There was only one roster move on Tuesday that truly shocked me, and that was the release of WR Penny Hart. Hart, who most considered to be a lock to make the squad, was cut in favor of the team keeping a significant surplus at positions like quarterback, running back, and offensive line.
The clear and specific praise Hart receiver from Pete Carroll this offseason is what makes the cut so shocking.
“Penny made the team last year because you can count on him. You can count on him in a lot of ways... knowing the offense, multiple positions, contributing on special teams, [and] his toughness,” Carroll said during minicamp.
