Sunday NFL Transactions: NFC West
Listed below are the Sunday roster moves for the four NFC West teams. Following the 53-man roster cutdown deadline yesterday, many teams will make slight tweaks to their rosters, claiming players off waivers or signing guys who clear waivers. Those transactions for the Cardinals, Rams, 49ers, and Seahawks are noted below.
Additionally, as of 12:00pm CT today, teams can begin constructing their 10-man practice squads. You can check out our glossary entry on practice squads to brush up on those changes, as well as all the other guidelines that govern the 10-man units, whose players practice with the team but aren’t eligible to suit up on Sundays.
Here are Sunday’s NFC West transactions, which will continue to be updated throughout the day:

Seahawks Now At 53
The Seahawks made some moves to get down to 53, including the release of last year’s backup quarterback. Here’s the full rundown:
Waived:
- QB Trevone Boykin
- T Darrell Brown
- LB Rodney Butler
- RB Alex Collins
- RB Mike Davis
- CB Pierre Desir
- WR Cyril Grayson
- DT Tylor Harris
- C Joey Hunt
- DT Quinton Jefferson
- WR Kenny Lawler
- DT Jeremy Liggins
- DT Greg Milhouse
- WR David Moore
- LB Kache Palacio
- C/G Will Pericak
- LB Otha Peters
- WR Darreus Rogers
- DT Garrison Smith
- WR Rodney Smith
- TE Tyrone Swoopes
- T Tyrus Thompson
- CB Mike Tyson
Waived/Injured:
- LB Christian French
- CB Demetrius McCray
- DT Rodney Coe
- WR Kasen Williams
Released:
- LB Mike Morgan
- FB Marcel Reece
Boykin has lost the backup QB job to Austin Davis and that’s not a huge surprise after Davis’ performance in the preseason. Coach Pete Carroll indicated recently that he would have liked to keep three signal callers, but it just wasn’t realistic.
“It’s a good idea if you can do it,” Carroll said. “They’re so important. It just depends on the rest of the roster.”
Seahawks Sign Four Draft Picks, 13 UDFAs
The Seahawks are the latest NFL team to announce a series of draft pick signings and undrafted free agent additions, indicating in a press release that nine of their 10 draftees have been locked up, and 13 rookie free agents have joined the roster.
We heard earlier today that first-round offensive lineman Germain Ifedi had agreed to terms with his new club, and the Seahawks had also secured second-round defensive tackle Jarran Reed, third-round tight end Nick Vannett, third-round offensive lineman Rees Odhiambo, and fifth-round running back Alex Collins at that point. Seattle has since signed the following four draft picks as well, leaving only seventh-round running back Zac Brooks unsigned:
- 3-90: C.J. Prosise, RB (Notre Dame)
- 5-147: Quinton Jefferson, DT (Maryland)
- 6-215: Joey Hunt, C (TCU)
- 7-243: Kenny Lawler, WR (California)
To supplement their draft class, the Seahawks have signed the following 13 UDFAs:
- QB Trevone Boykin (TCU) ($15K signing bonus, per Aaron Wilson)
- FB/DT Brandin Bryant (Florida Atlantic)
- CB DeAndre Elliott (Colorado State)
- T George Fant (Western Kentucky)
- DE Christian French (Oregon)
- DT Lars Koht (Florida International) ($2K bonus, per Wilson)
- LB Steve Longa (Rutgers)
- RB Tre Madden (USC)
- T Lene Maiava (Arizona)
- WR Tanner McEvoy (Wisconsin)
- DE Montese Overton (East Carolina)
- DE David Perkins (Illinois State)
- SS Tyvis Powell (Ohio State)
