Seattle Seahawks release veteran defensive tackle Al Woods

The Seahawks continue revamping the defensive line, releasing veteran defensive tackle Al Woods after his third stint in the Emerald City.

The Seattle Seahawks are busy revamping their defensive line, releasing another defensive tackle on Monday. Al Woods now joins Shelby Harris and Quinton Jefferson as former Seahawks defensive linemen.

Woods originally entered the NFL in 2010 when he was drafted by the Saints in the fourth round out of LSU. He spent his first brief stint in Seattle when he was claimed off waivers in 2011 before being waived just two months later.

He signed again with the Seahawks in 2019 but ended up missing four games that year when he was suspended for violating the league’s policy on performance-enhancing drugs.

Woods returned for his third stint in the Emerald City in 2021 and was elected defensive team captain last season.

During the first wave of free agency, the Seahawks signed defensive linemen Dre’Mont Jones and Jarran Reed.
