Montorie Foster Jr. Returns to Seahawks Camp After Substitute-Teacher Break

Practice-squad work with offseason jobs puts him in a direct fight for a 53-man roster spot.

Overview

  • Foster is back in Seattle’s training camp in early August 2026 under a reserve/futures deal as he competes for one of the limited receiver spots on the 53-man roster.
  • The Seahawks waived Foster with an injury designation on Aug. 6, 2025 after a hamstring problem, which sent him home to Cleveland and began an 18-week stretch away from the NFL.
  • During that 18-week gap he trained daily at St. Edward High School, worked as a substitute teacher at his old school, and earned a real-estate license while keeping his NFL goal alive.
  • Seattle signed him to the practice squad on Dec. 30, 2025, he did not appear in games but helped prepare the starters during the postseason and finished the year with a Super Bowl ring and about $13,000 in reported 2025 cash earnings.
  • Foster’s 2026 contract carries an $885,000 base but no roster guarantee, and he must leap players such as Cody White and Ricky White III to convert his practice-squad development into a long-term NFL job.
