Seahawks Add CB Brandon Johnson, Waive TE Harrison Bryant

The move gives a young defensive back a camp chance as Seattle sorts secondary depth with two defensive backs on the PUP list.

Overview

  • The Seahawks signed cornerback Brandon Johnson and waived tight end Harrison Bryant on Tuesday, adding Johnson to the 90-man roster to compete for a spot on the 53-man roster or the practice squad.
  • Johnson played three seasons at Duke before transferring to Oregon for the 2024 season, where he started eight games and recorded 45 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss and one interception.
  • He went undrafted in 2025, spent most of his rookie year on the Philadelphia Eagles’ practice squad, appeared in three NFL games and logged 37 snaps with a pass defensed and a solo tackle.
  • Seattle’s secondary picture includes three rookie corners it drafted, veteran Noah Igbinogene and two defensive backs on the PUP list, which creates short-term opportunities for camp signees to earn defensive snaps and special teams roles.
  • Harrison Bryant, a 27-year-old former John Mackey Award winner who signed with the Seahawks in April after a 2025 season with the Texans, was waived as part of routine training-camp roster churn that forces veterans to compete for depth roles.
