Overview

  • The Seahawks released four players—Dre'Mont Jones, George Fant, Roy Robertson-Harris, and Rayshawn Jenkins—saving $27.25 million in cap space.
  • Dre'Mont Jones, the team's most expensive free-agent signing in 2023, was cut after two seasons with 8.5 sacks and declining performance in 2024.
  • George Fant, a right tackle plagued by knee injuries, played only two games in 2024 and was released after signing a two-year deal last year.
  • Rayshawn Jenkins, signed in 2024 on a two-year contract, lost his starting safety role midseason and was unable to secure a trade before his release.
  • Roy Robertson-Harris, acquired in a trade from the Jaguars in 2024, played a limited role and recorded no sacks during his time with Seattle.
