Seahawks waive kicker Sam Ficken, linebacker Emmanuel Beal

The Seahawks made a pair of roster moves Friday, one of which for now solves whatever kicking competition the team may have had, waiving kicker Sam Ficken and linebacker Emmanuel Beal.

Ficken signed as a free agent in January to a minimum-salary non-guaranteed deal worth $495,000 for one season as the team began searching for replacements for veteran Sebastian Janikowski. But in March Seattle signed Jason Myers to a four-year contract worth up to $15.45 million

Seattle may well sign another kicker to give Myers some competition in training camp, but the fact that Myers is getting $5.
