Seahawks' New Faces Threaten Veterans' Jobs

On April 26, Seattle Seahawks just loaded up with eight fresh faces in the NFL draft, turning

their roster into a whole new squad overnight.

Every team gets that clean-slade vibe in late April, but for Seattle it means real pressure

on some holdovers from last year.

General manager John Schneider flipped just four picks into this hall through smart trades,

keeping the salary cap in check without losing any big stars.

That rebirth hits different for veterans on the bubble.

As like running back Kenny McIntosh, who tore his ACL last off-season and missed the

whole year now faced a crowded backfield, Seattle signed Emmanuel Wilson in free agency

and dropped their first round pick on Notre Dame's Jadarian price to replace Kenneth

Walker, locking in a deep group with Zach Sharbanay and others.

Why receiver Ricky White III stuck on the practice squad last year with his special teams

chops, but the trade for Rashid Shaheed and 6th round pick, Emmanuel Henderson Jr.

Signed no more competition for those gadget roles.

Meanwhile, Guard Christian Haynes, a third rounder from 2024, couldn't snag the starting

spot from Anthony Bradford or even Tri-Center, and now younger prospects like the Stevens

pick are gunning for his backup gig.

Fans are buzzing about this cutthroat summer battle where every rookie who shines

means someone's packing bags.

These three McIntosh, White and Haynes got to prove their worth and camp or risk getting

squeezed out by the new blood.

Keep an eye on training, Cam.

It'll show who rises and who fades in Seattle's revamp lineup, setting the tone for defense

for a squad ready to roll.
