he was on the PS all of 1993 before catching on permanently the next year. I do, however, count a player for his year of service if he started on the PS and later made the 53. There are just too many guys who floated on and off the roster to track it all and the historic data would be very incomplete. Practice squad players I don't count unless they cracked the 53 man roster at some point. I don't fault those guys for taking the chance they got to play, but to me they are a footnote in team history, not a main point. Most of those guys would never have sniffed an NFL roster if not for the disastrous three game strike that year. My first big departure is I'm not considering the replacement players in 1987. So how do I determine the all-time roster? I do it a little different than you'll see on the Seahawks official site. 7 players wore 3 different numbers in their career! In fact by my count 64 Seahawk players in team history have worn multiple jersey numbers (the most recent being Jeremy Lane who switched from 37 to 20 early in his rookie season). The only real problem with that idea is quite a few players have used multiple roster numbers in the Seahawk careers. ![]() I've always been overly mindful of roster numbers, and my plan here is to present the roster numerically. ![]() I started this process in October and it became quite an obsession until I finished sometime in December, just waiting for this latest season to end so I could have all 38 years of complete data. I have been able to go back and re-construct the game to game roster for every regular season and playoff game in team history. Since 1976 the Seahawks have played 38 seasons and played in 596 regular season and 24 playoff games.
