Jon Ryan, the longest-tenured player on the Seahawks, announced Monday morning via Twitter that he has been released by the team with Seattle going with rookie fifth-round pick Michael Dickson as its punter.
Ryan came to Seattle in 2008 and was the last player remaining on the roster who pre-dated the arrival of coach Pete Carroll. His departure also means there are just seven players left on the roster who were part of the team’s Super Bowl champs following the 2013 season.
Ryan wrote that “it’s been an absolute honor and privilege to play in this great city of Seattle for the past 10 year.
