SEATTLE -- In a surprising move, the Seattle Seahawks have waived defensive end Dwight Freeney, who recorded three sacks over his first four games with the team.
The Seahawks announced the move Tuesday.
Seattle signed the 37-year-old Freeney last month, adding him to a defensive line rotation that had lost Cliff Avril to a neck injury. Freeney recorded a sack in his Seahawks debut then two more the following week. He averaged 28 snaps over his first three games then played 17 in Seattle's loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Monday night.
