We’re a week removed from the NFL Draft. Have your views changed at all about the Seahawks roster?

Almost exactly one a month ago, we had an open thread about your biggest concerns regarding the Seattle Seahawks roster. Let’s take a look at some of your responses!

Well the NFL Draft has come and gone, and the Seattle Seahawks have added eight draft picks and a slew of undrafted free agents. If you need a refresher, here are the drafted players and UDFAs:

Round 1, Pick 16: Byron Murphy II, DT, Texas

Round 3, Pick 81:...

Retired DL J.J. Watt told reporters that if Texans HC DeMeco Ryans absolutely needed his help, he would “be there.”

“I’m a very fortunate, lucky man, I have a beautiful wife, I have a beautiful son. I’ve had 12 great years in this league and I’m very thankful to have walked away healthy and playing great,” Watt said, via ESPN.com. “*I told DeMeco [Ryans] last year: ‘Don’t call unless you absolutely need it, but, if you ever do call, I’ll be there.’ And he knows not to call unless he absolutely needs it. This is the last year I’ll...

Falcons

• Falcons GM Terry Fontenot after drafting QB Michael Penix Jr.: “Kirk Cousins is our quarterback. We’re very excited about Kirk and our team. Michael Penix is about the future. We are very excited about that quarterback room.” (Josh Kendall)
• Atlanta QB Kirk Cousins‘ agent Mike McCartney on the Falcons taking Penix: *“Yes, it was a big surprise. We had no idea this was coming. The truth is the whole league had no idea this was coming. We got no heads up. Kirk got a call from the Falcons when they were on the clock. That was...

The Jets brought an end to Zach Wilson‘s disappointing New York tenure when they traded their former No. 2 overall selection for a mere pick swap on Day 3 of last month’s draft. According to ESPN’s Rich Cimini, Wilson’s camp was, in the run-up to the 2021 draft, deeply worried about Gang Green’s history of failure to develop young quarterbacks and how that would impact Wilson’s own career, but the BYU product was convinced he would be the player to buck that trend.

Of course, that was not the case, and Wilson will now try to resurrect his career...

Here’s a look at the projected 2024 NFL cap space for each team. The cap figures below were provided by OverTheCap.com and are as of Mar 5.

It’s worth mentioning that this is just a snapshot of each team’s cap situation and the totals will change with every roster move. Also, not every reported roster move will be reflected in these figures, as it typically takes a day or two to fully process agreed-upon deals.

A week in, Kansas City’s first-round pick is confident — but ready to do what’s needed to get onto the field.

After being selected in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft last weekend, former Texas wideout Xavier Worthy is adjusting to the new reality of his life.

Raider Nation was happy with the draft overall

The Las Vegas Raiders have finished their draft, adding eight players to the roster. The class was full of pleasant surprises in the first two rounds, with good depth in the later rounds. Delmar Glaze will battle with Thayer Munford for the right tackle spot, with DeMarion Richardson being an athletic marvel. Players such as Trey Taylor may be able to contribute down the line. Time will tell, but the class appears to be strong overall.

With rookie camp around the corner, we will see these players on the field. In this...

Could this New Jersey kid earn a spot in crowded wide receive room?

Asked to compare himself to one wide receiver currently in the NFL, New York Giants undrafted free agent wide receiver Ayir Asante had a lofty answer:

Stefon Diggs.

Diggs, of course, is a four-time Pro Bowler with six consecutive 1,000-yard seasons, 810 receptions and 9,995 receiving yards on his resume.

Asante, 6-foot, 178 pounds, is a Jersey City, N.J. kid who went to Holy Cross and then transferred to Wyoming for his final season of collegiate eligibility. He had just 21 catches for Wyoming in 2023.

Dolphins

Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald went through the six Dolphins UDFAs including a quarterback who can potentially compete for the QB3 job.

• The Dolphins signed QB Gavin Hardison from UTEP who had four offers after the draft per his agent Jim Miller.
• One AFC coordinator on Hardison: “He’s an intriguing arm, but he’s not extremely accurate. He’s tough as [expletive]. But at least he showed arm talent that is different from some other guys.”
• Miami also added OL Matthew Jones from Ohio State, and Jackson pulled NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein scouting report: *“He comes off...

Former Raider Aldon Smith will mentoring the Jaguars as well

Former Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Aldon Smith had an excellent start to his career. In his first season, he had 15 sacks after being drafted in the top ten of the 2011 NFL draft.

After that season, things went downhill for Smith, haunting his progress. He has had his trials and tribulations during his career. He was in and out of the NFL, dealing with issues off the field that kept him from reaching his highest potential.

With his NFL career behind him, Aldon Smith wants to give back...
