Headlining the list are three players who made on-field contributions for the Seahawks during the regular season: safety Ty Okada, defensive tackle Quinton Bohanna, and linebacker Jamie Sheriff.

Also on the list is linebacker Tyreke Smith, a fifth-round NFL Draft pick by Seattle in 2022 out of Ohio State who returned to the franchise this year after spending time with the Arizona Cardinals in 2023.

The 25-year-old Okada is a 5-foot-11, 193-pound Montana State product who appeared in four games this season, seeing 33 snaps on defense and 23 snaps on special teams. He also played in five games for the Seahawks in 2023 exclusively on special teams.

Sheriff appeared in two games total in 2024 – one each with the Seahawks and Carolina Panthers.

Bohanna appeared in one game this season for Seattle. He has played in 34 career games since 2021 with four separate teams.
