The Seattle Seahawks finally released the team’s final, 53-man roster this afternoon.
An apparent hold up was the team’s trade with Philadelphia for offensive lineman Stacy Andrews, which had to be approved by the league and has not been finalized yet, so the team likely will have to make another move.
Again, the roster still is a work in progress. No doubt, the team will look over the waiver wire and continue to make changes before team begins work on Monday.
Some mild surprises include veterans running back Julius Jones and safety Jordan Babineaux making the team, despite the money they will make as reserves. Seattle also kept safety Kevin Ellison, who was competing with Jamar Adams and Babineaux for a roster spot. Offensive tackle Ray Willis was placed on the injured reserve list, so he’s done for the season.
Also, as we reported earlier, T.J. Houshmandzadeh was released.
Here’s he full list.
Placed on Reserve / Injured: T Ray Willis
Waived: S Jamar Adams, CB Marcus Brown, C Jeff Byers, G Mitch Erickson, CB Cord Parks, LB Joe Pawelek, T Jacob Phillips, DT Quinn Pitcock, RB Louis Rankin, DE Rob Rose, T Joe Toledo, TE Nick Tow-Arnett.
