Seahawks won’t announce personnel moves until contracts are signed

At the request of the NFL Management Council, the Seattle Seahawks won’t be announcing personnel moves until after the contracts are signed.

The Seattle Seahawks are complying with the memo the NFL Management Council sent out to all teams in regards to the handling of contract announcements in light of the coronavirus outbreak across the nation.

Clubs were asked to refrain from announcing personnel moves until physicals could be completed and contracts actually signed. Other teams around the league have attempted to get around the mandate by issuing “reports,” instead.

The Seahawks issued a statement Tuesday afternoon announcing they would be complying with the league’s request.

But just because the Seahawks won’t be making any formal announcements at this time doesn’t mean the team hasn’t been busy on the official first day of 2020 free agency. Agents and reporters are still breaking news about players who have agreed to terms with Seattle and other related team moves.
