Report: Seahawks releasing Benson Mayowa
In news that felt inevitable after the signing of Uchenna Nwosu, the Seattle Seahawks intend to release defensive end/linebacker Benson Mayowa.
This doesn’t save a lot of cap space and will add to Seattle’s huge dead money charge for the 2022 season.
Mayowa was brought back by the Seahawks in 2020 and racked up six sacks and three passes defensed. Last season he had just the one sack on opening day against the Indianapolis Colts and was otherwise a schematic misfit who had an increased presence in coverage and not rushing the passer.
