Fans may hate his $1.7M cap number, but the odds of Bellore going anywhere other than onto the field for Larry Izzo’s special teams groups seem very long. Bellore has been on the field for 560 special teams snaps for the Seahawks since his arrival prior to the 2019 season, and that is where the focus should be for fans, rather than on his 64 offensive snaps. Here’s what I wrote about Bellore in May:įans keep calling for Bellore’s head, and Bellore and the team simply laugh at their naivete. Bellore’s the only fullback on the roster. Simply put, Homer is the third down back because he’s one of, if not the, best pass blocking running backs in the NFL, and that likely all but secures him a roster spot even after having missed most of training camp. If you can’t protect, I am not going to put you back there. Many may want to get rid of Homer and give his roster spot to Collins, but that ignores what running back coach Chad Morton had to say in a recent interview with Mike Dugar of The Athletic. Keep: Chris Carson, Travis Homer, DeeJay Dallas and Rashaad PennyĬarson and Homer have yet to see the field during the preseason, while Dallas has potentially been the highlight of the team through the first two fake games. Mannion won’t be exposed to waivers after being cut, and likely takes up one of the spots on the practice squad for experienced players while holding down his role as the emergency quarterback. By Tuesday, August 31 at 4 PM New York Time the team must be down to 53 players, and here’s a final attempt at guessing what that might look like. Less than three weeks remain until the Seattle Seahawks take on the Indianapolis Colts in Week 1 of the 2021 NFL season, and while the Hawks trimmed the roster from 85 to 80 players Monday, one round of cuts remains.
