The Seahawks made a couple of risky moves to facilitate the Jadeveon Clowney trade. They needed to keep both Barkevious Mingo and Jacob Martin on the roster. That’s mainly because it’s hard to trade players you no longer have. So Seattle released three players with no guarantees that any of them would come back. Happily, Geno Smith, Jaron Brown, and Nick Bellore are back in the Emerald City.
As it turns out, both Smith and Brown received offers from other teams. Bellore may have as well, but I haven’t seen any mention of it on the interwebs.
