The Seattle Seahawks made a pair of transactions on Wednesday morning ahead of joint practices with the Tennessee Titans (which will continue on Thursday). General manager John Schneider added undrafted linebacker Easton Gibbs to the 90-man roster. It represents a reunion after Gibbs initially joined the Seahawks as an UDFA in May before being waived later in the summer.

Gibbs played college football at Wyoming. He was an experienced defender, having started 39 career games for the Cowboys. Gibbs was a big-time playmaker on defense, totaling 362 tackles and earning First-Team All-Mountain West Conference honors in 2022 and 2023. He'll provide depth at off-ball linebacker behind Jerome Baker, Tyrel Dodson, Tyrice Knight, and Jon Rhattigan. His signing is timely with both Baker and Rhattigan being sidelined from practice with injury.

In a corresponding move, defensive lineman Nathan Pickering was waived/injured to make room for Gibbs the 90-man roster. Pickering initially joined the Seahawks after a strong tryout performance at rookie minicamp. He played college football at Mississippi State, primarily playing the 3-tech and nose tackle positions.
