The Seattle Seahawks continued their quest to clear cap space on Tuesday, reportedly releasing veteran tight end Ed Dickson, according to a tweet from NFL Insider Ian Rapoport.
The move comes shortly after a report indicated the team plans to cut safety Tedric Thompson, and the two moves combined would save the Seahawks $5.3 million dollars in cap space – potentially alluding to another signing or the return of Jadeveon Clowney.
Dickson, 32, spent all of 2019 on the injured reserve, save for a few days where he was activated and subsequently placed back on IR without making an appearance in a game.
Dickson also missed the first half of the 2018 season with injuries as well, returning to catch three touchdowns and 12 total receptions in 10 games down the stretch.
Dickson’s release was all but guaranteed after the team signed free agent Greg Olsen and reportedly came to terms with both Luke Willson and Jacob Hollister, giving them three tight ends alongside presumed starter Will Dissly.
