Seattle Seahawks waive defensive tackle Cameron Young before NFL Draft

The Seattle Seahawks have waived nose tackle Cameron Young, a 2023 fourth-round pick, ahead of the NFL Draft, opening a spot on their 90-man roster. Young played in 16 games as a rookie but was sidelined by a knee injury for most of last season, appearing in only one game. His release highlights Seattle's lack of depth on the defensive line, with only a few core players remaining and several rotational contributors departing or unsigned. The Seahawks now have multiple roster spots available and are expected to address both their defensive and offensive line needs in the upcoming draft, where they hold ten picks. The move is considered surprising given Young's potential, but injuries limited his impact and availability. Seattle is positioning itself for another playoff push by making aggressive changes this offseason, including key player transactions and a renewed focus on bolstering the trenches.
