The Seattle Seahawks announced two notable signings on Friday, bringing on wide receiver River Cracraft and re-signing linebacker Josh Ross. While Ross’ re-signing was reported earlier in the month it’s only been made official this week.
Cracraft, 30, will be an intriguing addition to the receiving corps, having played at Washington State for four seasons before joining Denver’s practice squad in 2017. While at WSU, Cracraft had 218 receptions for 2,701 yards and 20 touchdowns, including 66 receptions for 771 yards during his sophomore year.
After getting some regular-season playing time with the Broncos from 2018-2019, Cracraft appeared in games for the 49ers and Dolphins between 2020 and 2024. In total, Cracraft has appeared in 53 games over seven seasons, recording 32 receptions for 374 yards and three touchdowns.
If Seattle needs a punt returner, Cracraft can do that as well, gaining experience on special teams as a kick and punt returner between 2018 and 2020 during his time with Denver and San Francisco.
