Exploring the Seahawks 53-man roster

Hawks Playbook Podcast Episode 26   Exploring the 53-man roster

Open:  Welcome again to the Hawks Playbook Podcast with your Host’s Bill Alvstad and Keith Myers. It’s been a great off season since we started 6 months ago way back in February, and here we are 26 episodes later.  If you have been with us since the beginning, we thank you.  If you’re just joining us for the first time (Bandwagoner!), we welcome you too!

This is the first of two podcasts this week. It’s a great show and we’re glad you’re with us.

In the News:  MEGA TRADE!!  We got Sheldon Richardson!!

In a trade heard around the world, the Seahawks traded Jermaine Kearse, a 2018 2nd round pick and a 2018 7th round pick to the New York Jets for defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson.  As Keith points out in the show, the 7th was a throw in and the team was going to be moving on from Kearse anyway, so we essentially traded a late 2nd round pick for one of the game's best DTs. 

Featured Segment:  Bill and Keith Breakdown the 53-Man Roster

Bill and Keith bob and weave over the team’s final 53-man roster going through it by position group. It’s a nice comprehensive conversation that include why the team let go of Kasen Williams and moved on from Jermaine Kearse. They also talk abut the 10 guys added to the Practice Squad.
