DeShawn Shead is gone. But could be back soon.
The NFL’s official transactions for Monday listed the Seahawks as having waived the versatile, 28-year-old defensive back months. He came back from reconstructive knee surgery in January 2017 and a follow-up procedure last summer to play in the final two games of last season.
Shead is the third former starting defensive back the Seahawks have waived since Friday. Richard Sherman, you may have heard, was the first. Jeremy Lane got cut the same day, to save $4.75 million against this year’s salary cap.
Shead is now a free agent, too.
