RENTON — The Seahawks have re-signed cornerback Jamar Taylor, as initially reported by Mike Garafolo of The NFL Network.
Taylor was with the team throughout training camp before being released in the cutdown to 53. As a vested veteran his salary of $895,000 would have been guaranteed if he were on the roster week one. Now, he essentially plays on a week-to-week salary basis. That may have played a role in his release and re-signing.
But the Seahawks also may need him to replace the injured Neiko Thorpe, who left in the first half of Sunday’s 21-20 win over the Cincinnati Bengals with a hamstring injury and Taylor also figures to get immediately throw back into the competition for the nickelback position.
