The Seahawks traded one quarterback over the weekend and they waived another one on Tuesday.
They announced that Jaren Hall has been dropped from the roster. Hall was a 2023 fifth-round pick by the Vikings and he signed with the Seahawks' practice squad after being cut in Minnesota last year. He spent some time on the active roster, but saw no game action.
Hall made two starts as a rookie and went 13-of-20 for 168 yards and an interception.
Sam Howell was traded to Hall's original team during the draft after third-round pick Jalen Milroe joined Sam Darnold and Drew Lock on the Seattle roster.
The Seahawks also waived linebacker Michael Dowell, center Michael Novitsky, and linebacker Kenneth Odumegwu.
2025 NFL betting, odds, lines: Ashton Jeanty, Cam Ward favored to win NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year
The 2025 NFL Draft is in the rearview mirror, and there are plenty of exciting players coming into the league who are ready to make a splash with their new teams.
Sportsbooks have already released odds for the 2025-26 AP Offensive Rookie of the Year, and Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty and Tennessee Titans quarterback Cam Ward are +250 co-favorites at BetMGM.
Several other sportsbooks have Jeanty as a slight favorite ahead of Ward.
Two-way star and Heisman trophy winner Travis Hunter — the No. 2 overall pick of the Jacksonville Jaguars — has the third-best OROY odds at sportsbooks at +550 at BetMGM.
No other player has better than 10-1 odds to win OROY.
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Tet McMillian (13-1) and Los Angeles Chargers RB Omarion Hampton (15-1) have the next-best odds at BetMGM, followed by New Orleans Saints QB Tyler Shough, Cleveland Browns RB Quinshon Judkins and New England Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson at 20-1, and Packers WR Matthew Golden at 22-1.
Browns QB Shedeur Sanders — a projected first-round talent who fell all the way to pick No. 144 in the fifth round — has 25-1 odds. New York Giants QB Jaxson Dart also has 25-1 odds to win the award, although both QBs have several veterans they'll need to unseat for playing time.
Hunter also has the second-best odds (+750) to win the AP Defensive Rookie of the Year at BetMGM, with New York Giants defensive end Abdul Carter the favorite at +250 odds. Atlanta Falcons DE Jalon Walker (+900), San Francisco 49ers DE Mykel Williams (10-1) and Baltimore Ravens DE Mike Green (12-1) have the next-best odds.
A quarterback has won the OROY award the past two years (Jayden Daniels in 2024 and C.J. Stroud in 2023), while a wide receiver won it the two years before that (Garrett Wilson in 2022 and Ja'Marr Chase in 2021). A QB has won the award in eight of the past 15 seasons.
No offensive lineman or tight end has ever won the award.

The Washington Commanders are making moves at the kicker position by swapping Zane Gonzalez out for Matt Gay.
On Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reported that Washington is signing Gay to a one-year contract and releasing Gonzalez.
According to Pelissero, Gay heads to D.C. for a deal worth over $4.25 million guaranteed, which holds the most fully guaranteed money in a one-year contract for a kicker in NFL history.
Gay can earn up to $5 million in incentives, per Pelissero.
The 31-year-old was recently released by the Indianapolis Colts, whom he played with for the last two seasons. In Indy, Gay connected on 82.1 percent of his field goals in 33 games.
Throughout his career, Gay made 85.5 percent of his attempts across 87 games for the Buccaneers, Rams and Colts. The University of Utah product was drafted by Tampa Bay in the fifth round of the 2019 NFL Draft.
Gonzalez, 29, was 31-for-37 in field goal attempts in 2024. Despite six misses from at least 50 yards out, Gonzales made all 33 extra points for Washington.
The seventh-round pick from 2017 leaves the U.S. Capitol after just one season and nine appearances for the Commanders. After getting drafted by the Browns, Gonzalez stayed in Cleveland for two seasons before three seasons in Arizona and one in Carolina.
Gonzalez made 7-of-8 field goals as Washington marched into the NFL playoffs, a run that included an upset over the highly favored Detroit Lions. He contributed 29 postseason points before the team fell to the eventual Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles.
