When it rains it pours. That’s especially true in the Pacific Northwest, where a quiet offseason of Seahawks news has suddenly burst with a bunch of roster moves. Only moments ago we learned that the Seahawks were releasing both strong safety Jamal Adams and free safety Quandre Diggs, freeing up some $27.5 million in cap space for the 2024 season.
Just minutes later, Tom Pelissero at NFL Network followed up with another reported roster cut for Seattle: tight end Will Dissly. This move saves the Seahawks another $7 million in cap room.
The #Seahawks are also releasing veteran TE Will Dissly, per source.

Dissly was a fan favorite in Seattle, having previously played for the University of Washington in college. All together he appeared in 72 games with the Seahawks, totaling a little over 1,400 yards and 13 touchdowns.
The good news for Dissly is that he’s entering a very weak market for tight ends and might be able to earn even more as a free agent than he would have in Seattle for 2024. Yesterday ESPN reported that even third-string tight end Colby Parkinson is getting some buzz as a sleeper free agent.
