Seahawks make Bryan Mone extension official, waive Pier-Olivier Lestage

The Seattle Seahawks have formally announced signing DT Bryan Mone to a contract extension and the waiver of G Pier-Olivier Lestage.

The Seattle Seahawks have now formally announced the team has signed defensive tackle Bryan Mone to a contract extension. The agreement to the terms of the two-year deal had first been reported earlier this week.

Seattle also made a roster move on Wednesday, waiving guard Pier-Olivier Lestage. Lestage had originally signed with the Seahawks as an undrafted free agent last year and spent the season on the practice squad.

After the waiver of defensive end Alex Tchangam last week, the Seahawks now have two open roster spots on their 90-man squad.

Seahawks free up one roster spot heading into their summer break

Seattle released defensive end Alex Tchangam. That frees up one spot on the 90-man roster.

The Seahawks held their final OTA practice on Wednesday, which means their offseason is officially over. The next time the team gets together in an official capacity it will be at the start of training camp, which usually begins the last week of July.

Before they broke for the summer, the team made one last roster move. Per Brady Henderson at ESPN, Seattle released defensive end Alex Tchangam. That frees up one spot on the 90-man roster.

Odds are the Seahawks don’t have any one particular player in mind to fill that spot and they’re keeping it open in case somebody they like becomes available.

The last interesting free agent the team had in for an official visit was former Bengals and Vikings safety George Iloka, who apparently worked out with an eye on a “coverage linebacker” spot. It’s possible he’s the guy they have their eye on.

It’s also possible the idea is to play wait-and-see on two quarterbacks who might still get moved before the 2022 season begins: Jimmy Garoppolo of the 49ers and Baker Mayfield of the Browns. The latest reporting suggests that Mayfield will get traded to the Panthers, even if the most isn’t imminent. However, if that doesn’t happen and Cleveland releases Mayfield then Seattle should be interested. The same goes for Garoppolo if San Francisco cuts him.

Seahawks: Updated practice squad going into Week 11

Here’s the updated practice squad going into Week 11.

The Seattle Seahawks made a few practice squad changes this week.

On Monday, quarterback Jake Luton was waived. He had been serving as the team’s third-string QB for most of the season. That role has since been taken by Jacob Eason, who’s on the active 53-man roster and behind Geno Smith on the depth chart. Seattle also signed tight end Tyler Mabry to the practice squad. He’d been released last week. On Tuesday, they made a couple more moves. Defensive end Alex Tchangam was released, while outside linebacker Edmond Robinson was signed. Here’s the updated practice squad going into Week 11.
