Seahawks release four veterans, save $28 million in cap space

The Seattle Seahawks released four veteran players—defensive linemen Dre'Mont Jones and Roy Robertson-Harris, safety Rayshawn Jenkins, and offensive lineman George Fant—to free up approximately $28 million in salary-cap space. The decision comes just days before the NFL's free agent negotiating period, as the team needed to address being over the cap and prepare to re-sign existing players and pursue new signings. The most significant savings stem from the release of Jones, whose performance did not meet expectations after signing a three-year deal worth over $51 million. Jenkins, Robertson-Harris, and Fant also faced limited roles due to injuries or lack of performance last season. These moves indicate a strategic shift for the Seahawks as they look to bolster their roster ahead of the upcoming season.
