There is no such thing as adding too many players to give them an opportunity. The Seattle Seahawks made two roster moves today. First, they signed Ohio University defensive tackle Rodney Mathews, who was released by the Green Bay Packers in early May.

The next thing they did was sign running back Kairee Robinson out of San Jose State. Robinson will now be added to the mix to build depth behind Kenneth Walker III and Zach Charbonnet, competing directly with Kenny McIntosh and George Holani.

Robinson was a beast for the Spartans during his five year collegiate career. Last season was his best, as he plowed forward with 1,194 yards and an astonishing 18 touchdowns. It really speaks to the quality of talent out there in college football where a young man such as himself could go undrafted.

It will be a challenge for him to make the final roster, given how deep the Seahawks already are at running back. However, all it takes sometimes for players is to get a shot. Now, Robinson has his.

The Seattle Seahawks remain active during training camp. Easily the biggest weakness last year for Seattle was their abysmal run defense. Acquiring Leonard Williams via trade last year and selecting Byron Murphy II No. 16 overall in the 2024 NFL draft will surely help the Seahawks, but there is always room for improvement.

Seattle has now added another piece to compete for a roster spot to help boost this ailing defensive line. They have signed defensive tackle Rodney Mathews.

Mathews went undrafted out of Ohio University, and was signed by the Green Bay Packers. However, the Packers released him in early May.

During his career with the Bobcats, he played in 41 games, recorded 43 total tackles, three sacks and even snagge himself an interception.

Now, Mathews has his second shot at breaking into the League with the Seahawks. At this stage in the offseason and preseason, players are auditioning not only for the team they are currently employed by, but for others who may keep an eye on those around the league.

Given Seahawks general manager John Schneider’s connections with the Packers, it is not surprising he swooped in to pick up someone who was cast aside by Green Bay.
