Seahawks add another DT to roster at the end of rookie minicamp

According to a report by Aaron Wilson, Seattle signed Troy defensive tackle Buddha Jones at the end of minicamp.

On Friday the Seahawks announced that they had signed 16 undrafted free agents. That put the roster at 89 players going into rookie minicamp, leaving one spot open. Apparently they have already found somebody to fill it.

According to a report by Aaron Wilson, Seattle signed Troy defensive tackle Buddha Jones at the end of minicamp.

Jones (6-foot-3, 281 pounds) played one season at Kent State before transferring to Troy in 2021. Over the last two years there he totaled 6.5 tackles for a loss, two pass breakups and three fumbles recovered. He also scored one defensive touchdown.

To start out, Jones should probably considered the last man at the bottom of the interior defensive line depth chart.

Here’s 44 minutes of Jones you didn’t know you needed.

Seahawks invite another quarterback to 2024 rookie minicamp

According to Mike Garafolo at NFL Network, former Maryland quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa will also be participating in rookie minicamp.

Ten days ago former Ohio State and Gannon quarterback Kory Curtis broke the news that he had been invited to the Seattle Seahawks’ 2024 rookie minicamp, which will take place this coming weekend.

Last night we learned of another rookie quarterback who scored an invite. According to Mike Garafolo at NFL Network, former Maryland quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa will also be participating in rookie minicamp.

Tagovailoa (5-foot-11, 205 pounds) is the younger brother of Dolphins starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. He has some of the same traits that have made Tua a top-10 starter at this level, including mobility and a big arm.

After one season as a backup at Alabama he transferred to Maryland, where he eventually became the starter. All together Tagovailoa appeared in 45 college games, totaling over 11,000 passing yards, 77 touchdowns and 37 interceptions for a 146.1 rating. Tagovailoa added another 205 yards and 13 touchdowns as a rusher.

Tagovailoa has some real ability, but it’s tough for players who weren’t signed outright as undrafted free agents to land with a team.
