The Seattle Seahawks executed a couple of roster moves on Tuesday, including the waiver of veteran cornerback, Sidney Jones.
Per NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport, Seattle had attempted to trade Jones before the deadline but ultimately was forced to cut him.
Jones was originally selected by the Eagles in the second round of the 2017 NFL draft out of the University of Washington and spent three years in Philadelphia. He was picked up by the Jaguars ahead of the 2020 season and was then dealt to the Seahawks via a trade in 2021.
With the emergence of Tariq Wollen and Mike Jackson at the starting corner spots, and Tre Brown’s return to practice, Jones’ services were no longer needed.
Even though Jones is a vested veteran, he must clear waivers since he was cut following the trade deadline.
