In a week that’s seen the Seattle Seahawks cut loose Richard Sherman and Jeremy Lane, another veteran member of the secondary is also on his way out, although it’s definitely not for the same reasons as Sherman and Lane.
DeShawn Shead will be let go on Monday, according to ESPN’s Brady Henderson. Shead missed almost all of 2017 after tearing his ACL in Seattle’s divisional round playoff loss to the Falcons, only appearing in the team’s final two games.
This explanation from Henderson should clarify Shead’s contract situation:
Shead’s free-agent status had been in question after he spent all but two games of the past season on the physically unable to perform list while working his way back from a torn ACL.
