Seattle Seahawks unveil initial 53-man roster for 2025 season

The 2025 Seattle Seahawks roster is set. Following final cutdowns from 90 players on Tuesday, the franchise should now have (for the most part) its opening day roster ready to go. There will always be some changes before Week 1.

Now, the Seahawks will dive into the waiver wire to try and pull in any final additions while also beginning to assemble their practice squad. Any players waived by the Seahawks will have to clear waivers to be eligible to re-sign with Seattle.

Among Seattle's 11 draft selections, eight made the initial roster. Running back Damien Martinez (seventh round) and wide receiver Ricky White III (seventh round) were the only two to be waived. Fifth-round pick Rylie Mills is expected to begin the season on the non-football injury list.

In addition to the roster, the team announced that 2024 third-round guard Christian Haynes will begin the season on injured reserve. Veteran defensive lineman Johnathan Hankins will also join Mills on the NFI list.

Three undrafted rookies also made the team in tight end Nick Kallerup and outside linebackers Jared Ivey and Connor O'Toole.

Here's the Seahawks' initial 53-man roster, by position.
