The Seahawks released four players a week before the start of free agency.
The Seahawks parted ways with four veteran players on Tuesday, releasing tackle George Fant, safety Rayshawn Jenkins, outside linebacker Dre'Mont Jones and defensive tackle Roy Robertson-Harris.
The moves come a week ahead of the start of free agency, which begins on March 10 with the two-day negotiating period before the new league year begins on March 12, and they also come on the heels of the NFL Scouting Combine, which in addition to being an opportunity to evaluate draft prospects, is also, as general manager and president of football operations John Schneider noted, a chance for teams to start to figure out the offseason landscape.
"We're down here to figure out what the offseason's going to look like, this is our start," Schneider said Tuesday in Indianapolis.
Jones, who the Seahawks signed as a free agent two years ago, has appeared in all 34 games in two seasons with Seattle, starting 16 games in 2023 and seven games last season. Jones totaled 8.5 sacks, 77 tackles, 12 tackles for loss and 25 quarterback hits in his two seasons for the Seahawks.
Fant, who began his career in Seattle as an undrafted free agent before signing with the Jets as a free agent in 2020, returned to the Seahawks as a free agent in 2024 to provide veteran tackle depth, and with Abraham Lucas coming off offseason surgery, an option to start at right tackle to open the season. Fant did indeed open the season as Seattle's starter, but unfortunately suffered an injury in Week 1, then had another injury sideline him upon his return, meaning he appeared in just two games during the season.
Jenkins, a free-agent addition last season, opened the year as a starting safety alongside Julian Love, but after he went on injured reserve midway through the season with a hand injury, Coby Bryant took over his starting spot and never gave it up, emerging as a top playmaker on defense. Jenkins finished his season starting nine games and appearing in 13, recording 53 tackles, 2.0 sacks, and a 102-yard fumble return touchdown.
Robertson-Harris, who the Seahawks acquired in a trade with Jacksonville during the 2024 season, appeared in 11 games, recording 13 tackles, one tackle for loss, one pass defensed and one quarterback hit.
