Leeds as good as safe? Thumping Burnley win opens nine-point gap to drop
Leeds United's 3-1 win over Burnley secures a nine-point gap from relegation.
The Seattle Seahawks signed seven undrafted free agents ahead of rookie minicamp, including three edge rushers and two wide receivers. The team aims to bolster its roster with these new additions.
The Seattle Seahawks signed seven undrafted free agents Friday ahead of rookie minicamp.
The team had senior reporter John Boyle publish a press release on seahawks.com at 11:09 a.m. PST officially announcing the transactions.
Positionally, they went with three edge rushers, two wide receivers, one tight end and one nose tackle.
The three edge rushers are Devean Deal from Texas Christian, Aidan Hubbard from Northwestern, and Marvin Jones Jr. from Oklahoma. This is the biggest UDFA position group to watch, not only with the amount of players but with the possibility of making the active roster. Jared Ivey made the team as a UDFA last year and stayed on the active roster the entire time, figuring to step into a rotational role this season. If any of these three want to follow in his footsteps, they’d need to compete with Connor O’Toole, Jamie Sheriff and Jalan Gaines.
The two wide receivers are Michael Briscoe from Cal Poly and Levi Wentz from Kansas. They’ll compete for depth behind a loaded room that includes three highly paid starters and three backups the team is more invested in. Their main competition for space on the practice squad or roster this season would look to be Montorie Foster Jr., Cody White and Ricky White III.
The tight end, Lance Mason from Wisconsin, comes from a run-heavy school but led the team in receiving as a senior. This one has Brian Fleury written all over it. With Fleury’s offense coming into town, Mason fits his mold at TE- a willing run blocker who can take advantage in the pass game, a true Y tight end if you will. Apparently the San Francisco 49ers liked him too, but Seattle beat their rivals once again, and with their esteemed former tight ends coach running the offense, it’s no surprise. Mason’s competition for a job in the tight end room is clear, as and there’s likely only space for one to stay into the regular season.

The Seahawks focused on signing three edge rushers, two wide receivers, one tight end, and one nose tackle among their undrafted free agents.

The nose tackle, Uso Seumalo from Kansas State, had to work his way up for every inch of NFL draft prospect pedigree after beginning at Garden City Community College. This grinder mentality is exactly what you need in camp, against young talented offensive lineman and even other defensive lineman who have a better chance at the roster. He’d already beat the odds by making it to Kansas State and becoming an all-conference player at the FBS level, so he won’t be fazed putting on the Seahawks helmet today. He’ll be ready to make life hard for everyone with a guaranteed roster spot, possibly to the point he steals the show- and on the defensive line, that’s exactly what helps you stay around. Jarran Reed also took the junior college route and has been as dependable a pro as Seattle could ask for.
