Four key members of the Seattle Seahawks young core—Kenneth Walker III, Tariq Woolen, Boye Mafe, and Coby Bryant—have officially changed their jersey numbers for the upcoming season, per @AdamSchefter.
The update clarifies a viral list of offseason "losses" for the Seahawks, which referred to the players' previous jersey designations rather than their status on the roster. Kenneth Walker III will move from No. 9 to No. 3, while Pro Bowl cornerback Tariq Woolen is switching from No. 27 to No. 0. Linebacker Boye Mafe is moving from No. 53 to No. 10, and defensive back Coby Bryant is switching from No. 8 to No. 2.
All four players remain under contract and are expected to be central figures in Seattle's lineup this year. Walker led the team in rushing last season, while Woolen and Bryant remain fixtures in the secondary. Mafe is coming off a breakout season as a primary pass rusher for the defense under the team's new coaching staff.
This is a developing story. Check back for updates.
