The Seattle Seahawks are officially back on the field. Rookie minicamp kicked off this Friday and Saturday, marking the first on-field action of the 2026 league year. The team released its full roster, giving fans an early look at the next generation of talent.

This weekend, Seattle's eight draft picks and seven undrafted free agents will share the field with 53 additional minicamp invitees—all vying for a chance to earn a contract beyond these two days. It's a high-stakes environment where every rep counts, especially for the 44 tryout players who are chasing their NFL dreams with no guaranteed future.

Several returning players who haven't yet appeared in a regular-season game are also eligible to participate, including Maxen Hook, Jalan Gaines, Chris Paul Jr., Federico Maranges, Bubba Thomas, J.R. Singleton, Logan Brown, Ricky White III, and Montorie Foster Jr. Notably absent from that group is Tyrone Broden, who recently made a position switch to cornerback.

While history suggests only one or two tryout players might stick with the team long-term, this weekend represents a pivotal moment. For many, it's their last opportunity to prove they belong in the NFL. As head coach Mike Macdonald put it in his introductory press conference, "This is such a great time of year. This is really what kicks it all off."

For Seahawks fans, the energy is unmistakable. The rookie minicamp isn't just about evaluating new talent—it's the first glimpse of the team's future. Stay tuned as we break down the standout performances and what they mean for Seattle's roster building.
