The and every other team around the NFL have to submit their initial 53-man rosters for the 2024 season to the league office by next Tuesday at 1:00 p.m. Pacific time. That means after Saturday's preseason game against the Cleveland Browns, general manager John Schneider and will be hard at work shaping their team for the regular season ahead of the deadline.Every year there are some , and this one will be no exception. Here are three players who might end up getting cut for Seattle next week.WR Dareke YoungDareke Young has a superb athletic profile and a lot of potential. However, it's tough sledding in the wide receiver room for the Seattle Seahawks, who are as in the  Jordan Clarkson Jersey league at this spot. Macdonald might do things differently, bu historically they have rostered six receivers during the regular season.With DK Metcalf, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Tyler Lockett and Jake Bobo going nowhere, that leaves two spots for the rest of them to fight over. While Young has played well during the preseason, he has been outshined by both Laviksa Shenault Jr. and Easop Winston Jr., which means Young could be looking for a new home by this time next week.QB P.J. WalkerWhile this wouldn't exactly come as a shock, NFL teams are now allowed to carry three quarterbacks on their game day rosters without one of them counting for a roster spot. So, they have an incentive to keep a third option .Unfortunately, Walker has performed poorly during the preseason, earning the third-lowest offensive grade on the team according to Pro Football Focus. That and the team recently indicates they are considering other options for that third-string spot at quarterback.CB D.J. JamesIt's rare for draft picks to get cut in their first offseason in the league, but it's not unheard of. That's bad news for rookie corner D.J. James, who has proven the team's weakest link on defense so far through two preseason games.James has struggled with tackling, had i sues in coverage and has also drawn too many penalties. He has the on the team right now, per PFF. Combined with undrafted rookie Dee Williams' star rising, it might be enough to push James off the initial 53-man roster.  Elijah Hughes Jersey
