Luke Floriea Gets Seahawks Tryout After Browns Cut

Seattle will evaluate the undrafted preseason standout to help shore up a thin receiver group after recent roster losses.

Overview

  • The tryout was reported this week by ESPN reporter Jeremy Fowler, who said the Seahawks have scheduled a workout for free agent wide receiver Luke Floriea.
  • Cleveland released Floriea in final roster cuts and did not add him to its practice squad, leaving the 2025 undrafted signing a free agent.
  • Floriea earned attention in the preseason with five catches for 60 yards and three touchdowns, performances that made him a fan favorite despite his small size.
  • Seattle’s interest comes as the team faces receiver turnover, including season-ending injury to Jake Bobo and the departure of Cody White, while the Seahawks currently have three receivers on their practice squad.
  • The move highlights how NFL roster math and practice-squad rules force teams to weigh special-teams value, size and waiver risk when deciding whether to stash camp standouts and why tryouts serve as low-cost ways to add immediate depth.
