The Seattle Seahawks have moved on from both of their seventh-round rookie cornerbacks as they trimmed down to the initial 53-man roster.
ESPN’s Brady Henderson reported that Andre Fuller, the former Toledo corner Seattle drafted, has been waived. Michael Dansby, who came to the Seahawks out of Arizona, was waived as well. If both players clear waivers by Monday, they could circle back to Seattle on the practice squad.
That leaves the Seahawks’ cornerback group in a familiar state of churn behind the top names. Josh Jobe, Devon Witherspoon, and Nehemiah Pritchett are the clearest constants right now, while the rest of the room has been in motion.
Seattle used a third-round pick on Julian Neal, but he missed the entire preseason because of an injury. Fuller and Dansby, meanwhile, both logged plenty of preseason reps.
The team has also been active elsewhere at the position. Seattle signed Terrion Arnold, though the expectation is that he won’t be around any time soon, and added veteran Trevon Diggs.
The Seahawks also traded for rookie cornerback Avery Smith from the Los Angeles Chargers. Another name to watch is Noah Igbinoghene, who may have made the roster or could be headed for a release and a possible practice-squad landing spot.
Unless Deven Eastern gets an unexpected nod, none of Seattle’s sixth- or seventh-round picks from this year’s draft will have cracked the 53-man roster. Given how this year’s draft has been viewed, that outcome is not exactly a shock.

Mike Macdonald Sends Seahawks Fans A Clear Message Before Cutdowns
The preseason ended in a 9-9 tie with Kansas City after Jason Myers missed a 52-yard field goal as time expired, but Mike Macdonald was more interested in the bigger picture than the final score. With several starters sitting out, the Seahawks used the exhibition slate to sort through depth and keep the roster moving toward opening day, and Macdonald came away satisfied with the progress and effort he saw.
Now the real roster work begins, with Seattle facing the league deadline to trim from 90 players to 53. Macdonalds message to fans was clear enough: the preseason record does not tell the story, because the priority has been health, preparation and getting the roster right for the regular season.

Seahawks Fans May Be Watching Two Franchise Icons Fade Without Closure
For Seahawks fans, the news around Tyler Lockett and Bobby Wagner lands with a familiar kind of weight. Both names are woven into the modern identity of the franchise, and after the leagues final roster cuts for 2026, neither was on an NFL teams roster heading into the season. Neither player has announced retirement, but the absence of a contract offer leaves their next step hanging in the air.
Locketts recent production has trended downward, while Wagner has still shown he can perform at a high level, which only makes the uncertainty more striking. For Seattle supporters, the unresolved part is hard to ignore: two franchise figures are still out there, still officially active, and still without a team as the season approaches. [Read more 🡒]
Seahawks Suddenly Have A Familiar Safety Decision To Make
K'Von Wallace has already spent meaningful time in Seattle's safety mix, and his name is back in the conversation after the Baltimore Ravens released him ahead of their final cutdown. Wallace logged significant snaps for the Seahawks in 2024 before an ankle injury ended his season, so there is at least some familiarity here for a team still sorting out its defensive backfield.
Seattle's safety room does have bodies, with Julian Love, Ty Okada and Bud Clark among the options, but the depth chart is not exactly settled. Clark is working back from a broken ankle, and that leaves the Seahawks in a spot where a known veteran option could make some sense if they want more competition at the back end. [Read more 🡒]
