It names 9 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. > If he doesn't get claimed, Rochelle is among several rookies the Seahawks should sign back to the practice squad. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Uso Seumalo to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Uso Seumalo, Seattle Seahawks - Verdict: not settled yet - **Emmanuel Henderson to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Emmanuel Henderson, Seattle Seahawks - Verdict: not settled yet - **Deven Eastern to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Deven Eastern, Seattle Seahawks - Verdict: not settled yet - **Marvin Jones to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Marvin Jones, Seattle Seahawks - Verdict: not settled yet - **Andre Fuller to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Andre Fuller, Seattle Seahawks - Verdict: not settled yet - **Rashad Rochelle to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Rashad Rochelle, Seattle Seahawks - Verdict: not settled yet - **Michael Dansby to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Michael Dansby, Seattle Seahawks - Verdict: not settled yet - **Aidan Hubbard to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Aidan Hubbard, Seattle Seahawks - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Uso Seumalo — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/uso-seumalo - Seattle Seahawks — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/seahawks - Emmanuel Henderson — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/emmanuel-henderson - Deven Eastern — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/deven-eastern - Marvin Jones — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/marvin-jones-0973 - Andre Fuller — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/andre-fuller - Rashad Rochelle — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/rashad-rochelle - Michael Dansby — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/michael-dansby - Aidan Hubbard — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/aidan-hubbard ## What others said about the same people - Tyler Sullivan on Drew Lock: In an unsigned Week 2 odds roundup, the piece states that with Sam Darnold hurt, Drew Lock will likely start at quarterback for Seattle against Arizona. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/8a14b5e6-066b-457f-b409-a3ddbd512aca (scored 0) - Michael Hanich on Bud Clark: Hanich suggests Nick Emmanwori may miss Week 1 after ankle surgery, and that Noah Igbinoghene is making a strong case to be the Seahawks' Week 1 starting nickel, with Bud Clark also possibly stepping into a starting role if Emmanwori is out. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/c15b8321-a10e-421f-8076-039ca96a05a8 (scored 0) - Richard Sherman on Seattle Seahawks: Sherman picked Seattle to beat New England 28-17 in the opener, ran through score picks for the rest of the week one slate (49ers, Cowboys, Bills, Bears, Vikings, Colts, Broncos), said the Seahawks would also beat the Cardinals, Commanders and Chargers, backed Dallas to win its division, and predicted Christian Gonzalez's deal would come in barely above Devon Witherspoon's. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/3b4f1960-4810-4136-8023-c9a76a0598a3 (scored 80.95) - Anthony “Tone Diggs” DiGuilio on Seattle Seahawks: Tone picked the Seahawks to beat the Patriots in the Thursday-night season opener, citing Seattle's returning front seven and offensive line snaps. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/c85c564c-b995-4810-8d49-be2b4bcf5aa6 (scored 100) - Ty Schmit on Seattle Seahawks: Ty Schmidt also leaned Seahawks over Patriots in the opener, pointing to Seattle returning 20 of 22 Super Bowl starters and a raucous banner night. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/bfea79f3-d61d-4907-92d4-a47bf15903bd (scored 100) - AJ Hawk on Seattle Seahawks: AJ Hawk picked the Seahawks to win the opener at home over the Patriots. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/e0bf9401-7f2f-48ed-8ac5-f8c9c6e82c4a (scored 100) ## More roster spot calls The same kind of call, about other players and teams. - John Shipley on Jack Kiser: Shipley projects a full 16-player (plus one international/exemption spot) Jaguars practice squad for 2026, naming specific players at each position he expects to land there. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/c0a52b7c-63b2-4e18-b7da-9342dbbc111f (scored 0) - Cody Rourke on Mitchell Fraboni: Rourke names the Ravens as the bounce-back team most likely to be dangerous in the AFC again, and says Houston's defense alone should carry the Texans into the postseason.
