Avril was set to make $7.5 million in 2018. He was placed on injured reserve in October with a neck injury and finished the season with only two tackles and a sack in four games. It's also been rumored that Avril is unlikely to play football again so it isn't too surprising to see the Seahawks have released him. The move means a cap hit against the Seahawks of $500K.

The 32-year-old joined Seattle in 2013 as a free-agent.
