Field Gulls
With questions swirling about depth on the interior of the defensive line, Seattle addressed the position signing a free agent nose tackle.
It has been barely a day since the the Seattle Seahawks created an open roster spot with the release of tight end Noah Fant, and on Monday afternoon the team has announced that it had created a second open roster spot.
The second spot comes via the waiving of cornerback Zy Alexander, and in the same press release the team noted how it had filled the open roster spots.
As Field Gulls reported just minutes ago, the Seahawks added defensive back Kam Alexander of Oregon by way of UTSA and Sam Houston State to fill one spot, and filled the second spot with 6’3”, 338 pound nose tackle Justin Rogers.
Justin Rogers was a seventh round selection of the Dallas Cowboys in the 2024 NFL Draft, but was waived at final roster cuts. The Cincinnati Bengals then signed him to their practice squad, which is where he spent most of the 2024 season until December, when the Cowboys poached him off the Bengals practice squad.
Rogers then signed a futures contract with the Cowboys, but was waived at the end of the offseason program in June.
