Seahawks release former Jets third-round pick Jachai Polite off practice squad

RENTON — The Seahawks made one roster move Monday, releasing linebacker/rush end Jachai Polite off their practice squad. No corresponding move was announced, meaning Seattle has an opening on its 10-man practice squad.

Polite was a Jets third-round pick in the 2019 draft, taken 68th overall out of Florida, after some had thought he had the potential to go in the first round. Some mock drafts even had Seattle being interested in Polite as a potential first-rounder. He was viewed as a potentially elite pass rusher and had eight forced fumbles to lead the nation last year at Florida.
