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.

- Signed from practice squad: CB Kemon Hall
- Elevated: TE Cole Turner
- Placed on IR: CB Jalyn Armour-Davis (story), WR Van Jefferson
Washington Commanders
- Elevated: DT Ricky Barber, WR River Cracraft
The Browns made it known yesterday that they were shutting down Schwesinger and tight ends David Njoku and Harold Fannin Jr. for the final week of the season, but the Defensive Rookie of the Year-favorite is the only one to land on IR.
In Dallas, Williams failed to practice this week as he dealt with shoulder and neck issues. With Davis also being placed on IR, the Cowboys will rely on rookie fifth-rounder Jaydon Blue and the recently activated Mafah, a seventh-round rookie, in Week 18. The team used their eighth and final IR activation to bring Mafah back for a potential NFL debut.
Because Green Bay didn’t elevate recently signed practice squad quarterback Desmond Ridder, it appears either Malik Willis will be healthy enough to back up Clayton Tune or Jordan Love will serve as the potential QB2 for the Packers in Week 18.
Judon is set to make his Bills debut in the team’s regular season finale after signing to their practice squad two weeks ago.
With Saints backup quarterback Spencer Rattler not practicing this week with a finger injury, Haener gets the call to back up rookie Tyler Shough.
Hall in Tennessee had already been called up as a standard gameday practice squad elevation three times this season. In order for him to appear in the Titans’ regular season finale, the move to the 53-man roster was necessary.

- Signed: LB Nick Jackson
Tennessee Titans

- Released: WR Kristian Wilkerson
After getting waived by the Bills in November, Cameron Johnston caught on with the Giants as insurance for Jamie Gillan. Johnston ended up getting into one game for his new squad, punting four times for 22.8 net yards per punt. The team held on to the veteran to make sure Gillan made it through his return unscathed. Apparently everything checked out, and the Giants will proceed with just one punter in their organization for the rest of the season.

Seattle Seahawks
- Signed: S D’Anthony Bell
- Released: CB Tyler Hall
Martinez parted ways with San Francisco a week ago and signed with the Jets, who elevated him on Sunday to back up undrafted rookie quarterback Brady Cook. New York released him from their taxi squad yesterday, so Martinez has found his way back to the Bay Area.
NFL Practice Squad Updates: 11/14/25
Here are Friday’s practice squad transactions:
Philadelphia Eagles
- Signed: CB Ambry Thomas
- Released: DE Titus Leo
Pittsburgh Steelers
- Signed: RB Trey Sermon
Seattle Seahawks
- Signed: CB Tyler Hall
- Placed on practice squad/injured list: WR Tyrone Broden
A day after releasing Thomas to make room for Leo on the taxi squad, the Eagles have made the opposite transactions, bringing back Thomas while letting go of Leo. Sermon was waived to make room for sixth-round rookie quarterback Will Howard to come off of injured reserve, but he’ll stick around on the Steelers’ practice squad.

Placed on IR (designated for return):
Christian Haynes should eventually return to the active roster once he’s fully recovered from a pec injury. The 2024 third-round pick got into 16 games with Seattle as a rookie, appearing in 167 offensive snaps and 67 special teams snaps. Despite his early-season absence, the team still moved on from a handful of notable linemen. This includes Sataoa Laumea, who started all six of his appearances with the Seahawks last year.
The Seahawks moved on from a handful of veterans today, including a pair of cornerbacks. Shemar Jean-Charles has appeared in 37 career games, including nine (two starts) with the Saints in 2024. The former fifth-round pick has compiled 29 tackles and one interception. Seattle also moved on from Tyler Hall via an injury settlement. The cornerback started six of his 18 appearances for the Raiders over the past two years.
