The Seattle Seahawks are adding an offensive lineman to their offseason roster. Former Oregon Ducks blocker Sala Aumavae-Laulu signed a futures/reserve contract with the team on Monday. Aumavae-Laulu possesses a few connections to the current staff that made him a fit.
Aumavae-Laulu was a sixth-round selection (No. 199 overall) of the Baltimore Ravens during the 2023 NFL Draft. Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald was the Ravens’ defensive coordinator during Aumavae-Laulu’s rookie season.

Aumavae-Laulu spent this past campaign with the Ravens as well. In total, he’s appeared in two regular-season contests. Aumavae-Laulu has spent the majority of his time with the Ravens developing on their practice squad.
Aumavae-Laulu was the first Oregon offensive player selected during the 2023 draft. As a senior in 2022, the Hilo, Hawaii native started all 13 games at right tackle. He’s also practiced as a guard, showcasing versatility in the NFL.
The Seahawks have the oft-injured Abe Lucas at right tackle. A plethora of offensive linemen are scheduled for free agency, including backup right tackle Stone Forsythe. Aumavae-Laulu will attempt to compete for a roster spot throughout training camp.
