The Seahawks needed a roster spot, and one of the best camp stories in the NFL fell victim to the crunch.
According to Jay Glazer of FOX Sports, the Seahawks cut veteran long snapper Nate Boyer to help create some room for reinforcements elsewhere.
Boyer’s not a veteran in terms of NFL experience, as he’s never played in the league.
But the 34-year-old former Green Beret was still more than just a one-liner in the transaction agate.
He returned to football after serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the Seahawks certainly benefitted from having a man of his experience in camp, whether he was going to make the 53-man roster or not.
