As Earl Thomas posts video indicating his eventual return, another Seahawks starting defensive back has a return that is much trickier.
Cornerback DeShawn Shead is beginning his long recovery from a torn anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus in his left knee. He is a restricted free agent. The Seahawks have until Thursday at 1 p.m. to give Shead a tender offer. ESPN.com’s Sheil Kapadia cited a league source Tuesday stating Seattle will not tender Shead. That would make him an unrestricted free agent.
Usually, a team not tendering a restricted free agent an offer signals that player’s exit.
