Seahawks depart from rookie Kemah Siverand for trying to sneak female visitor into team hotel

The Seattle Seahawks departed earlier this week on rookie cornerback Kemah Siverand after he was caught on video trying to snatch a woman from the team’s hotel, a source confirmed to ESPN.

The NFL Network first reported the circumstances of Siverand’s release, noting that the Seahawks’ wife had teamed up in an attempt to disguise herself as a player.

The rule no. 1 of coach Pete Carroll is “always protecting the team.” On Wednesday, he praised the Seahawks veteran leaders for sending the right message to the locker room about the need to be disciplined in preparation for a season amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The Seahawks have placed only one player on the reserve / COVID-19 list. Carroll confirmed on Wednesday that it was the result of a false positive test with wide receiver John Ursua, who has since been reactivated.

Siverand went undraft from Oklahoma State and received a $ 2,000 signing bonus from Seattle. That was tied for the third-smallest bonus among the Seahawks’ 17 unexpected free agents.

Siverand’s agent did not respond to a message from ESPN.
