It took a while but former Seattle Seahawks DB Kemah Siverand made the only play he could: Apologize.
The undrafted free agent from Oklahoma State who was cut Aug, 11 after trying to sneak a woman into his room — against COVID-19 restrictions — took to Twitter and said, “I made a mistake, let people down, and am truly sorry.”
“After taking time to reflect and really consider the seriousness of my actions, I have tried to find the appropriate words to apologize to all of those affected by my poor decision and immaturity,” Siverand’s apology read. “I’ve privately apologized to Coach [Pete] Carroll, [general manager] John Schneider, and the Seahawks organization. I violated team rules, which would have been unacceptable in normal times, but absolutely inexcusable now during a pandemic. I understand my lapse in judgement put my teammates and the organization at risk, thankfully no one else was affected by my actions.”

Siverand compounded his poor decision-making by having the woman dress in Seahawks garb. Security video caught him.
