The Seahawks announced their 53-man roster Saturday afternoon.
One of the biggest surprises was the team’s decision to waive wide receiver Kasen Williams, who was one of the biggest standouts in training camp and in the preseason games. Another surprise was at backup quarterback, where second-year player Trevone Boykin was waived in favor of Austin Davis.
We've made the following roster moves, setting our roster at 53.
