The Seahawks made a move on the eve of training camp by adding cornerback Brandon Johnson and releasing tight end Harrison Bryant.

On Tuesday, the Seattle Seahawks signed cornerback Brandon Johnson to their roster, bringing an undrafted rookie from last season into the mix. Johnson originally played for the Eagles in 2023 but saw limited action, spending most of his time on their practice squad. The move comes as the Seahawks aim to bolster their defensive backfield.

Meanwhile, Harrison Bryant has been released by the team. Bryant's previous stint with the Seahawks lasted only until April after he spent last season with the Houston Texans. Prior to that, he had previously played for the Philadelphia Eagles, Oakland Raiders, and Cleveland Browns.

Why the move?

The Seahawks are taking a step towards securing their roster before training camp begins on Saturday, while also making room for newer additions like Johnson. These changes reflect the continuous turnover in NFL teams as they prepare for the upcoming regular season.

Career Stats

Brandon Johnson's 2023 stint with the Eagles was brief but impactful. He played in three games and showed potential, something that could make him a valuable roster move for the Seahawks. His presence on field and practice squad experience may provide depth and coaching opportunities.

Next Steps

The Seahawks’ rookies have already begun training, while their veterans arrive by Friday to complete the team’s preparation for the new season. With these moves, Seattle aims to build a strong roster heading into the 2024 campaign.
