have released strong safety Kam Chancellor
Chancellor, who has not played for Seattle since 2017, spent all of last season on the reserve/PUP list because of a neck injury.
Baldwin, who just underwent his third surgery of the offseason, had been recently pondering a possible retirement.
“The Seahawks have made the difficult decision to terminate/failed physical Doug Baldwin and Kam Chancellor,” general manager John Schneider said via the team’s website. “These are two of the most iconic players in franchise history and both were instrumental in establishing our championship culture, great examples of competitiveness and leadership on the field and in the community.
“These legendary players will always be a part of our Seahawks family.”
Signed by Seattle as an undrafted free agent in 2011, Baldwin was an unstoppable force on the Seahawks offense. In 123 regular-season games, he logged 493 receptions for 6,563 yards and 49 touchdowns.
