The Seahawks signed seven undrafted rookie free agents on Friday, the team announced.
Seattle’s undrafted rookie class includes three edge rushers, a position the team did not address in the draft. TCU’s Devean Deal, Northwestern’s Aidan Hubbard and Oklahoma’s Marvin Jones Jr. join Cal Poly wide receiver Michael Briscoe, Kansas wide receiver Levi Wentz, Wisconsin tight end Lance Mason and Kansas State nose tackle Uso Seumalo at the team’s rookie minicamp, along with the draft class.
Deal appeared in 58 career games and totaled 173 tackles, 37.5 tackles for loss and 13 sacks.
Jones played 49 career games with Georgia (2022-23), Florida State (2024) and OU (2025). He made 19 starts and totaled 62 tackles, 16.5 tackles for loss and eight sacks.
Hubbard started 26 of 47 games that he played at Northwestern. His 20.5 career sacks are fifth all-time in program history.
Briscoe played 23 career games and made 35 receptions for 787 yards and seven touchdowns, while also contributing as a rusher and a passer.
Wentz finished his five-year, three-school college career with one season at Kansas, making 16 catches for 258 yards and two touchdowns. He also played at Albany and Old Dominion.
Mason earned second-team All-Big Ten honors in his one season at Wisconsin. He made 30 receptions for a team-high 398 yards and four touchdowns in 2025. Mason spent his first three seasons at Missouri State.
Seumalo played 50 career games in four seasons at Kansas State after four seasons at Garden City Community College. In 12 games in 2025, Seumalo posted a career-high 20 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, a sack and two passes defensed.

It was fun while it lasted. Even if it didn’t last very long.
Following Thursday’s report from Front Office Sports that Meta mogul Mark Zuckerberg is exploring the possibility of making a bid for the Seahawks, a Meta spokesperson told Bloomberg that Zuckerberg is not interested.
Front Office Sports also reported that recently-retired Apple CEO Tim Cook is interested. A “source close to Apple” later said the report is “completely false.”
Zuckerberg has the money to show up and buy all of the Seahawks without debt or limited partners. Few do. As it stands, he won’t be doing it.
The FOS report indicated that four people were exploring making a bid. The other two potential bidders weren’t named.
As explained in February, the league anticipates that some previously unknown tech billionaire will swoop in and buy the team. It’s the best way for someone with a lot of money to inject themselves into the public consciousness, for better or worse.
Over the years, plenty of sports owners have learned the hard way that the only thing better than being rich and famous is being rich.
Earlier this week, free-agent quarterback Russell Wilson had a visit with the Jets. He’s also looking at another potential path.
Andrew Marchand of The Athletic reports that Wilson is in “deep discussions” to embark on a television career. Per Marchand, CBS is considered to be the favorite.
Wilson has made bye-week appearances with CBS, and its Sunday studio show currently has an opening after the departure of Matt Ryan for a high-level job with the Falcons.
Marchand also reports that CBS has shown interest in Hall of Fame linebacker Luke Kuechly.
With Wilson firmly in the backup-at-best phase of his football career, it makes sense to explore available options in TV. Very few quarterbacks who were once the highest-paid player in the league choose to continue as understudies when their opportunities as starters have dried up. (Joe Flacco is the rare exception.)
Wilson, who seems to be interested in remaining in the New York area, could work for CBS from its Manhattan studio. It makes too much sense to not happen, if CBS ultimately decides to make him an offer — and if he accepts it.
Wilson, a third-round pick in 2012, won a Super Bowl and went to another during a decade with the Seahawks. He then spent two seasons with the Broncos, one with the Steelers, and one with the Giants. He started three games in 2025 before being benched for rookie Jaxson Dart.
With the Jets, Wilson would be the backup to Geno Smith, Wilson’s former backup in Seattle.
There’s a new tallest cornerback in the NFL.
The Seahawks have announced that Tyrone Broden, who was a practice squad wide receiver, is changing his position to cornerback.
At 6-foot-5, Broden now becomes the tallest cornerback in the league. In fact, if he plays in a regular-season game at cornerback, he’d be the tallest in league history: According to pro-football-reference.com, no player listed at taller than 6-foot-4 has ever played cornerback in a regular-season game.
Last year there were two 6-foot-4 cornerbacks in the NFL, Seattle’s Riq Woolen (who is now with the Eagles) and Chicago’s Nahshon Wright (who is now with the Jets). Broden has an inch on both of them.
The 25-year-old Broden was a wide receiver throughout his college career, first for three years at Bowling Green and then for two years at Arkansas. After going undrafted last year, he spent 2025 on the Seahawks’ practice squad.
Broden will have plenty of work to do to make the Seahawks’ regular-season roster at a new position, but if he makes it, he’ll make NFL history as the tallest cornerback ever.
The Seahawks signed five of their eight draft picks ahead of their rookie minicamp this weekend.
The team announced Thursday that third-round cornerback Julian Neal, fifth-round guard Beau Stephens, seventh-round cornerback Andre Fuller, seventh-round defensive tackle Deven Eastern and seventh-round cornerback Michael Dansby are now under contract.
