When Mike MacDonald took over as the head coach of the Seattle Seahawks before the 2024 NFL season, one of his first orders of business was getting rid of or not re-signing players who had no right still being on the roster.
Former head coach Pete Carroll, now with the Las Vegas Raiders, was a legendary leader for the franchise, but toward the end of his tenure, he became too loyal to certain players. The classic example of this is Jamal Adams, who was kept around despite his constant injury troubles.
So, when Carroll left, so did Adams, as he signed with the Tennessee Titans as a free agent last offseason.
