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.

Other notable veteran players released include offensive lineman Will Pericak, running back Alex Collins, wide receiver Kenny Lawler, defensive lineman Quinton Jefferson, offensive lineman Joey Hunt, and defensive tackle Ahtyba Rubin. The Seahawks also released 2017 NFL Draft pick wide receiver David Moore.
