RENTON -- The Seahawks began the difficult process of deciding which players will suit up for Seattle during the 2016 regular season and which will be sent packing with tenuous football futures.

Teams are required to reduce their rosters from 90 to 75 players by Tuesday at 1 p.m. Pacific, but according to Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll, the team has already begun the winnowing down of the roster.

"The process is beginning," Carroll said after practice at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center on Sunday. "We're not going to announce anything until Tuesday morning, but the process begins."
