Jermaine Kearse will enter his first offseason as a free agent since the start of his professional career in 2012. Kearse was a local talent who grew up in the Seattle area in Lakewood, Washington, and continued on to play football at the University of Washington. The Seattle Seahawks brought in Kearse as an undrafted rookie prior to the 2012 season.
In his first season with the Seahawks, he only started in one game and recorded a total of three catches for 31 yards. After that point, Kearse saw his role increase and was a major part of the Seattle receiving corps.
