One of the Seahawks biggest surprises on Cut Day was the release of wide receiver Jaron Brown. As I wrote at the time, this was widely seen as strictly a financial deal. Now we can see that is while it may have been about the dollars, it was more about the roster spot itself. Read on to see just how John Schneider worked the system to the Hawks advantage.
It’s now apparent that Brown was released so the Seahawks could keep Ed Dickson on the 53-man roster. That’s clearly the case, as Seattle placed Dickson on injured reserve to make room for Brown.
