The Seahawks on Saturday waived defensive tackle Jordan Hill off of Injured Reserve. That means he is now free to be claimed by any other team and placed on its 53-man roster.
If Hill clears waivers he would then become a free agent and he could theoretically return to the Seahawks. But for now, he’s able to be claimed by any of the other 31 teams.
And now now, that means the end of the Seahawks’ career for a player who showed a lot of promise when he was able to stay healthy. But that was the rub, as a variety of injuries limited Hill to just 27 of a possible 48 games in the 2013-15 seasons — and only two of eight in the playoffs — and then prevented him from playing at all this season as he was placed on IR in the cutdown to the 53-man roster after suffering a hamstring injury in the preseason finale against Oakland.
