Offensive Line (10): Duane Brown, Mike Iupati, B.J. Finney, Phil Haynes, Joey Hunt, Jamarco Jones, Damien Lewis, Cedric Ogbuehi, Ethan Pocic, Brandon Shell
The first domino on the offensive line already fell, with the team releasing veteran guard D.J. Fluker on Sunday – and news of Justin Britt’s release came shortly thereafter.
Cutting the pair saves the Seahawks over $15 million in cap space, more than enough money to sign one of the big name defensive ends still on the market (more on that later).
It also only leaves Duane Brown and Mike Iupati as remaining starters from last year’s squad. I suspect B.J. Finney, rookie Damien Lewis, and Brandon Shell will take over at center, right guard and right tackle, respectively, giving the Seahawks a new-look o-line in 2020.
Jamarco Jones, Ethan Pocic, Phil Haynes and Joey Hunt reprise their roles as versatile backups, while newcomer Cedric Ogbuehi takes over the George Fant role as an extra tackle and occasional sixth lineman – a role he held early in his NFL career.
This will be one of the most competitive positions on the entire team in training camp, as this roster projection has them cutting Chance Warmack, Jordan Simmons Khalil McKenzie, Kyler Fuller, Chad Wheeler and Demetrius Knox.
