Seattle waived Tanner Carew and signed Marvin Bracy, who ran in the 100 meters at the 2016 Summer Olympics.
The Seahawks made a roster move Saturday that effectively ended their battle at long snapper, waiving Tanner Carew, an undrafted free agent from Oregon who was battling to unseat incumbent Tyler Ott.
Instead, it appears Ott — who held the job last year after first coming to the Seahawks in January 2017 — will be the long snapper for another season.
To take Carew’s place on the 90-man roster, the Seahawks signed free agent receiver Marvin Bracy, who was on the United State’s 2016 Olympic Track and Field team and was a standout sprinter at Florida State but did not play football there before attempting to make the transition to the NFL last fall (he was on Florida State’s roster as a redshirt freshman in 2012 after which he decided to focus on track, turning professional in that sport.
