp.

If the team does sign Connor Williams I’d expect him to be used sparingly in the preseason as his ACL recovery continues.

The Seahawks added to their outside linebacker depth on Tuesday, signing Jamie Sheriff. Outside linebacker Josh Onujiogu was waived/injured to make room on the 90-man roster.

Thanks Jville, as ever always appreciated!!!

This acquisition signals a wish to see more from the edge rush. Perhaps this player is a keeper but is more than likely a camp body only.

[Jville]

Conner Williams' longer-than-expected free agency has concluded with the interior offensive lineman signing a one-year deal with the Seattle Seahawks that's worth up to $6 million with $3 million guaranteed, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Tuesday night.

[jammerhawk]

Thank you my friend!!!

I'm jazzed!!! This signing, presuming the player stays healthy, could possibly ensure the Seahawks now has a truly high quality OLine.

Updated.

There will be a player to be released once the Williams deal becomes official.

With all the churn at DT you wonder what it is they are looking for, or why it is needed?

[jammerhawk]

Thanks Jville, always appreciate your contributions!!!

I guess the team doesn't plan on playing that many starters on the DLine during the preseason.

Cameron Young seemingly has been out a great deal since being drafted. To me this roster churn is just to find guys that could play. Not many of them could be described as more than 'just a guy'. Kendricks does however look to be interesting and seemingly has good mobility numbers.

More roster churn:

Seahawks Sign CB Willie Roberts

signed: CB- Willie Roberts,
released: DT- Matthew Gotel (waived injured)

Updated.

 

[jammerhawk]

NFL transactions indicates that both WR-Marcus Simms and OLB/DE- Joshua Onujiogu have cleared waivers and have now reverted to IR.

Matt Gotel was in fact also waived injured so we shall see if he gets claimed.
