Seahawks are ‘moving on’ from defensive tackle Jarran Reed

The Seattle Seahawks are ‘moving on’ from defensive tackle Jarran Reed, either via a trade or release ahead of the 2021 season.

The Seattle Seahawks will be without a staple on the defensive line this year.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport is now reporting the Seahawks will be parting ways with veteran Jarran Reed after five seasons . . . one way or another.

“The Seahawks are moving on from starting DT Jarran Reed, source said, either in a release or trade,” Rapoport tweeted Thursday afternoon. “Reed had wanted a long-term deal, but the team hoped for just a conversion for cap space. Talks broke down, and here we are.”

The news was confirmed by various other media outlets as well as the following tweet from Reed himself: “It’s been real 12s tomorrow at 1 it’s official … on to the next chapter.”

This story is continuing to develop.
