Seahawks released LS Andrew East

Churn, churn, churn. Seattle is working the longsnapper market this offseason, and per the NFL's transaction wire, have signed longsnapper Drew Ferris and released Andrew East. East's release follows the release of longtime Seahawks longsnapper Clint Gresham, so Seattle is obviously looking for a new longsnapper for 2016.

Ferris is a former Florida Gator that took part in a rookie mini-camp with the Jets last year.

Seattle also recently signed tackle Bradley Sowell, who had been training to be a longsnapper this offseason (and published this video of him longsnapping to Instagram), so he could be a replacement option.
