Turns out, the Seahawks’ ill-fated saga with Malik McDowell is not quite over.
The Seahawks have sued McDowell in federal court in Michigan stating that he has failed to repay $799,238 in bonus money that an arbitrator ordered him to, according to a report from DetroitNews.com. The paper reports the suit was filed in U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of Michigan. McDowell is a native of Detroit who played at Michigan State.
McDowell was taken as the 35th overall pick by the Seahawks in 2017 but never played for the team due to injuries suffered in an ATV accident in July of 2017.
