Alright, the Seattle Seahawks dropped a bombshell with a move that has everyone in the Emerald City talking: they released veteran wide receiver Cody White. And get this, they didn’t even bother to keep him on the practice squad, which has been the norm for the past couple of seasons. It’s a somewhat surprising decision, especially considering Jake Bobo is sidelined for the entire year, which definitely opened up some spots on the depth chart. We really thought Cody might stick around, either on the active roster or back on our practice squad.
White Heads to the Raiders, Reunites with a Familiar Face
So, where’s Cody White heading next? He’s signed with the Las Vegas Raiders’ practice squad, which is a pretty interesting reunion for him. He’ll be back with his former Seahawks offensive coordinator, Klint Kubiak, who’s now the Raiders’ head coach. It’s not often you see the Raiders sniffing around former Seahawks players, but this isn’t their first move. Dareke Young, another guy who used to rock the green and blue, is already on their 53-man active roster. Looking at the Raiders’ receiver depth chart, it seems like Cody actually has a more viable path to getting elevated for game days, maybe even a full-on promotion to their active roster. It’s tough to see him go, but it sounds like he’s landed in a spot with real opportunity. White is also one of the first two Seahawks roster cuts, alongside Jared Ivey, confirmed to be heading elsewhere this season.
Foster’s Future is Looking Bright for the Hawks
This unexpected move with Cody White isn’t just about who’s leaving; it’s a huge signal about who’s stepping up for our Hawks. White was battling it out with Ricky White III, Montorie Foster Jr, and Emmanuel Henderson Jr. for those coveted bottom-end spots on Seattle’s wide receiver depth chart. The fact that Cody got cut and wasn’t even kept on the practice squad is a massive, strong endorsement for the rise of Montorie Foster Jr. The kid seriously separated himself from Ricky White and Henderson throughout camp and the preseason, making a real case for himself. With Jake Bobo out for the year, the spotlight is bright on these young guys. This is Foster’s time to shine for Sam Darnold and the offense. We’ll always remember Cody White, especially for that ring he got with us, and who can forget Sam Darnold slinging those four touchdown passes in the first half against Washington back on November 3, 2025? That kind of offensive firepower is what we want to see from our current group!
Moving forward, the focus shifts to how Montorie Foster Jr. seizes this opportunity. This early-season shake-up means more snaps and more chances for our emerging talent. Keep your eyes on Foster, because the coaches clearly believe he’s ready to explode. Go Hawks!
