Dodson getting claimed off waivers impacts how much money the Seahawks still owe their former starting linebacker.
A day after his somewhat unexpected exit from the Seattle Seahawks, former starting linebacker Tyrel Dodson has found his new team. And it’s a team that already features another former Seahawks starting linebacker. Tuesday’s NFL transactions update notes that Dodson was claimed off the waiver wire by the Miami Dolphins. This will bring Dodson back to the AFC East, where he began his career with the Buffalo Bills.
25 million salary through weekly game checks, $1 million in signing bonus money, and $240,000 in per game roster bonuses. The Seahawks no longer have any contractual obligation to pay Dodson. Miami assumes the remainder of Dodson’s contract, including his per game roster bonuses and his base salary. Had Dodson not been claimed, the Seahawks would’ve owed Dodson all of his money except the incentives, and Dodson would’ve negotiated a new contract as an unrestricted free agent.
