Shaquem Griffin Jersey from laiyongcai92's blog

The Seahawks kicked off the new league year by announcing their restricted free agent and exclusive right free agent tenders.The team has tendered George Fant at a second-round level. Fant saw time at both tackle and tight end during the 2018 season and started seven games last year. He started 10 games at left tackle as a rookie in 2016 Shaquem Griffin Jersey , but a torn ACL kept him out for all of 2017.Fant is set to make $3.095 million under the tender. If he leaves for another team, the Seahawks would receive a second-round pick as compensation.Defensive end Quinton Jefferson was tendered at the original-round level. He was a fifth-round pick, which means the Seahawks would get that back if he doesn’t play out the year for them for $2.025 million.Jefferson had 25 tackles and three sacks while appearing in every game.The Seahawks have also tendered linebacker Austin Calitro, linebacker Emmanuel Ellerbee, center Joey Hunt, defensive end Branden Jackson, safety Shalom Luani Tre Flowers Jersey , running back J.D. McKissic, wide receiver David Moore, long snapper Tyler Ott, cornerback Kalan Reed, and guard Jordan Simmons as exclusive rights free agents. All are tied to the team for 2019 unless they want to sit out the year.Defensive end Ricky Ali'ifua, defensive back T.J. Green, running back Tre Madden and defensive back T.J. Mutcherson were not tendered and are now free agents.Seahawks waive DL Branden Jackson Barkevious Mingo Jersey , claim CB Simeon Thomas off waivers The Seattle Seahawks officially announced on Sunday that they’ve claimed G Jordan Simmons and CB Simeon Thomas off of waivers, meaning that they had to make two roster cuts to make room for both men.It was previously reported that Rees Odhiambo was let go (presumably as the corresponding move to Simmons), and now we know the other player is defensive lineman Branden Jackson.Jackson was a member of the Oakland Raiders in 2016, was signed to the Seahawks practice squad in 2017, then promoted to the active roster in October. He appeared in 12 games for Seattle and was credited with a pass defensed and a 0.5 sack against the San Francisco 49ers.The newly acquired Thomas is a sixth-round draft pick out of Louisiana-Lafayette. He stands 6’3” with 35” arm length, so he obviously meets the physical requirements to be a CB in Pete Carroll’s defense. A combination of academic problems, an eventual misdemeanor theft charge Marshawn Lynch Jersey , and a series of suspensions limited him to just one full season of college play. He’s certainly not a young rookie either, as he’ll turn 25 years old on September 22nd.Thomas apparently was also projected as being able to play safety, so perhaps that’s an additional reason for bringing him on board as depth, as well as to comfort Seahawks fans in knowing that there is indeed someone named Thomas in the secondary who’s on the active roster.
