D'Anthony

Bell

The news was first reported by NFL Insider Jordan Schultz. Bell was one of the more well-liked players in the Seahawks’ locker room, according to Schultz. He finished last season in Carolina after the Panthers claimed him off waivers towards the end of the regular season. Bell also contributes to special teams, which could make him a fit on the practice squad.

Bell spent nearly all of the 2025 season with the Seahawks, but was waived late in the year and signed by the Panthers. Bell plays minimally on defense and largely contributes via special teams. He recorded four solo tackles on special teams for the Seahawks last year. The Seahawks correspondingly released CB Tyler Hall.

The fan-favorite rookie will be eligible to return after missing four games. Though not all teams utilize the fullback position, the Seahawks certainly do, and Ouzts has made a solid impression to begin his career. He boasts a 67.3 PFF run-blocking grade, ranking top three among running backs and fullbacks with at least 25 qualifying snaps. The Seahawks are on bye in Week 8. Seahawks FB Brady Russell will take over in Ouzts’ stead. The Seahawks signed S D’Anthony Bell to the active roster and S Jerrick Reed II to the practice squad.

Surratt will likely contribute on special teams. The Seahawks also waived S D’Anthony Bell, signed rookie LB Chris Paul Jr. and WR/RS Courtney Jackson to the practice squad and released RB Anthony Tyus III and OLB Jalen Gaines from the practice squad in corresponding moves.

Zappe started one game for the Browns last season and has 15 total starts across three career seasons. He now hits unrestricted free agency and will be in the backup quarterback mix for teams looking to add at the position. The Browns also did not tender an offer to DB D’Anthony Bell, DT Michael Dwumfour, DE James Houston, and RB John Kelly.
