Seattle Seahawks NFC West

Hall only came away with 2.0 sacks in the third season of his rookie contract as he rotated in on the edge behind veteran DeMarcus Lawrence, Uchenna Nwosu and Boye Mafe. However, following a 2.0-sack performance in Super Bowl 60, Hall is now getting a second contract with the Seahawks. With Lawrence having just turned 34 and Mafe now playing with Cincinnati, Hall more easily projects for a starter-type role in 2026.

Charles was sidelined all of last season due to a knee injury, but it now appears he's moved past the issue. The 28-year-old appeared in 13 games for the Jets in 2024, failing to haul in his lone target while playing 221 total snaps (212 on special teams, nine on offense). Now in Seattle, Charles will likely compete for another special-teams role ahead of the 2026 season.

Cabeldue was unavailable for the Seahawks' final six games (including playoffs) last season after sustaining a knee injury. However, his participation in Tuesday's OTAs suggests he's now moved past the issue. Cabeldue is expected to play a depth role on Seattle's offensive line heading into the 2026 season.

Knight sustained a concussion during the Seahawks' Super Bowl LX win over the Patriots, but he's now cleared protocol and returned to the field. Across 16 regular-season appearances in 2025, the UTEP product tallied 57 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, and two forced fumbles. He'll likely operate as Seattle's top reserve inside linebacker during the 2026 season.

Rochelle earned a contract after trying out with the Seahawks during rookie minicamp. After spending his first two seasons at Rutgers, Rochelle transferred to FCS Indiana State for his final two campaigns, recording 102 receptions for 1,388 yards and 13 touchdowns. He impressed as a returner with 28.1 yards per kickoff return, scoring a 95-yard touchdown in his senior season, too. It will be difficult to contribute as a returner with Rashid Shaheed in the mix in Seattle, but Rochelle will push for a reserve roster spot through the offseason program and training camp.

The deal is worth up to $5 million. Fowler will turn 32 years old later this summer and is headed into his 12th season out of the University of Florida. He appeared in all 17 regular-season games with the Cowboys last season, making 11 starts, but recorded just 3.0 sacks as a sub-package edge rusher while playing 32 percent of the defensive snaps. In Seattle, he'll provide depth behind DeMarcus Lawrence, Uchenna Nwosu and Derick Hall.

Wentz began his collegiate career with Old Dominion before transferring to Kansas. As a senior with the Jayhawks, he tallied 16 catches for 258 yards and two touchdowns. Wentz is 6-foot-2, 205 pounds and is a former defensive back who plays with plenty of physicality. He may need some time to further develop as a wideout, making him a longshot to open the season on Seattle's NFL roster.

Mason is coming off a senior season with Wisconsin during which he caught 30 passes for 398 yards and four touchdowns. Prior to that, he spent his first three campaigns at Missouri State. Mason is 6-foot-3 with reliable hands, but he isn't particularly quick or agile. Seattle's tight-end corps is led by AJ Barner and Elijah Arroyo, and Mason may be headed for a spot on the practice squad.

The details of the deal are unknown at this point, but Bryant fits with the Seahawks' recent approach of seeking out hard-nosed tight ends. As for his competition, 2024 fourth-rounder AJ Barner, 2025 second-rounder Elijah Arroyo and veteran Eric Saubert are all likely to make Seattle's 53-man roster to start the 2026 season, but there's a decent chance the team keeps four tight ends, meaning one of Bryant or Nick Kallerup could potentially make the opening roster too.

Henderson (6-foot-1, 185 pounds) might be a better bet to make a roster than most other sixth-round rookie receiver selections, because Henderson is fully expected to stand out as a special-teams gunner. Henderson was a known special-teams presence even while he was a backup wideout at Alabama, but Henderson managed to log an encouraging season of wideout production in his one year at Kansas. The selection of Henderson might be a bad sign for 2025 seventh-round pick Ricky White, who was also largely selected for his special-teams ability.

Not that it's unusual for late seventh-round picks, but Dansby was well off the NFL Draft radar after playing three seasons at San Jose State and one at Arizona, all of them unremarkable. At a listed 5-foot-11, 185 pounds, Dansby didn't participate in pre-draft athletic testing, so his skill set and tools grade both are question marks at best. Perhaps the Seahawks saw something in Dansby's special-teams upside.

Fuller (6-foot-1, 200 pounds) spent the first two years of his collegiate career at the FCS level before transferring to Toledo in 2022, and it wasn't until his fourth season with the Rockets that he stepped into a starting role. A safety-turned-cornerback, Fuller boasts a desirable frame for his position and logged a solid 4.49 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine, and starting his career behind returning outside corners Devon Witherspoon and Josh Jobe is sufficient to allow the rookie seventh-rounder time to develop. Fuller's combination of size and speed could help him carve out a role on special teams early on.
