Seahawks release Malik McDowell, the most mysterious--and worst--top draft pick in team history

The Seahawks’ part of the Malik McDowell mystery and lost opportunity has ended.

Seattle on Saturday reportedly waived from its non-football injury list its top draft choice from 2017, who never played a game for the team.

The move was according to Ian Rapoport of the league-owned NFL Network.

The NFL doesn’t typically publish official transactions for Saturdays or Sundays in the offseason. It saves such weekend transactions for official notice on Mondays.
