The Seahawks officially made two transactions Wednesday, one of which was a bit of a surprise, waiving long-time long snapper Clint Gresham. The Seahawks also announced that linebacker Eric Pinkins had signed his tender as an Exclusive Rights Free Agent, an expected move that officially keeps hi him in the fold for 2016.
Gresham, who had been with the Seahawks since 2010, taking part in every game of the Pete Carroll era.
The 29-year-old Gresham had signed a three-year deal worth $2.7 million on March, 20, 2015 as an unrestricted free agent. His contract called for an $860,000 salary cap hit in 2016 and $1 million in 2017, with dead cap numbers of $200,000 and $100,000 (meaning, the Seahawks are saving $660,000 and $900,000 against the cap).
