Seahawks expects to participate in defensive action Jarn Reed, According to ESPN.com’s Adam Shafter report (by Twitter). It seems that Reed himself broke the news in a deleted tweet.
According to Schaefter, Seattle is looking for a business partner but will release the 28-year-old if he can’t change the deal. NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport is hearing the same thing, and Russ Pashit adds that Reed was seeking a long-term deal, while Seahawks was hoping he would convert some of his 2020 salary into a sign-in bonus to increase his 13.5mm cap. The cap can be reduced. Number (Twitter link). Although those types of restructuring are common and not difficult to run in general, as they guarantee the player an previously unspent money, the report says the situation went “bad” when Seattle did not agree to an extension.
Moving on from the reed will create a cap 8.5mm cap position, although it will saddle the club with a MM5mm dead cap hit. Clearly, though, Seattle is worth more cap savings than their 2016 second-rounder at this point.
Reed had a breakout campaign in 2018, tying 50 tackles and 10.5 sacks. But he was suspended for the first six games of the 2019 season after violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy, and he will manage only 2.5 sacks that year. His sack total rose to 6.5 last season, and he played a full 16-game slate, but Pro Football Focus was not too focused on his work. The PFFA ranked him as the 89th best interior defender out of 125 qualifiers, and he did not get high marks either for his defense or for his ability to run the pass.
Sihak signed Carrie Heider Brought several days ago and back Benson Mayova, But Reed’s departure would still leave the pass rushing void (despite his low PFF score). 2020 trade acquisition Carlos Dunlap It’s still on the market even after it was introduced by Seattle a few weeks ago, so maybe ‘Hawks’ will return them. They may even ask the first rounder of 2019 LJ Collier To handle more snaps on DT with the reed from the picture.
