For the Seattle Seahawks, the biggest news from roster cutdown week was the release of veteran wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling.
What stands out from Seahawks’ 53-man roster decisions
When Valdes-Scantling signed a one-year deal with Seattle in March, he was expected to be the WR3 behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp. But after rookie Tory Horton surged ahead of him on the depth chart with a strong training camp and preseason, Valdes-Scantling’s roster spot began coming into question amid a fierce battle for the final receiver spots.
The Seahawks ultimately released Valdes-Scantling on Tuesday and went with Jake Bobo, Dareke Young and Cody White as the final three receivers on their initial 53-man roster.
