Seahawks finalize 53-man roster with Avery Smith addition as nine vested veterans depart
TL;DR Summary
Seattle set its initial 53-man roster by trading for cornerback Avery Smith with the Chargers and releasing nine vested veterans, including Trevon Diggs, Velus Jones Jr., and Nick Vannett. The team also waived 26 other players, placed Zach Charbonnet on reserve/PPD (physically unable to perform) and moved Irvin Charles to injured reserve with return. Under NFL rules, vested veterans are not subject to waivers and become free agents, giving Seattle flexibility to add players via waivers or the practice squad as the season approaches.
