Seahawks Sign 15 To Futures Deals
With their championship parade in the rearview, the Super Bowl-winning Seahawks handled their reserve/futures contracts Thursday. Here are the 15 players joining Seattle’s offseason roster:
- RB Cam Akers
- WR Tyrone Broden
- T Logan Brown
- WR Montorie Foster
- CB Tyler Hall
- S Maxen Hook
- RB Velus Jones
- C Federico Maranges
- LB Chris Paul Jr.
- LB Jamie Sheriff
- NT J.R. Singleton
- NT Bubba Thomas
- LB Ja’Markis Weston
- WR Ricky White
- RB Jacardia Wright
Akers saw action in three Seahawks regular-season games and was part of the No. 1-seeded team’s NFC championship game win over the Rams, who drafted the running back in 2020. The twice-traded back caught on with Seattle’s active roster in late November but also spent time on the practice squad, hence the futures contract. The Seahawks are the sixth-year veteran’s fifth NFL team.
A converted wide receiver used primarily on special teams, Jones handled six carries in the Seahawks’ divisional-round blowout win over the 49ers. The former Bears draftee played in five Saints games before catching on with the Seahawks this season. He will join Akers as RBs on Seattle’s offseason roster, as the team has Kenneth Walker unsigned and Zach Charbonnet rehabbing an ACL tear.
Hall joins Akers in being a six-year veteran. The Jets used an injury activation on Weston — a 2025 UDFA — last season but later waived him. The rookie linebacker did not see any action with the Seahawks but will continue to develop in the Pacific Northwest.

The Steelers added a notable wide receiver to their taxi squad in Isaiah Hodgins. The wideout bounced between the Giants practice squad and active roster in 2024, but he’s not far removed from a stretch between 2022 and 2023 when he hauled in 58 catches for 622 yards and seven touchdowns. He’ll be joining a group of practice squad WRs that includes Rakim Jarrett and rookie Ke’Shawn Williams.
Speaking of the Giants, they added a veteran linebacker in Neville Hewitt. The 32-year-old has appeared in 146 games in time with the Dolphins, Jets, and Texans. His best season came with New York in 2020, when he compiled 134 tackles and a pair of sacks. He mostly saw a special teams role while in Houston, but he rebounded in 2024, tallying 59 tackles and a pair of forced fumbles in 17 games (four starts).

Ismail was one of 17 players to work out for the Giants on Thursday, per The Athletic’s Dan Duggan. He won the practice squad spot over more notable players like former Broncos safety Caden Sterns and former Browns quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson. Canadian quarterback Taylor Elgersma also attended the workout, per Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post, suggesting that the Giants might be looking for extra depth at the position.
Wallace worked out for the Vikings on Thursday, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler. It must have gone well, as he was signed to the practice squad hours later as extra depth both in the secondary and on special teams.
Griffin returned to the Seahawks this offseason, eight years after they made him a third-round pick in the 2017 draft. He did not make Seattle’s 53-man roster, but as a vested veteran, he was able to re-sign to the practice squad without going through waivers.
Vikings Announce 10 Cuts To Open Roster Trimming
It’s been a busy day for the Minnesota front office. Amidst the chaos, the team announced the release of one veteran and waived 9 other players:
Released:
- OLB Cam Gill
Waived:
- OL Zack Bailey
- DT Travis Bell
- WR Silas Bolden
- T Logan Brown
- CB Keenan Garber
- WR Robert Lewis
- S Mishael Powell
- CB Reddy Steward
- RB Tre Stewart
Most of the focus in Minnesota will be on the quarterback shuffling that took place earlier in the day that saw Sam Howell and Brett Rypien depart the building as Carson Wentz was signed to back up a debuting J.J. McCarthy with undrafted standout Max Brosmer stepping into the QB3 role.
Aside from all of that action, there’s not much surprise in the announced cuts above. While Gill has earned extended looks with a couple teams, Bailey, Bell, and Steward have played minimal roles during their short NFL tenures. The remaining six players waived were all members of the Vikings’ 19-man undrafted free agent class. Several others from that class can be expected to join these six on the waiver wire before Tuesday.
