With the Seattle Seahawks dealing with multiple injuries at the tight end position this week, they had to look for some alternatives. Last night, Aaron Wilson reported that the team has signed both Devon Garrison from Pittsburgh State and Michael Ezeike from UCLA.
To make room for the two new tight ends on the 90-man offseason roster, the Seahawks had to release several players. This news came just as the team announced the signings of Garrison and Ezeike. Rookie linebacker Devin Richardson from Washington State and cornerback Willie Roberts from Louisiana Tech were released.
Richardson only played two special teams snaps in Saturday’s preseason game against the Tennessee Titans. The week before, he played just six defensive snaps against the Los Angeles Chargers, but earned a good grade of 74.3.
Roberts played nine snaps on defense against the Titans but was likely pushed out of the roster with the rise of Tennessee freshman Dee Williams, who totaled 68 kick return yards on two attempts and also posted the team’s best mark in coverage this week.
The Seahawks also reportedly practiced with former Chargers quarterback Casey Bauman on Sunday, but there is no indication so far that he will sign.
