Jesse O'Neal was there!

Well, he tried to be there. Or at least he was obtained in the Veteran's Draft and would have been there...!

Jesse O'Neal was under contract to the Canadian League and was not eligible to join the Seahawks in 1976.

It might mean a rush line of Tipton, Owens, and Woods, but camp most likely will decide. No bargains were available in the expansIon draft. Woods was a backup with the Jets, and Tipton an occasional starter with San Diego; Owens used to start with the Saints, but he didn’t in 1975. He’s a pretty fair pass rusher, but he can be beat on the run. O’Neal might be a sleeper. He comes from Grambling and the Saskatoon Roughriders of the CFL, and he’s a rush line end who likes to annoy quarterbacks. Baker and Barisich are possibles.
