The Seattle Seahawks have made some major moves this week, signing two new players and releasing two others from waivers. On Tuesday, the team signed defensive back Artie Burns and offensive lineman Jon Rhattigan to their roster. Both players have had successful careers in the NFL, and they will bring a lot of experience to the Seahawks.
Burns was originally drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the first round of the 2016 NFL Draft. He has played in 59 games over the course of his four-year career, recording five interceptions and one forced fumble. He was released by the Steelers in March of 2020, and he has been a free agent since then.
Rhattigan was originally drafted by the New York Jets in the seventh round of the 2017 NFL Draft. He has played in 37 games over the course of his three-year career, starting in 11 of those games. He was released by the Jets in August of 2020, and he has been a free agent since then.
The Seahawks are hoping that both Burns and Rhattigan can bring some much-needed depth to their roster. Burns is a veteran defensive back who can provide some stability in the secondary, while Rhattigan is an experienced offensive lineman who can help protect quarterback Russell Wilson.
At the same time, the Seahawks also released two players from waivers: defensive back Artie Burns and offensive lineman Jon Rhattigan. Both players had been with the team since the beginning of the 2020 season, but they were unable to make an impact on the field. The team decided to part ways with them in order to make room for their new signings.
The Seattle Seahawks have made some bold moves this week, and they are hoping that their new signings can help them make a deep playoff run this season. With Burns and Rhattigan on board, the team has added some much-needed depth and experience to their roster. Only time will tell if these moves will pay off for the Seahawks, but one thing is for sure: they are serious about making a run at the Super Bowl this year.
