The Seahawks played a fun round of musical chairs this week with their roster. A week ago, Seattle signed free agent safety Adrian Colbert to the practice squad. Then on Wednesday, the team announced they had assigned Colbert to the 53-man roster and waived underperforming wide receiver Gary Jennings Jr. The fun started when the next day when it was announced that the Hawks decided to waive defensive tackle Bryan Mone instead. So how, and more importantly why, did this happen?
How it happened is the easy part. The Seahawks submitted the waiver request on Wednesday afternoon, after the 1 pm Pacific time deadline for roster moves.
