Seahawk Chad Wheeler released on bond after domestic violence arrest

Seattle Seahawks offensive tackle Chad Wheeler was arrested for suspected felony domestic violence and released on a $400,000 bond.

Seattle Seahawks offensive tackle Chad Wheeler was arrested on suspected felony domestic violence in Kent over the weekend and was placed in King County Jail early Saturday morning.

After an initial court hearing on Monday, he received an order to relinquish all weapons and not come in contact with his girlfriend, the alleged victim in the matter. He was released from jail after posting a $400,000 bond on Tuesday.

The details of the incident are disturbing and detailed in a report obtained by the Seattle Times.

Wheeler is an impending restricted free agent, but may not be in the Emerald City for much longer if this incident is any indication.

In addition, he played in the final five games of the 2020 season in relief of Jamarco Jones and others with little success, which only raises the skepticism regarding his future in the NFL.

Quinton Dunbar asks court for permission to attend Seahawks camp

Cornerback Quinton Dunbar has petitioned the court for permission to leave the state of Florida to attend Seahawks training camp this summer.

Cornerback Quinton Dunbar may be able to attend Seattle Seahawks training camp this summer despite the original order preventing him from traveling out of state.

Dunbar was charged with four counts of armed robbery, which stemmed from an incident that was alleged to have occurred this May in the Miami area. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges and a trial date has yet to be set.

One of the conditions of his release, however, was the mandate that he does not travel out of state while the charges are pending. He has now petitioned the court to do just that so he can join his teammates at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center in Renton. The motion was not opposed by the prosecution.

“Quinton Dunbar asks FL court for permission to travel outside the state so that he can attend training camp, which commences the last week of July in Washington,” Daniel Wallach tweeted Friday morning. “Motion is unopposed and notes that similar permission was granted to co-defendant DeAndre Baker.”

Seahawks training camp is set to kick off on July 28 and Dunbar is likely to be in attendance.
