RENTON—The Seahawks have until 3 P.M. PST to make their final 22 cuts in order to get down to the NFL required 53 man roster.

According to SI.com's Peter King the Seattle Seahawks will keep all seven of their 2009 NFL Draft class. However that does not include the undrafted free agents. This just includes the drafted players.

That would be Aaron Curry, Max Unger, Deon Butler, Mike Teel, Courtney Greene, Nick Reed and Cameron Morrah.

So what does this mean in the big picture?

Well Curry, we all know has been the starting OLB for the Seahawks since he was drafted. Max Unger, will now officially start over Mansfield Wrotto at RG. Deon Butler will now become the fourth wide receiver.

Teel is the Seahawks third quarterback. Greene is now a backup to either Brian Russell or Deon Grant. Reed is now the second or third string defensive end on either side. Cameron Morrah is the Seahawks third tight end.

Now what does that mean for other roster players that were on the bubble?

Deion Branch, from the words of Tim Ruskell, is not going to be released at all. Fourth string QB Jeff Rowe now is the odd man out in the quarterback depth chart. Butler's status is unchanged because he's always been the fourth wide receiver.

Now, Courtney Greene now looks to take the place of free safety C.J Wallace which would spell the end for Wallace in Seattle.

Nick Reed looks to have possibly bumped defensive end Baraka Atkins out of the Seahawks defensive line.

Cameron Morrah becomes the third and final tight end for the Seahawks which means Joe Newton did not make the team.
