Seahawks Allow Safety Rayshawn Jenkins To Seek Trade

The Seattle Seahawks have granted veteran safety Rayshawn Jenkins permission to seek a trade, as reported by Fox Sports. Jenkins, who has one year left on a two-year, $12 million contract, struggled during the 2024 season, losing his starting spot to Coby Bryant after suffering a hand injury. In 13 games, he recorded 53 tackles, two sacks, and a notable 102-yard fumble return touchdown, but ranked poorly among safeties according to Pro Football Focus. The Seahawks face a challenging salary cap situation, being $6.8 million over the cap, and could save $5.28 million by trading or releasing Jenkins. If a trade doesn’t materialize, Jenkins could be a salary cap casualty, freeing up funds but costing the team draft compensation. The Seahawks are exploring options to manage their cap space while maximizing potential returns on player trades.
