Seahawks Sign Veteran Tackle Bobby Hart and Waive Rookie Levi Wentz

The move supplies veteran tackle depth ahead of mandatory minicamp to guard against short-term backup absences.

Overview

  • The Seahawks signed offensive lineman Bobby Hart and waived undrafted receiver Levi Wentz on Monday, June 8, 2026 to clear a 90-man roster spot.
  • Hart has played 108 NFL games with 75 starts for multiple teams and started eight games for the Los Angeles Chargers in 2025, giving Seattle an experienced option at tackle.
  • The team announced Hart as an offensive tackle though public records also list him at guard, so he offers positional flexibility for both tackle and interior depth.
  • Reporters tied the timing to short-term availability questions at backup line spots after Anthony Bradford left an OTA early with a minor knee issue and reserve tackle Josh Jones missed media-viewed practices.
  • The signing is best read as veteran camp insurance that will let Seattle manage reps and protect starters while Hart must still compete for a roster spot and Wentz looks for another chance elsewhere.
