  "account": "The Seattle Seahawks are in the final stages of trimming their roster down to 53 players before the September 9 regular season opener against the New England Patriots. The team has already started informing players about their plan to waive them ahead of the 1 p.m. deadline on August 30. Among those being waived are second-year defensive tackle Bubba Thomas, who spent his rookie season on the practice squad, and offensive lineman Derrick Graham. The Seahawks will also likely trade or place some players on injured reserve as they work to build the fringes of the roster as competitively as possible.",
