Gary Jennings and the curse of the Seahawks’ mid-round receiver draft picks

A week after Josh Gordon was claimed by only one team — the Seahawks — a receiver Seattle waived, rookie Gary Jennings, was claimed by the first team that had a chance, the Miami Dolphins.

Jennings, a fourth-round pick last April, was claimed by Miami Tuesday, a day after Seattle waived him in part because the Seahawks had an overabundance of receivers on their 53-man roster — eight — after adding Gordon last Friday.

Seattle had claimed Gordon with the 28th spot in the waiver order, and was the only team to put in a claim for him (Miami, by dint of having the worst record in the NFL, had the first crack at Jennings this week).
