Cody White’s time with the Seahawks appears to be over, and the next stop in his career is bringing him back to a familiar face.
Seattle didn’t just move on from the veteran receiver by releasing him. The team also chose not to keep him around on the practice squad, which had been the usual path for him over the past couple of seasons. Instead, White has signed with the Las Vegas Raiders practice squad.
That move reunites White with new Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak, who was his former Seahawks offensive coordinator.
The Raiders have not been especially active when it comes to picking up former Seahawks players, but they now have White on the practice squad and free agent signing Dareke Young on the 53-man active roster. Based on the current receiver depth chart in Las Vegas, White may have a more realistic route to game day elevations there, if not a shot at the active roster outright.
White is now one of the first two confirmed Seahawks roster cuts to land elsewhere this season, joining waiver claim Jared Ivey.
In Seattle, White had been fighting for a spot at the bottom of the wide receiver depth chart against Ricky White III, Montorie Foster Jr, and Emmanuel Henderson Jr. With Jake Bobo out for the year, there was at least a reasonable case for White to either make the active roster or return to Seattle’s practice squad.
Neither happened, and that outcome says plenty about how Foster’s camp and preseason went. He clearly pulled away from Ricky White and Henderson, making his case stronger as Seattle sorted out the final receiver spots.
We’ll always have this moment, Cody White! And you’ve got a ring as a result.

Seahawks Let Go Of A Cornerback Who Immediately Found A Real Role
Noah Igbinoghenes exit from Seattle came during final roster cuts, and the Seahawks did not bring him back on the practice squad after releasing him. It was a quick turn for a cornerback who had been in the mix for a place on the roster, only to see his time with the team end before the season officially got going.
Cleveland moved quickly to give him a real chance, signing Igbinoghene to its active roster and putting him in position to appear in regular season games. For Seattle, it is another reminder that the last days of roster trimming can send a player elsewhere almost immediately, especially one with enough talent to draw interest right away. [Read more 🡒]
Seahawks Just Lost A Promising Pass Rusher To A Brutal Rival
Jamie Sheriffs path with Seattle was always going to require patience, and the edge rushers latest move underscores how thin the margin can be for young defensive linemen trying to stick. After going undrafted out of South Alabama in 2024, Sheriff spent time on the Seahawks practice squad and worked his way into the mix before being among the final roster cuts ahead of the 2026 season.
Now he has landed with the Los Angeles Rams, signing to their practice squad, according to ESPNs Brady Henderson. For the Seahawks, it is another reminder that developmental pass rushers can quickly become available to a division rival, especially when teams are sorting out the back end of the roster and trying to preserve upside without losing it.

Panthers Spent A Future Pick On A Quiet Cutdown Day Addition
Cutdown day is usually about the final roster math, but the Chargers turned it into a small trade market by moving two undrafted free agents for future sixth-round picks. For Seattle, the addition was cornerback Avery Smith, a player who had been on the bubble before the deal gave him a cleaner path to a roster spot and the Seahawks a low-cost way to address a need on the back end.
The move fit the late-August theme for teams looking for help without spending much, and it also showed how quickly value can change once clubs start trimming to 53. Los Angeles was able to stockpile draft capital while still keeping its offensive line intact after trade talks, leaving Seattle with a quietly intriguing newcomer and another reminder that even the smallest roster moves can have a price attached.
