The 2024 NFL commerce deadline has come and gone, and the Seattle Seahawks have opted to carry agency. Nobody incoming, nobody outgoing.
This isn’t to say the Seahawks didn’t make vital strikes earlier than the deadline. Defensive lineman Roy Robertson-Harris was acquired for a 2026 sixth-round choose, whereas inside linebacker Ernest Jones IV was traded from the Tennessee Titans to Seattle in trade for fellow linebacker Jerome Baker and a 2025 fourth-rounder.
I suppose essentially the most notable story of the day was a non-story that we’ve heard earlier than. ESPN’s Adam Schefter mentioned that regardless of hypothesis, the Seahawks weren’t sending away star receiver DK Metcalf. Jeremy Fowler added that groups known as Seattle, and presumably not entertained by John Schneider.
This doesn’t imply, nonetheless, that the Seahawks aren’t going to be making some important choices concerning the 53-man roster over the following couple of weeks.
Josh Jobe over Tre Brown, or Josh Jobe and Tre Brown?!
“Yeah, we’re going to need to make a few personnel choices this week, in order that’ll be on the docket for positive,” Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald mentioned on Monday.
That line was in reference as to if or not apply squad cornerback Josh Jobe, who’s now out of gameday elevations, has carried out sufficient to earn a spot on the energetic roster. Jobe has taken all of Brown’s snaps over the previous two weeks regardless of Brown being accessible on gameday. If minimal apply towards the Buffalo Payments was the cheap excuse for Brown, who had been coping with an ankle damage, then not even taking part in within the Los Angeles Rams sport regardless of no damage designation is an indication he’s probably within the canine home. His final full sport was a poor displaying towards the New York Giants, however he’d additionally been a stable starter final season. The operative phrases there are “final season,” underneath a distinct teaching workers.
Jobe hasn’t been setting the world ablaze with All-Professional degree play, however he does have an interception off of Josh Allen and a few passes defensed. It was greater than cheap to assume Brown might’ve been on the commerce block this week, however he stays for now.
If Jobe is signed, somebody needs to be let go.
Abe Lucas coming off PUP quickly?
Macdonald mentioned “there’s a probability” beginning proper deal with Abe Lucas makes his 2024 common season debut towards the San Francisco 49ers after the bye week. If he’s not activated off of the PUP checklist by November 13, he’ll revert to PUP and his season can be over. Nevertheless, if he’s activated, then another person can be got rid of the roster to make room for him.
Different Seahawks personnel modifications?
Macdonald was requested about what was on the desk concerning personnel, coaching, and schematic modifications as regards to righting the ship.
“All the above,” he mentioned. “I feel we’re doing plenty of good issues, however for those who go in sort of simply with a myopic view of, ‘Hey, it’s solely over right here,’ then you definitely would possibly miss one thing. I don’t wish to miss one thing. So, let’s undergo it with a fine-tooth comb and let’s be trustworthy and let’s go.”
It’s laborious to disregard Cody White getting 35 snaps in his apply squad elevation towards the Los Angeles Rams. Laviska Shenault Jr performed three snaps on offense and has not as a lot caught a move past 5 yards of the road of scrimmage. It took White one sport to get a pair of catches for 44 yards and exceed Shenault’s receiving complete for the season and Dareke Younger’s whole profession.
This isn’t to say Shenault is getting reduce when he’s the first kick returner, but when White impressed sufficient for some extra taking part in time then we might see an adjustment made after the bye week.
So whereas the Seahawks did nothing on Tuesday, anticipate some extra motion on the energetic roster within the coming days.
