Seahawks plan to include CB Ugo Amadi in initial 2022 roster cuts

The Seahawks and every other NFL team has until tomorrow afternoon to cut their offseason roster from 90 players down to 85.

According to a report by Brady Henderson at ESPN, Seattle intends to make cornerback Ugo Amadi one of those cuts.

This should come as no great surprise, since Amadi has often been the team’s weakest link in coverage over the last two seasons.

The addition of a couple new players further endangered Amadi’s chances of making the roster. First, the Seahawks re-signed veteran nickel corner Justin Coleman, who played the slot position better than anyone else has under head coach Pete Carroll from 2017-2018. The team also drafted two cornerbacks this year and in recent days Coby Bryant has been getting playing time in the slot.

It’s only been one preseason game, but the Seahawks probably wouldn’t be planning to cut Amadi unless they felt good about how Bryant has performed.

Update:

The team has abruptly changed course on Amadi. Instead of releasing him, Seattle is trading Amadi to the Eagles for wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside.
