The Seattle Seahawks cut a pass rusher from their roster before Monday’s start of the team’s offseason workout program. The cut came as the Seahawks are set to visit with a top pass-rushing prospect who had an interesting weekend.
The Seattle Seahawks signed several players
Per the Seahawks website, the team signed several free agents and restricted free agents. Cornerback Michael Jackson, linebacker Jon Rhattigan, defensive end Myles Adams, offensive guard McClendon Curtis, offensive tackle Raiqwon O’Neal, linebacker Joshua Onujiogu, and tight end Brady Russell signed contracts to remain with Seattle.
The Seahawks cut LaTrell Bumphus
The Seahawks released defensive tackle LaTrell Bumphus. The Seahawks signed Bumphus out of Tennessee as an undrafted rookie free agent last offseason:
“Bumphus is the sixth nose tackle added by the Seahawks dating back to last month’s draft along with Cameron Young, a fourth-round pick, Jonah Tavai and Robert Cooper, who signed as undrafted rookie free agents, and Forrest Merrill and Austin Faoliu, who were signed last week.
Bumphus, who is 6-foot-3, 280 pounds, began his college career as a tight end before moving to the defensive line after the 2018 season. He appeared in 55 career games, starting 24 while accumulating 66 tackles, 12 tackles for loss three sacks, one forced fumble, two fumble recoveries and two passes defensed.”
Bumphus recorded no stats last season.
T’Vondre Sweat is set to meet with the Seahawks
The Seahawks could be adding a pass rusher in the draft. Per Tom Pelissero with the NFL Network, Texas defensive tackle prospect T’Vondre Sweat is set to meet with the Seahawks this week.
Sweat was arrested this weekend on alleged suspicion of DWI. He posted a $3,000 bond.
