Overview

  • The Seahawks waived undrafted DT Thor Griffith two days after signing him, clearing a roster spot ahead of Thursday’s practice.
  • Rookie DB Keydrain Calligan, who went undrafted in 2025 and was recently cut by the Texans, joined Seattle’s roster to fill the vacancy.
  • Calligan’s arrival underscores a shift in camp evaluations that prioritizes secondary depth over bolstering the interior defensive line.
  • Griffith, a 6-foot-2, 305-pound product of Harvard and Louisville, saw a brief tenure despite his pre-draft reputation as a powerful interior disruptor.
  • Seattle’s rapid in-camp moves reflect the high turnover of undrafted free agents as coaches adjust positional needs based on early performance assessments.
