The Seattle Seahawks made their initial cuts on Sunday, trimming their roster down to 53 players. There weren't too many shockers, which is the norm when a team is as complete as the defending champions are.

A couple of potential surprises include the decision to release Trevon Diggs, the veteran cornerback who was recently signed to add depth. Of course, Seattle did add UDFA Avery Smith via trade before all the cuts were announced, shaking things up in the secondary.

Another surprise in the secondary is the lack of safeties on the initial 53-man roster. Seattle is going with just three safeties, releasing both D’Anthony Bell and Rodney Thomas II while waiving AJ Finley. Seattle will surely bring some of those players back via the practice squad, but could look for outside help as well.

Offensively, the Seahawks elected to keep Emanuel Wilson while letting go of preseason star Jacardia White. They also kept Montorie Foster Jr. at wide receiver following his strong performance this offseason. With all the dust settled on the roster cuts, let's take a look at the current depth chart for the Seahawks.
