The Seahawks will have a new safety pairing under Mike Macdonald.
A week out from the start of free agency, the Seattle Seahawks have made their first major cap casualty decisions. Starting safeties Jamal Adams and Quandre Diggs have both been let go, saving over $27 million in cap space. NFL insider Tom Pelissero reported the news on Tuesday. Diggs posted his farewell message on social media. Originally drafted by the Detroit Lions, Diggs joined the Seahawks for only a fifth-round pick back in 2019, replacing Tedric Thompson in the starting lineup.
The game has changed a bit here. The Seahawks will release Diggs, Adams, and Will Dissly immediately. Adams getting cut pre-June 1 means the Seahawks save only $6 million off of Adams and incur $20.8 million in dead money for 2024. Julian Love and Jerrick Reed II are the only true safeties under contract for the Seahawks, while Coby Bryant is sort of in a CB/S role. Obviously there will be investment through free agency and the draft coming soon.
