CB DeShawn Shead reportedly taking free-agent visit to Buffalo after Seahawks didn’t tender him

DeShawn Shead is shopping one week after the Seahawks freed him into the market as an unrestricted free agent.

Seattle’s starting cornerback last season is headed to Buffalo for a free-agent visit with the Bills, per multiple reports. The first was by espn.com’s Sheil Kapadia.

The Seahawks could have had Shead for 2017 as a restricted free agent for the lowest tender value, an original-round offer of $1,797,000. The team chose last week instead not to tender the former Portland State decathlete it signed after he went undrafted in 2012.

Shead tore the anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus in his left knee Jan.