All five received a four-year deal.
Their signings leave only first-round pick Jadarian Price, second-round pick Bud Clark and sixth-round pick Emmanuel Henderson Jr. unsigned from the 2026 class.
The Seahawks are doing some selling. And multiple billionaires could be looking to do some buying.
Via Ben Horney of Front Office Sports, potential suitors for the Seattle Seahawks include Facebook/Meta mogul Mark Zuckerberg and recently-retired Apple CEO Tim Cook. Both are considering making bids.
Two others, whose names have not yet emerged, are looking into the possibility of putting together an offer.
The next owner will pay a record amount for controlling interest in a team. At the time it was reported that the Seahawks will be sold, we reported that the expected range for a final price will be $9 billion to $11 billion.
The Commanders set the record in 2023, with a purchase price of $6.05 billion.
Zuckerberg has more than enough money to write a check for 100 percent of the equity, whatever the final price. Cook has a reported net worth of $2.9 billion. That won’t be enough to come up with the cash to buy at least 30 percent of the equity, which makes it very hard for him to be anything other than a minority partner.
The Seahawks officially hit the market on February 18, after the NFL applied pressure to current owner Jody Allen to proceed with the wishes of her late brother, Paul Allen, to sell the team and distribute the proceeds to his chosen charities. A $5 million fine for non-compliance with league ownership rules was levied and then rescinded, we’re told, with the understanding that the team would be promptly put up for sale after the 2025 season.
And while the Seahawks’ status as the reigning Super Bowl champion won’t change the balance sheets, it adds a little cachet to a process that has less to do with book value and more to do with acquiring a rare asset that is always appreciating.
UPDATE 5:32 p.m. ET: The FOS article has been updated to include a claim, from a “source close to Apple,” that the notion Cook is considering a bid for the Seahawks is “completely false.”
The Seahawks signed tight end Harrison Bryant on Wednesday, the team announced.
Bryant, 28, spent last season with the Texans after the Eagles released him out of the preseason. He played 12 games with four starts and made two catches for 7 yards and one tackle.
The Browns made Bryant a fourth-round draft pick in 2020, and he started in nine games his rookie year. In his career, Bryant has appeared in 90 games, starting 27, and has caught 100 passes for 884 yards and 10 touchdowns.
After four seasons in Cleveland, Bryant joined the Raiders in 2024.
The addition of Bryant gives the Seahawks five tight ends as he joins AJ Barner, Elijah Arroyo, Nick Kallerup and Eric Saubert on the roster at the position.
The Seahawks now have 83 players on the roster, not including undrafted rookie free agents who will sign ahead of rookie minicamp this week. Seattle can have up to 91 players on the roster, including international pathway player, Federico Maranges.
Before the draft, the Seahawks brought in free agent edge rusher Dante Fowler for a visit. Still in need of pass rush help after the draft, Fowler remains in play for Seattle.
Fowler is “a top option” for the Seahawks, according to Brady Henderson of ESPN.
Seahawks defensive coordinator Aden Durde has coached Fowler before, both in Atlanta in 2020 and in Dallas in 2022 and 2023, so if Fowler were to sign with the Seahawks, he would arrive in Seattle with a good understanding of his role in the defense.
The 31-year-old Fowler spent last season with the Cowboys, playing in all 17 games with 11 starts.
Geno Smith served as Russell Wilson’s backup for two seasons in Seattle. Could Wilson be Smith’s backup with the Jets?
Zack Rosenblatt of TheAthletic.com reports that Wilson visited the Jets on Monday night and is an option for the backup job to Smith.
Smith, per Rosenblatt, was presented with various options for the No. 2 job and was “excited” about the prospect of having Wilson in the quarterbacks room. Wilson and the Jets spoke before the draft and scheduled his free agent visit.
Wilson, 37, has received no other known interest since becoming a free agent in March.
He said at the end of last season that he intended to continue his NFL career.
Wilson went 0-3 as a starter for the Giants in New York before being benched in favor of rookie Jaxson Dart. Wilson completed 58 percent of his passes for 831 yards with three touchdowns and three interceptions in 2025.
In his 14-year career, Wilson has a 121-80-1 record with 46,966 yards, 353 touchdowns and 114 interceptions. He has made the Pro Bowl 10 times. He led the Seahawks to a victory in Super Bowl XLVIII.
The Seahawks added Jadarian Price with the 32nd overall pick in the draft last week and the addition of a rookie running back has pushed an older player out of the backfield mix in Seattle.
The team announced that they have released Cam Akers on Monday.
Akers joined the Seahawks after playing in three games for the Vikings last season and he made three more appearances for Seattle. He did not play any offensive snaps, but returned a pair of kickoffs for 54 yards. He also made one postseason appearance en route to picking up his second Super Bowl ring.
Akers won his first with the Rams after the 2021 season and he has also played for the Texans over the course of his NFL career.
Price joins Emanuel Wilson, Zach Charbonnet, George Holani, Kenny McIntosh and Jacardia Wright in the Seahawks’ running back group.
