The Seahawks signed defensive tackle Rodney Mathews, an undrafted rookie out of Ohio University.

Linebacker Easton Gibbs, who signed with Seattle as an undrafted rookie in May, was released to make room on the 90-man roster.

Mathews, who is 6-foot-1, 311 pounds, Started 26 of 27 games played over the past two seasons, totaling 46 tackles and 11.5 tackles for loss over that span. Mathews' senior season also included a late-game interception to secure an upset win over Iowa State. Over his four seasons at Ohio, Mathews totaled 71 tackles, 14.5 tackles for loss and 3.0 sacks.

Mathews initially signed with the Green Bay Packers following the 2024 draft, then was released in May.
