It’s the bye week for the Seattle Seahawks, meaning a relaxed weekend of football without the stress of “enjoying” a Seahawks game for Seattle fans.
However, even though the team is not on the field, the front office staff remains hard at work, especially with the trade deadline looming just over the horizon on Tuesday, November 4, after the conclusion of the Week 9 action.
With that in mind, the Seahawks on Friday made a move to fill the open spot created on the roster by the release Wednesday of
veteran tight end Eric Saubert by dipping into free agency and adding a veteran tight end to the 53-man roster.
So, it appears as though John Schneider decided to replace the recently departed Saubert by signing former Seahawks tight end Eric Saubert.
In addition to his stint with the Seahawks, Saubert has spent time with the Atlanta Falcons, Chicago Bears, Jacksonville Jaguars, Dallas Cowboys, Denver Broncos, Houston Texans and San Francisco 49ers.
The team also signed wide receiver Tyler Broden to the practice squad and released wide receiver Tyler Scott.
