Cornerback Trevon Diggs’ time with the Seahawks was unbelievably short, ending just days after he signed with the team on August 19. He was part of the final roster cuts on Sunday, a swift exit that nobody really saw coming, despite his appearance in the preseason finale.
Diggs Cut After Just 11 Days, Career On The Brink
It feels like yesterday we were talking about Diggs coming to the Emerald City, but his stint here lasted only 11 days. He managed to snag an interception and make a tackle in the preseason finale, showing flashes, but it clearly wasn’t enough to secure a spot on the 53-man roster. What a gut punch. It’s a tough break for a guy whose career has been plagued by injuries, undergoing three knee procedures in the past three seasons and playing only 22 games. Honestly, with three teams cutting him since December 30, you have to wonder if this is it for him. It’s a frustrating reminder of how brutal this league can be.
Charbonnet Hits PUP List, But His Return Is A Bright Spot
While Diggs’ release stings, the other big roster move of the day felt expected: running back Zach Charbonnet is officially on reserve/PUP. We all knew this was coming after he injured his knee on just his fifth carry during the 2025 playoffs’ divisional round. That’s a brutal memory for the 12s, especially after the beast of a season he had! Charbonnet absolutely balled out in 2025, running for 730 yards and a whopping 12 touchdowns on 184 carries in the regular season. We’re all counting down the days until he’s healthy and back on Lumen Field, making defenses look silly again. His return will be huge.
Roster Shuffle Means Business
Beyond Diggs and Charbonnet, the team also terminated contracts for a slew of vested veterans, including S D’Anthony Bell, T Bobby Hart, CB Noah Igbinoghene, RB Velus Jones Jr., S Rodney Thomas II, TE Nick Vannett, and WR Cody White. Plus, they waived a bunch of other guys. It’s a brutal day for many, but it’s all part of getting the best 53 players ready for the grind of the regular season. Now, the squad is set, and it’s time to focus on what’s ahead. We’re heading into the season with some real talent, and the hope is that these tough decisions mean we’re ready to make some noise.
