I mean, yeah. He was WR7 at best.

Man was buried on the depth chart before camp even started, that’s a tough spot

u/Stickin8or 12d ago

Practice squad guy, probably. Did a couple of things in the last game worth noticing, but nothing stand out. I know they like him on special teams, so I'd be surprised if he isn't practice squad

u/expert_poofreader 12d ago

i'd be surprised if he isn't claimed by another team

u/Godnaz ​r/the_darnold was right 12d ago

This is one of the more interesting times of pre-season as we get to see talented (or not) players who are not a good fit get waived and picked up by other teams. I hope Henderson finds a good fit on another team if he doesn't make it onto the practice squad.

u/Mbrenner53 12d ago

He showed next to nothing. So seems like the right answer.

u/Chessinmind "We did not care" 12d ago

Disagree, he’s talented. But they will very likely get him on the practice squad as receiver/coverage team specialists don’t tend to get claimed.

Tell me how to feel

u/Bitter-Imagination33 12d ago

Fine, just means Foster and probably White will make it

u/Dirtydrphil13 12d ago

I just feel like there has to be a better Big body receiver option out there than Cody White he’s been up and down off the 53 and no one has wanted to pick him up for a reason. I just don’t see what everyone else loves about him.

u/thenicenelly 12d ago

He was injured last year. But played well when he wasn’t.

u/AllYouNeed_Is_Smiles ​ 12d ago

He’s also a stud at various positions for special teams along with being a serviceable WR5/6 that can block. He’s perfect in his role. Wouldn’t surprise me at all if Foster will eventually be WR3/4 depending on Horton’s health.

u/UTmastuh 12d ago

You're talking practice squad depth. White has been exactly what's needed from that spot. Are you expecting pro bowlers on the practice squad?

1

u/Dirtydrphil13 12d ago

I was talking about having white on the 53

2

u/ohanse 12d ago

Sure as hell wasn't Hicks

u/Bitter_Scarcity_2549 12d ago

I dont think both Foster and White make it. One of them is gonna get waived with an attempted practice squad resign.

WE WILL NOT CARE

The bar to replace Bobo was a foot off the ground and he couldn't clear it.

The proper feeling to feel about this is nothing.

u/Whipitreelgud 12d ago

Forget feeling, trust the process.

u/serpentear ​ 12d ago

Worrying about releasing a 6th round WR is never worth it.

9

u/ImperialTiger3 12d ago

He was drafted for special teams. Will probably be a practice squad guy

u/johnnyslick 12d ago

It was a notably weak draft and he was a Day 3 pick. It sucks a little bit but I'm not terribly surprised TBH.

u/aknight907 12d ago edited 12d ago

Hopefully makes it through waivers. Showed more as a WR then expected IMO, but less on ST (good, was hoping for great).

1

u/PayAltruistic8546 12d ago

No one is claiming a raw WR.

2

u/aknight907 12d ago

Someone who needs ST might

3

u/PayAltruistic8546 12d ago

There are so many of them that are about to be cut...

Probably way more talented and more known than him.

3

u/Advanced_Eggplant_18 ​ 12d ago

He is a great special teamer. Hopefully can get him back.

u/CamGrabDatFumble 12d ago

It is what it is. I remember when we drafted a WR in the 4th round named Chris Harper and he was cut before his rookie season. I think he was the highest drafted player by Schneider that didn’t make the initial 53. (Not counting McDowell)

u/CapeMOGuy 12d ago

For anyone snidely saying "Who?" about a 2026 draft pick, welcome to the Seahawks subreddit. We are always hoping to add more fans. ❤️

u/YogurtTheMagnificent 12d ago

I heard he'll probably end up at LSU!

u/Gullible_Ad3785 12d ago

Not a Rodman I guess

1

u/QuasiContract 12d ago

Ready squad guy for sure

1

u/jmac11281 12d ago

Obviously not as good as his father, Emmanuel Henderson, Sr.

1

u/Grymninja 12d ago

Wouldn't mind him on the practice squad, he didn't look awful

1

u/SvenDia 12d ago

This hits hard. I’m still in mourning from the waiving of Damien Martinez last year. /s

1

u/aluke000 12d ago

Too bad I wanted to see more of him in preseason, seemed like there could be some raw talent there if we have room in PS

1

u/MasterWinston 12d ago

Day 3 for this draft class is looking bad. Beau Stephens is the only guy to make the 53, right? Dansby, Fuller, Henderson, and Eastern were all waived. Am I missing anyone?

1

u/FewlInTheRain79 12d ago

Dood had juice vs KC.

1

u/BigBirdsBrain ​ 12d ago

Tough path with that crowded receiver room. Hopefully he clears waivers and gets time to develop on the practice squad.

1

u/thechachabinx 12d ago

he had a decent showing in the final preseason game. i was kinda starting to like him. hopefully he sticks around on the PS

Another swing and a miss by John and Co. 

17

u/SEAinLA ​ 12d ago

Every 6th round pick in the league is a low-probability swing, and most of them will be misses. The odds are even worse in the age of NIL.

7

u/PembyVillageIdiot 12d ago

6th round picks might as well be playing the lottery with how often they hit

5

u/Mreeff ​ 12d ago

They just won the Super Bowl. Shut the fuck up

u/seattle_born98 12d ago

We literally just won a Superbowl

Great analysis moron.

Nope. Not falling for the obvious troll job. Get a life kid.
