Less than a month after adding Dwight Freeney to the roster, the Seattle Seahawks announced they parted ways with the pass rusher Tuesday.

The move is a surprising one. The possible future Hall of Famer had found success with his new team, logging three sacks in limited playing time in four games.

Get him and rotate him & pep n deactivate CJ lol...

No seriously, CJ needs a change o' scenary. After the sweep the leg, he fell off the map.

come on down here to the pass rusher retirement club here in Carolina, Freeney!

May be past his prime, but absolutely get him even if he gets 10 snaps a game as a 3rd down rush specialist ... huge presence in the locker room for the youngsters like Pep

Yeah cause he was the issue on that roster.

RIP twelves 2014 - 2017

I would be all for this. Come in as an extra option 3rd down specialist. Not to mention that veteran presence. Could be another Jared Allen move.

Maybe we could just bring him back. Old guys ftw

Nothing wrong with adding a vet pass rusher for the stretch run.

How would this work? Is it a waiver system he has to go through? If not, is Hurney actually watching what's going on instead of being focused on the draft?

Yes he goes through waivers

No waivers for players with 4+  years of NFL experience. Those guys immediately become unrestricted free agents.

Nope. After the trade deadline everyone hits waivers.

Having Freeny and Peppers on the same team would be ridiculous. I don’t care how old they are.

This type of thing may show if Hurney is actually paying attention to the roster....it's clear he'd be better than CJ who has done nothing but show up. At least he's trying?
