Seahawks make cuts, save $27M in salary purge
The Seahawks are releasing OLB Dre'Mont Jones, DT Roy Robertson-Harris, S Rayshawn Jenkins and OT George Fant, saving around $27 million in cap space.
Seahawks make several cuts, save $27M in salary cap space
The Seahawks on Tuesday announced the releases of outside linebacker Dre'Mont Jones, defensive tackle Roy Robertson-Harris, safety Rayshawn Jenkins and offensive tackle George Fant -- anticipated moves that combine to save the team roughly $27 million in cap space.And that may only be the start of their pre-free-agency salary purge, with signs pointing to wide receiver Tyler Lockett likely being released later this week barring an unexpected restructure of his contract.
Jones is the most significant of the four cuts Seattle announced Tuesday.
Not known as big spenders in free agency, the Seahawks made an out-of-character splurge to sign Jones in March of 2023, and it didn't pan out. He didn't miss a game in two seasons, but with only 8.5 sacks and 12 tackles for loss in that span, he didn't have the impact that was expected when Seattle made him the priciest free agent addition in franchise history with a three-year, $51.53 million deal.
After playing both defensive tackle and end in 2023, Jones, 28, dropped weight to play more of an outside linebacker role in Mike Macdonald's defense last year. The Seahawks hoped Macdonald's penchant for moving around defenders up front would help unlock Jones, but he played predominantly on the edge and recorded 4.0 sacks while dealing with a shoulder injury for much of the year.
Jones was set to make $16.51 million in 2025, none of which was guaranteed. If the Seahawks are making him a standard release, the move will save $11.57 million in cap space and come with a dead cap charge of $14.1 million.
