It's only been a few years since the Seattle Seahawks reigned supreme over the NFC West. The outlook of the division changed when Sean McVay came to the Los Angeles Rams in 2017.

Since then, the Rams have won the NFC West and have a Super Bowl appearance. As for the Seahawks and Pete Carroll, it's all about finding a way to sit atop the throne again.

Last season, the Seahawks returned to their roots of pounding the rock and allowing that to set up Russell Wilson and the passing game. Seattle ran 534 times (second-most in the NFL) and threw just 427 times (least in the NFL) in 2018.

Despite their tendency to run, the Seahawks handed Wilson a lucrative contract this offseason—and deservedly so. The extension was worth $140 million over four seasons. Therefore, Wilson is signed through 2023, which secures him on the team into his 30s.

Heading into this season, the Seahawks will still hand off to Chris Carson and get out of the way.

In the passing game, the Seahawks drafted D.K. Metcalf and Gary Jennings to provide some help for Tyler Lockett. Getting those guys acclimated to the offense during training camp will be crucial.

There is nearly a month left until the beginning of the 2019 regular season. Before then, each team in the NFL will need to trim its roster to 53 players. Here are three potential training camp roster cuts for the Seahawks this year.

3. Kalan Reed

Every season, the Seahawks pride themselves on smashmouth defense. It starts in the secondary and trickles down to the defensive front.

All the members of the Legion of Boom are gone now with Earl Thomas departing in free agency this offseason. That leaves Shaquill Griffin and Tre Flowers to man the corner positions while Bradley McDougald and Tedric Thompson hold down the safety spots.

Further down the depth chart at cornerback is Kalan Reed. He is entering his second season with the Seahawks after spending the majority of 2018 on their practice squad.

The fourth-year cornerback is battling Akeem King and Jeremy Boykins for the final cornerback spots. Reed will need to flash his potential to the coaching staff to remain in Seattle.

2. Ed Dickson

Since the Seahawks lost Jimmy Graham, the team has been searching for a consistent target at the tight end position. This year is no different; Seattle will likely have a few guys with a chance to have roles in the offense.

For the time being, the Seahawks love the prospect of Will Dissly starting and Nick Vannett playing behind him. After that, Ed Dickson, George Fant, and Jacob Hollister will battle for the third tight end spot.

Most teams keep three tight ends, so it's likely that two of those guys will see the chopping block. There's a decent chance that Dickson will be a cap casualty, since the team has taken a liking to Hollister.

Dickson has more experience than any of the other tight ends, but he lacks potential compared to the others on the roster.

1. C.J. Prosise

It seemed like a couple of seasons ago that the Seahawks unearthed a star running back in the making. In 2016, Prosise started two games at running back in his rookie season.

Prosise would flash his skills as a runner and pass-catcher in the Seahawks' offense. Unfortunately, injuries have plagued Prosise since. His 2016 season is an underlying tale of “what could have been” if he had remained healthy.

This year, the Seahawks are littered with talented ball-carriers and Prosise may be pushed to the side. Currently, Carson will get the nod as the starter. Meanwhile, 2018 first-round pick Rashaad Penny will serve as the backup.

Behind them, speedster J.D. McKissic and Travis Homer, the Seahawks' sixth-round choice in 2019, figure to put up a fight for their spots on the team. As good as Prosise could be, the Seahawks may not have room to keep him much longer.
