Seahawks Release Kam Chancellor, Doug Baldwin With Failed Physical Designation

The Seahawks have parted ways with safety Kam Chancellor and wide receiver Doug Baldwin, the team announced on Thursday.

According to the team, Chancellor and Baldwin had their contracts terminated with failed physical designations.

Chancellor spent all of the 2018 season on the reserve/physically unable to perform list with a neck injury sustained in 2017. Baldwin struggled with numerous injuries throughout the 2018 season and underwent multiple surgeries this offseason.

“The Seahawks have made the difficult decision to terminate/failed physical Doug Baldwin and Kam Chancellor,” general manager John Schneider said. “These are two of the most iconic players in franchise history and both were instrumental in establishing our championship culture, great examples of competitiveness and leadership on the field and in the community.
